3.0 Installation
3.1 Installing the CE-3x2 5K-T or PN-6x-T 7.5kW Pad Template
To ease the installation of the generator enclosure, use the pad mounting template to
accurately locate the mounting holes for the generator cabinet mounting hardware. The
installation instructions for the two types of generator pad templates are the same, only the
dimensions vary.
Site Considerations:
• Where possible, select a site that is above the 100-year flood plain, and away from
houses.
• Place in a shaded location to minimize the effects of solar loading.
• Avoid locating the enclosure where it will be an obstruction or inhibit visibility.
• Locate the enclosure away from sprinkler systems or other sources of forced water.
• Locate the enclosure out of the prevailing wind to minimize the buildup of snow or the
accumulation of wind-borne dust.
• Determine if soil conditions are suitable for the installation of the required grounding
system.
• Verify utility power cabling has been run and terminated at the site.

Threaded fasteners with “hex” spacers (4).
Insert mounting bolts into the threaded
fasteners to prevent concrete from fouling the
threads. Once the pad has cured, attach the
enclosure to the threaded fasteners.
Sweep compression plate. For the CE-
3x2, verify sweep is held in place against
the frame by the compression plate. For
the PN-6xT, verify the sweep retaining
bracket is located properly.
