‹1.10.1 GENERATOR

Install the generator set, in its protective enclosure, outdoors, where adequate cooling and ventilating air is always available (Figure 1.9). Consider these fac- tors:

•The installation of the generator must comply strictly with NFPA 37, NFPA 54, NFPA 58, and NFPA 70 standards.

•Install the unit where air inlet and outlet open- ings will not become obstructed by leaves, grass, snow, etc.. If prevailing winds will cause blowing or drifting, consider using a windbreak to protect the unit.

•Install the generator on high ground where water levels will not rise and endanger it.

•Allow sufficient room on all sides of the generator for maintenance and servicing. This unit must be installed in accordance with current applicable NFPA 37 and NFPA 70 standards; as well as any other federal, state and local codes for minimum distances from other structures. DO NOT install under wooden decks or structures.

•Install the unit where rain gutter down spouts, roof fun-off, landscape irrigation, water sprinklers or sump pump discharge does not flood the unit or spray the enclosure, including any air inlet or outlet openings.

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

•Where strong prevailing winds blow from one direction, face the generator air inlet openings to the prevailing winds.
