Home Standby Generator Location
Before installing generator, consult with homeowner and
convey the following guidelines which may affect the
desired location.
Generator Clearances
Place generator in a well ventilated area, which will allow for
removal of 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 (Figure 1). Prevailing winds and air currents
should be taken into consideration when positioning generator.
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 or outlet openings.
• Observe that the 15 Amp fuse has been removed from the
control panel for shipping.
• DO NOT install this fuse until all plumbing and wiring has
been completed and inspected.
Installing the 15A fuse could cause the engine to start.
CAUTION
• Keep at least 5 ft. (152 cm) clearance on all sides of generator
including overhead.
Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles or
structures causing a fire.
WARNING
Using a generator indoors WILL KILL YOU
IN MINUTES.
Exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a
poison gas you cannot see or smell.
NEVER use in the home
or in partly enclosed
areas such as garages.
ONLY use outdoors and
far from open windows,
doors, and vents.
