WARNING!

A gas line runs behind the door jam on the 5K generator.
Turn off the gas prior to installing the security bar. Be
careful not to puncture or damage the line.

Using a 4-ft level and a pencil, mark the front of

1.
the enclosure where you want to place the top side
brackets and bar. See recommended placement
specifi cations available at www.alpha.com (P/N 745-
847-C1-001). See Fig. 2.

Measure from the sides and mark the holes with a

2.
center punch. These will be the top holes used by
the side brackets.

Remove the door.

3.
Place cardboard behind the door jam to protect

4.
the electronic equipment from the metal shavings
created during drilling. The carboard defl ects
the shavings, and should be removed when the
installation is complete.

Drill the holes using a #20 drill bit. See Fig 3.
