The generator weighs more than 500 pounds (227 kg).
Proper tools, equipment and qualified personnel should be
used in all phases of handling and moving the generator.
Two 60" lengths of 3/4" nominal minimum scheduled 40
steel pipe (A), supplied by the installer, are required to lift the
generator manually. Insert pipes through the lifting holes (B)
located near the unit's base.
You may also lift the unit using a "hook and hoist" method
attached to the lifting pipes, provided that you use a spreader
bar to ensure that the chains or cables DO NOT touch the
generator's roof.
Concrete Anchoring of Unit

recommended to anchor the standby generator to concrete.
The concrete anchors must be rated to hold 800 lbs ( kg).
There are four (C) 7/16 inch hole locations around the base of
generator in which to anchor the unit.
NOTICE Unless mandated by local or state code, a
concrete slab is not required.
