Access Doors

The Home Generator System is equipped with an enclosure that has three access doors (Figure 4). The doors are named for a significant component located behind them. Starting with the side that has the fuel connection and proceeding clockwise, the doors are named:

•Oil Fill door

•Control Panel door

•Oil Drain door

WARNING

Contact with muffler area can result in serious burns.

•DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.

•Allow equipment to cool before touching.

Each Home Generator System is equipped with two identical keys. These keys fit the locks that secure the access doors.

To Open an Access Door:

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.
