Receiving & Installation
Receiving & Inspection When you receive your generator, there are several things you should do immediately.
1.Observe the condition of the shipping container and report any damage immediately to the commercial carrier that delivered your system.
2.Verify that the part number of the system you received is the same as the part number listed on your purchase order.
3.If the system is to be stored for several weeks before use, be sure that it is stored in a location that conforms to published storage temperature and humidity specifications.
WARNING: Never stand under or close to an object that is being hoisted or lift into position. Accidents happen and if the object falls or tips over you or someone else could be crushed by the weight of the object causing severe injury or death to to yourself or others. Always remain a safe distance from the object and always wear protective head gear (hard hat).
Lifting the Generator When lift or hoist equipment is used to lift the generator and move it to position, be careful not to contact overhead wires or other obstacles. Be sure the lift or hoist equipment has appropriate capacity and tires for the terrain to avoid becoming stuck or tipping over. If the shipping pallet is intact, use a fork lift to move the generator. If the shipping pallet has been removed, use the “Lift Point” hole at the top of the generator, Figure
The lift point is designed only for the weight of the generator and factory trailer. Do not lift by these points if the generator is mounted to a trailer that has been modified from the factory specifications for stock units. Please consult Baldor for custom designs.

Physical Location The mounting location of the system is important. It should be installed in an area that is protected from direct harmful gases or liquids, dust, metallic particles, shock and vibration.
It should be installed in an outdoor location so the exhaust fumes are vented to the atmosphere.
When the Generator is installed outdoors
The factory installed enclosure is designed to keep out undesirable weather elements while providing cooling and ventilation.
