Home Generator Location

Before installing generator, consult with homeowner and convey the following guidelines which may affect the desired location.

WARNING

Exhaust heat / gasses can ignite combustibles or structures causing a fire.

•DO NOT install the generator closer than 5 feet (1.5m) from any combustibles or structures with combustible walls having a fire resistance rating of less than 1 hour.

•Keep at least minimum distances shown in General Location Guidelines to insure for proper generator cooling and maintenance clearances.

Generator Location

Install generator outdoors in an area which will not accumulate deadly exhaust gas. DO NOT install generator where exhaust gas could accumulate and enter inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied building. Ensure exhaust gas is kept away from any windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings that can allow exhaust gas to collect in a confined area. Prevailing winds and air currents should be taken into consideration when positioning generator.

WARNING

Running engine gives off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas.

Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headache, fatigue, dizziness, vomiting, confusion, seizures, nausea, fainting, or death.

•Operate generator ONLY outdoors.

•Install a battery operated carbon monoxide alarm near the bedrooms.

•Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through windows, doors, ventilation intakes, or other openings.

General Location Guidelines

•Install the unit outdoors ONLY.

•Place the unit in a prepared location that is flat and has provisions for water drainage.

•Install the unit in a location where sump pump discharge, rain gutter down spouts, roof run-off, landscape irrigation, or water sprinklers will not flood the unit or spray the enclosure and enter any air inlet our outlet openings.

•Install the unit where the location of any services such as phone, electrical, fuel, air conditioning, irrigation, including covered, concealed and underground services will not be affected or obstructed.

•Install the unit where air inlet and outlet openings will not become obstructed by leaves, grass, snow, etc. If prevailing winds will cause blowing or drifting, you may need to construct a windbreak to protect the unit.

•Install the generator as close as possible to the Transfer Switch and fuel supply to reduce the length of wiring, conduit, and piping.

IMPORTANT: Laws or local codes may regulate the distance to the fuel supply.

The Minimum (MIN) clearances from aerial view of generator (B) to combustible (D), and non-combustible (A) materials is shown below.

•These distances are provided to give generator location guidance relative ONLY to combustibles, generator cooling, and maintenance.

•The minimum distances in the figure are as shown. All four sides of the generator cannot be enclosed or restricted, even if the minimum distances are maintained. DO NOT connect (A) and/or (D) to (E)

•A roof cannot be used.

•Exhaust (C) must not be allowed to accumulate.
