D
Meet applicable fire rating codes and standards.
D
Position the generator set over a noncombustible
surface. DO NOT allow accumulation of combustible
materials under or around the generator set.
D
Permit vibration isolation to reduce noise and prevent
damage.
D
Not be subject to flooding.
D
Provide clearance for cooling air flow and access for
service. See Section 2.2 for required clearances from
obstructions and combustible materials.
D
Allow safe expulsion of exhaust.
D
Minimize the risk of public or unauthorized access.
Notice
DO NOT locate the generator set near patios,
decks, play areas, or animal shelters. Keep items
such as lawn furniture, toys, sports equipment,
and all combustible materials away from the
generator set exhaust outlet.
Remind family members, children, and visitors to
use caution near the generator set. Generator
sets connected to automatic transfer switches
start automatically during exercise periods and
power outages. Some generator set components
become hot when the generator set is running and
remain hot for a time after the generator set shuts
down.
2.1.2
Mounting Surface
The manufacturer recommends a single, level concrete
mounting pad. This method provides maximum stability
for the generator set. The recommended mounting pad
dimensions are shown in the dimension drawings in
Section 4.
Refer to the generator set dimension drawings for
conduit and fuel-line placement. The drawings give
dimensions for electrical and fuel connection rough-ins
and stub-ups.
2.1.3
Vibration Isolation
The generator set is equipped with neoprene vibration
isolators. Connections between the generator set or its
mounting base and any conduits or fuel lines must
include flexible sections to prevent breakage and to
isolate vibration.

2.1.4
Lifting Generator Set
WARNING
Unbalanced weight.
Improper lifting can cause severe
injury or death and equipment
damage.
Do not use lifting eyes.
Lift the generator set using lifting bars
inserted through the lifting holes on
the skid.
Enclosed units weigh approximately 500 kg (1100 lb.).
Use equipment that is rated for the generator set's
weight to lift the unit into place. Lift the enclosure and
generator set together as one unit.
DO NOT lift the generator set using the lifting eyes
attached to the engine and/or alternator. These eyes
cannot support the generator set's weight. Instead,
insert lifting hooks or lifting bars through the four holes in
the mounting skid. The placement of the holes
maintains balance during lifting.
