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
Running generator gives off carbon monoxide,
an odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea,
fainting or death.
• Operate generator ONLY outdoors.
• Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through
windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings.
