Rheem RESIDENTIAL GENERATOR SYSTEM GEN12S - Manual (Page 9)

Lifting the Generator
The generator weighs more than 560 pounds. Proper tools,
equipment and qualified personnel should be used in all
phases of handling and moving the generator.
Two 48” lengths of 1” pipe (supplied by the installer) are
required to lift the generator manually. Insert pipes through
the lifting holes located near the unit’s base, as shown in
Figure 3.
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.
After unit is in place, fill the lifting holes with the supplied
lifting hole plugs.
