There are a number of important steps required to set up your generator for initial use. These 
steps are: 
 
 
Steps for Installation / Initial Set-Up 
1.  Unpacking & delivery inspection. 
2.  Planning the power load to stay within the generator’s rated 
capacity. 
3.  Getting gas hook-ups installed if natural gas or LP gas will be used as 
a fuel source. 
4.  Setting up generator for the type of power generation you need: 
a.  portable power source, or  
b.  connected to a building as a back-up power source. 
5.  Selecting a site for using the generator. 
6. Grounding. 
7.  Battery installation (electric start models only).
 
 
 
Each of these steps is discussed in detail below: 
 
1.  Unpacking & Delivery Inspection 
You should inspect the generator immediately after you receive delivery. 
 
See the “Machine Component Identification” section of this manual for a 
diagram of the generator and its components.  
 
•  If you have missing components, contact Product Support at 1-800-270-0810. 
•  If you have damaged components, contact the freight company that delivered the unit and file a 
claim. 
 
 
2. Planning the Power Load 
Plan your power load so that you do not exceed the generator’s rated capacity. 
 
See the “Power Load Planning & Management” section of this manual to review how to plan and 
manage power loads for the generator.
