Section 2 Load and Transport

To ensure personal safety while preventing damage to

the product, we strongly recommend the following

guidelines be observed when loading and transporting

standby generator sets. Due to the different designs,

dimensions and weights of the generators involved,

specific instructions for each model are not provided.

However, these guidelines are applicable to the full

standby line (although minor procedural changes may

be necessary between sets). It is the responsibility of the

dealer/distributor to see that generator loading and

transport be performed within the framework of these

guidelines. Obviously, prepackaged (crated) sets may

be exempt from certain aspects of this section.

(Prepackaged generators generally are loaded in their

containers with the aid of lift trucks.)

2.1 Lifting the Generator Set

D Do not lift the generator set by the lifting eyes

attached to the engine and/or alternator. These

lifting eyes are only used during generator assembly

and are not capable of supporting the entire weight of

the generator. The mounting skid of each standby

generator set includes four holes for attaching the

lifting device. These holes are strategically placed to

avoid damage to generator components by lifting

cables and to maintain balance during lifting. In some

cases, it may be necessary to remove protruding

generator components (air cleaner, shrouding) to

avoid damage by lifting cables.
