General Information
3. Inspect the generator for shipping damage and if necessary,
file a claim with the shipper.
Remove the bands holding the generator to the wooden pallet.
4. Make sure the lifting equipment to be used has sufficient
capacity to safely handle the weight of the generator.
Use nylon lifting straps and connect them to the lifting eyes
on each corner of the base frame to avoid damaging the
enclosure.
5. Set the generator onto the pad so that the gravel bed extends
beyond the generator on all sides.
Make sure the generator is level within ½ inch.

6. The ground lug is a UL requirement, it is not an NEC
requirement. Grounding should follow local regulations. The
generator should be grounded through the grounding (green
or bare) conductor to the main service ground through the
service disconnect transfer switch.
7. Check the engine oil and, if necessary, add enough of the
recommended oil to bring the level up to the FULL mark on
the dipstick. Be careful not to overfill the crankcase.
CONVERTING TO LP VAPOR
1. The generator was configured for natural gas operation at the
factory. Switching over to LP Vapor is a simple procedure.
On units with the 8 KVA unit engine, begin by disconnecting
and removing the battery if installed. Follow all of the
procedures and safety precautions in the generator Owner's
Manual when installing and connecting, or disconnecting the
battery.
