Installation

1. Place forks into fork pockets of generator set. Attach safety chain (A) between fork pockets on generator set
and fork truck. Be sure chain (A) is short enough to retain generator set on forks. Ensure that generator set
clamps (B) are in the unlocked position and actuating handle (C) in the horizontal position.
2. Move generator set against container and fully engage clamps into mating holes in container castings. On
both clamps, turn the actuating hand lever (C) into the vertical down position (locked). Using the ratchet
handle (D), tighten the hand nut. Tightening should continue until the face of the clamp is hard against the
corner casting and the actuating hand lever is moved over the locking tabs. Leave the ratchet handle (D)
engaged in the tightening direction with the ratchet handle in the vertical down position.
Double-check that the generator set clamp (B) is securely tightened against the face of the cor-
ner casting and that the generator set clamp hand nut is tight before transporting the con-
tainer. A loose fit could cause damage to both the generator set and the generator set clamp,
and cause serious injury during transport.
3. Keeping forks in pockets on the generator set, tighten bolt (E) into container frame on each side of the gen-
erator set. Torque mounting bolts to 125 + 25 ft. lbs (17.3 + 3.5 mkg). Ensure locking brackets (F) are locked
into position so as to capture bolt heads (E) and prevent turning.
4. Remove safety chain (A) before removing forks.
3.2.2

Removal

1. Place forks into fork pockets on generator set. Attach safety chain (A) between fork pockets on generator
set and fork truck.
2. Release retaining plate from locking bracket on each side of generator set.
3. Remove mounting bolt (E) on each side of generator set and tighten into threaded hole (G).
4. Disengage clamps (B) by setting ratchet handle (D) in the loosening position. Loosen the hand nut until the
actuating hand lever is clear of the locking tabs.
5. Turn actuating hand lever (C) upward into the horizontal position.
6. Carefully remove the generator set from the container.
