INSTALLATION
REQUIREMENTS & RECCOMENDATIONS
Installation requirements may vary with each application depending on generator
specification and optional equipment. Listed below are general recommendations for installing a
Power Technology Stand-By Generator. Only qualified and licensed personnel should be
employed to perform the installation. Follow all Safety Procedures outlined in this manual as
well as those in the optional equipment manuals.
Depending on location, Local and or State Building Codes may apply to
the installation. Be sure to check with the appropriate authorities prior to installation and obtain
the required permits which apply.
NOTE: Damage to the generator and optional equipment due to improper installation may not be
covered by Power Technology Southeast, Inc. Limited Warranty.
LOCATING THE GENERATOR:
A permanent location for the generator is a major factor to consider when planning an
installation. These units are large and extremely heavy and will require a substantial foundation
like a concrete slab to support its weight. Placing the generator directly on the earth is not
recommended, dirt and debris can be drawn into the generator causing untimely component
failure. Another consideration is water drainage, low lying areas prone to flooding should be
avoided. Therefore planning for a permanent location is an important first step in the installation.
Local and or State Building Codes may mandate dimensions and materials used in a foundation
or slab.
SERVICABILITY:
As with any machine the generator will require periodic maintenance. Be sure the
generator is accessible on all sides. Recommended clearance between the generator and other
objects is at least 2 feet. This clearance is also required for proper ventilation and cooling. Avoid
locating the generator next to an object which may cause an air flow restriction.
EXHAUST ROUTING:
The exhaust from the generator must be safely routed away from all building openings.
Avoid exhausting near windows, doors, air handlers, roof eves and vents. Avoid exhausting into
confined areas with little or no air circulation. Avoid exhausting near neighboring structures as
well. The exhaust system should be routinely inspected and maintained. Local and or State
Building Codes may mandate exhaust routing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION:
In most installations the generator is connected to a buildings existing electrical system as
a back-up electrical supply. This means the generator will be wired into the buildings electrical
panel typically through an automatic transfer switch. Wiring and connections must be made by a
licensed electrician in accordance with Local and or State Building Codes.
FUEL STORAGE:
Depending upon the specific application, the type of fuel storage tank and capacity must
be considered. Typically a fuel storage tank which meets UL 142 Specifications is required.
Location and connections may be mandated by Local and or State Building Codes. Consult your
fuel supplier as to fuel maintenance and extended storage requirements. Adding a fuel stabilizer
may be necessary to extend the usable fuel life.
