General Precautions (cont’d)
Installation (cont’d)
• If the generator is installed outdoors, it must be weatherproofed and should be soundproofed. It
should not be run outdoors without protection to the generator and wiring conduit.
• The generator weighs 201 lbs (approx). Two or more people should assist when moving or lifting
this product. Never lift the generator using the engine or alternator lifting lugs. Connect lifting
equipment to the frame of the generator
• Before lifting the generator, ensure the lift rigging and supporting structure are in good
condition, and are rated to lift such a load.
• Keep all personnel away from the suspended generator during relocating.
• The supporting floor/ground surface should be level and strong enough to safely hold the weight
of the generator. If the floor/grounded surface is not level, strong cross members should be
placed under the full length of the generator frame at its low side.
• For trailer installation, the generator should be mounted on the center point of the trailer, over
the wheels. The trailer must be capable of supporting the weight of the generator and all
contents (tools, etc.)
• Install sound-and weather-proofing only when it is not raining or snowing to avoid trapping
moisture within the generator’s area.
Mechanical
• Always make sure the power switch is in its “OFF” position. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and
allow the engine to completely cool before carrying out maintenance.
• Check for damaged parts. Before using the generator, any part that appears damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment and binding of moving parts, any broken parts or mounting fixtures, and any
other condition that may affect proper operation technician.
• The generator is designed with guards for protection from moving parts. In any case, care must
still be taken to protect personnel and equipment from other mechanical hazards when working
around the generator.
