Installation
From a Cummins/Onan service manual — check it applies to your exact model before use.
Applies to: Cummins/Onan HGLAA
Before you start
- The generator set should not be turned upside down at any time; turning it upside down can cause oil to drain out of the engine.

Procedure
- Insert 2 shoulder bolts on each side of the base pan (shoulder bolts are supplied with the generator set).
- Use a 4-legged sling and insert a bracket at each shoulder bolt.
- Make sure each bracket is seated firmly before lifting.
- Slowly lift the unit off the ground and make sure all brackets and shoulder bolts are seated properly on each side.
- Move the unit slowly to the location.
- Set the generator set on a surface able to safely support the full weight.
- Slide out each bracket from the shoulder bolts.
