Attach an overhead crane to the eyebolts that are installed on the generator frame.
Use a lift truck in order to lift the generator.The hoist and the hoist cables should have a rating greater than the weight of the generator.Note: The machine weight can be found on the rating plate, dimension drawing, and the packing list.

Lifting the generator
Ensure that the machine is lifted from its frame. Do not lift the machine from the top cover.Always keep the generator in the horizontal position during lifting. Keeping the generator horizontal will reduce the risk of the rotor falling out if a single-bearing design.Note: A machine mounted on a pallet should be lifted by crane from the lifting eyes of the machine.
