Fuel And Electrical Inlet Dimensions; Lifting The Generator - Briggs & Stratton 1931-0 Manual De Instalación

General Location Guidelines
• Install the unit outdoors ONLY. NO MODIFICATIONS
WILL ALLOW INSIDE INSTALLATION!
• Place the unit in a prepared location that is flat and has
provisions for water drainage.
• Install the unit where air inlet and outlet openings will
not become obstructed by leaves, grass, snow, etc. If
prevailing winds will cause blowing or drifting, you may
need to construct a windbreak to protect the unit.
• In locations where strong winds blow from one
direction, face the generator air inlet openings into the
prevailing winds, if possible.
• Install the generator as close as possible to the
Automatic Power Transfer System to reduce the length
of wiring and conduit.
• Install the generator as close as possible to the fuel
supply to reduce length of pipes.
CAUTION!
Laws or local codes may regulate the
distance to the fuel supply.
The Home Standby Generator is shipped already attached
to its mounting pad. Unless mandated by local code, no
concrete slab is required.
If mandated by local code, detach the unit from its supplied
base. Construct a concrete slab at least 3 inches thick and

are required to lift the generator manually. Insert pipes
through the lifting holes located near the unit's base, as
shown in Figure 3 (next page).
