GENERAL INSTALLATION & SITE SELECTION GUIDELINES
This information is for general reference only! It must not be used as
the single source of information for installing the generator set. For more specific/detailed information read the installation manual that accompanied the generator set.
Incorrect installation of the generator set could result in property damage, injury, or death! Installation of this generator set must be performed by qualified / professional technicians or contractors.
The generator set installation along with it's fuel supply piping should be inspected on a regular basis for potentially dangerous situations (i.e. fuel leaks, exhaust leaks, loose or broken wiring, etc.). Any potential problems should be corrected by a qualified technician as soon as possible.
Baldor Generators does NOT recommend and strongly discourages the operation of their generators inside residential or other occupied buildings due to the hazards associated with toxic fumes, hot operating conditions and combustible fuel.
Prior to installing the generator set, an adequate operating site should be selected for it. When selecting a site for your generator set, take into account factors such as safety, noise, cooling and other miscellaneous considerations.
Only generator sets with the factory installed enclosure should be placed outdoors in constant, direct exposure to the elements. These enclosure- equipped units should be mounted outside in a fashion similar to home central air conditioners.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
1.The generator set must not be located near any combustible material due to the substantial amount of heat generated by the unit while it is operating.
2.When the installation is in a confined area, the exhaust must be plumbed to the outside air. Care must be taken so that no
3.Adequate ventillation must be present whenever the generator set is running not only to evacuate the heated cooling air and exhaust fumes, but also to prevent the potential of an LP fume concentration.
4.The generator set should not be located in a spot that is prone to standing water
Baldor Generators strongly recommends that your AE Unit be installed on a concrete or cement slab of appropriate size relative to the generator's base which is at least five (5) feet from any building, structure, shrubbery, or any other obstruction that could possibly catch fire due to the extreme heat output of this generator set.
