Home Standby Generator Location
Before installing generator, consult with homeowner and
convey the following guidelines which may affect the
desired location.
Generator Clearances
The generator enclosure must be at least 5 ft. (152 cm)
from structures having combustible walls and/or other
combustible materials. Leave at least 3 ft. (92 cm) all around
the enclosure including the roof, for adequate cooling,
generator maintenance and servicing.
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
• 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
• Operate generator ONLY outdoors.
• Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through
windows, doors,ventilation intakes or other openings.
Running generator gives off carbon monoxide,
an odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea,
fainting or death.
