- Locate the fill port cap (center of short side, nearest the product label).
Ensure the cap is securely pressed into the pad, and then tip the pad on the edge where the plug is located. This process shifts the powdered gelling agent contained inside the pad toward the fill port.
- Place the QwikPad for Generators on level, compacted ground where the equipment is to be installed (or on top of an existing, level concrete pad).
- Remove the fill port cap. Insert a garden hose into the fill port and fill QwikPad for Generators to the top with tap water.
Do not overfill – Overfilling could result in losing a portion of the gelling agent. Replace the fill port cap.
In areas that experience frequent freeze-thaw cycles, only fill the QwikPad for Generators 80% full for increased lifetime. This can be done by filling the pad with water to a depth of only 3 inches – when filling, use a dipstick or straw to periodically check the liquid height. Verify an 80% fill still meets local wind regulations by referring to our online calculator and information.
- Additional Anchor (Required for some installations. QT8381 and QT8382 hardware sold separately).
Install concrete or ground anchor as required by wind load calculations.
Concrete Anchor (QT8381) Installation:- With the pad in place, drill a hole in the concrete using a 3/16” masonry bit aligned with the anchor hole centrally located on the QwikPad to 1.375” minimum depth.
- Secure the pad using the 1/4″x 5″ concrete anchor with fender washer.
round Anchor (QT8382) Installation: - With pad in place, install ground anchor in the anchor hole centrally located on the QwikPad.
- Place the equipment onto the QwikPad for Generators and center.
Secure the generator to the pad using the included stainless steel mounting bolts with lock and flat washers. Torque to 20-25 FT•LB.
Refer to the table at the bottom of Step 1 for the appropriate hardware.
NOTE: Mounting bolt placement is specific to the generator model.
