Site Selection and Preparation

Transportation Recommendations

1. Use a two wheeled hand cart or metal rails to carry
the generator (including the wooden pallet) to the
installation site. Place cardboard between the hand
cart and the generator to prevent any damage or
scratches to the generator.
2. See Figure 3-5. Remove bolts from the pallet
brackets (A).
Figure 3-5. Generator on Pallet
3. Lift the generator from the wooden pallet.
NOTE: Be extremely careful when removing the
generator from the pallet. Dragging it off the pallet WILL
damage the base!
4. Unhook and remove the brackets from the
generator.
Placement on Roofs, Platforms,
and Other Supporting Structures
Where required to place the generator on a roof,
platform, or other supporting structure, like a deck, the
generator shall be placed in accordance with the
requirements in NFPA 37, Section 4.1.3. The generator
can be located 18 in (45.7 cm) from structures having
combustible walls and 5 ft (1.52 m) from any operable
opening in the structure. The surface beneath the
generator and beyond shall be noncombustible to a
minimum distance of 12 in (30.5 cm). Consult with the
local Building Inspection Department or Fire Department
to determine which noncombustible materials are
approved for installation.
