Installation Planning

Receiving

Receiving and Unpacking

Handle shipping cartons and crates with care to avoid
damage. Store and unpack cartons with the correct side
up, as noted by the label on the shipping carton.

Inspection

Carefully inspect the generator set and all contents of
cartons for any damage that may have occurred during
shipment. See the shipping documentation for any
provisions or guidance when damage is incurred. Correct
all damage or deficiencies before installation of the
generator set.

Storage Before Installation

Long Term Storage

If the unit is to be stored (or installed and not started-up)
for six months or more, preserve in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions. Contact the local IASD to
obtain the Long Term Preservation and Storage Manual
(Part No. 0G4018) and the Preservation Checklist (Part
No. 0G4018A).

Short Term Storage

If the unit is to be stored (or installed and not started) for
less than six months, proceed as follows:
• All units are provided with an enclosure.
•
Place the unit on a smooth flat surface. Do not
leave unit on the shipping pallet, as it leaves the
bottom open for entry of dirt, debris, insects,
rodents, etc.
•
Leave exhaust system openings covered.
• Leave plastic plugs in fuel connection points.
• Use anti-rodent plugs and other enclosure features
to prevent entry of birds, small animals, and foreign
objects.

Lifting

DANGER
Risk of electrocution. Avoid touching overhead
power lines when lifting or hoisting generator.
Failure to do so will result in death or serious
injury.
WARNING
Personal injury. Excessive weight. Use only
appropriate lifting eyes and lifting equipment to
lift unit. Improper lifting techniques could result in
equipment damage, death or serious injury. (000224)
Generators that weigh more than 900 pounds (408 kg)
require proper tools, equipment, and qualified personnel
to be used in all phases of handling and unpacking.
To ensure personal safety and prevent damage to the
unit, use only properly sized equipment intended for safe
rigging, lifting and moving of heavy machinery.
Use a spreader bar to prevent damage to the unit.
Failure to use a spreader bar will result in scratches
and damage to painted surfaces.
Installation drawings show the lifting points for rigging
and lifting purposes. Always attach lifting and rigging
devices at the designated points only. Do not use the
lifting points of the engine or alternator to move the
generator set. See Figure
