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 re-circulation of exhaust fumes exists.
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.
