SGCO Clip-on Corner Clamp Unit Installation

  1. Pull the lock pawl handle forward. Lift the clamp handle to rotate the clamp shaft 90 Degrees.

  2. Lift the unit into mounting position on front wall of the container. The foot of generator set mounting clamp should fit into mounting hole on each side of the container.

      Caution
    • Risk of Injury
    • Take adequate precautions when lifting and mounting the generator set to prevent personal injury or unit damage.

  3. Insert the foot of the mounting clamp fully into the container mounting hole. Pull lock pawl handle forward. Pull the clamp handle down to rotate the clamp shaft bolt 90° and clamp generator set to container.

      Caution
    • Service Procedure
    • Watch the clamp flat on threaded end of the mounting shaft when rotating the handle. The clamp flat should turn as the clamp handle rotates. With the mounting clamp in the locked position (handle down), the clamp flat must be horizontal. If the flat is not horizontal, check the clamp handle for a broken shoulder screw.

  4. Release the lock pawl to hold the clamp handle in the locked (down) position.

      Caution
    • Service Procedure
    • Excessive vibration or unit malfunction can occur if mounting clamps are not properly secured. The generator set MUST be tight against the container.

  5. Check to be sure the generator set frame fits tightly against the container. Turning the mounting clamp handle should pull the generator set frame tight against the container front wall. If necessary, tighten the mounting clamp. The mounting clamp can be tightened or loosened by turning the nut on the head of the clamp shaft.
