Section 3

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. (Refer to Section 9 of this manual).

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. The generator weighs between 100 and 300 lbs. Use proper lift equipment and methods to avoid injury. Lift only by the tubular metal frame.

Storage

If you will not be using the generator set for a significant amount of time (3 months or longer) you

 

should store the generator to prevent any problems that could arise from sitting idle. Please fully

 

read the following guidelines prior to storing the unit.

 

1.

Remove all fuel from the engine’s fuel tank.

 

2.

Start the generator set and allow it to run out of fuel.

 

3.

Close all the fuel valves.

Note: An alternative to draining the fuel from a gasoline engine is adding a fuel stabilizer, to minimize the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage (Follow the manufacturer’s directions). After the fuel stabilizer is added, run the generator set for 5 minutes to get the stabilizer into the carburetor. After shutting the engine off, be sure to close all the fuel valves.

4.Disconnect and remove the battery if your generator set is so equipped.

5.Drain the used oil from the engine’s crankcase and refill it with clean oil.

6.Remove the spark plugs and pour1 oz. of clean engine oil into each cylinder. Put a rag over each spark plug port and turn the engine over approximately 5 times to distribute the oil in the cylinder.

7.Replace the spark plug(s) but do not connect the plug wires. This will help prevent accidental or unauthorized starting.

8.Provide maintenance to the engine and generator set as described in the engine and generator maintenance sections of this manual.

9.Cover any bare metal spots with paint or another type of rust preventative.

WARNING: Never store an engine with fuel in its tank indoors or in an enclosed, poorly ventilated area where gasoline fumes could reach an ignition source and cause an explosion.
