Generator Placement

Section 4: Generator Placement

Generator Placement
See Figure 4-1. All air-cooled generators come
with an integrated composite pad. This inte-
grated composite pad elevates the generator
and helps prevent water from pooling around
base.
Figure 4-1. Integrated Composite Pad
The integrated composite pad allows the gen-
erator to be placed on two types of Generac
approved surfaces:
• on 5 in (12.7 cm) of compacted pea gravel
or crushed stone
• on a concrete pad
See local codes to verify what type of site
base is required. If a concrete pad is required,
all federal, state, and local codes must be fol-
lowed. Place generator, with integrated com-
posite pad attached, and position correctly as
per dimensional information given in
Selection and Preparation.
NOTE: Generator must be level within 0.5 in
(13 mm).
NOTE: See Figure 4-2. DO NOT remove inte-
grated composite pad for mounting generator
to concrete. The integrated composite pad is
pre-drilled to accommodate mounting bolts.
Figure 4-2. Mounting Hole Locations
18
Three mounting holes are available if codes
require
Mounting holes are located inside the genera-
tor compartment—two in front and one in
back.
Three 3/8 in (or M10) lag bolts (not supplied)
are recommended for securing generator to a
concrete pad.
NOTE: The top of the generator carton has a
template which can be used to mark concrete
pad to pre-drill the mounting holes.

Snap one of the end pieces into one of the
front/rear pieces of fascia. Repeat this
action with the other two remaining pieces
of fascia (B).
NOTE: Do not assemble all four pieces
together at this point.
4.
Place both assemblies at generator base
and fit the rubber mounts into the lifting

holes in the generator base (C).
5.
Once aligned, snap together the two
remaining connection points.
