Section 3: Operation

Site Prep Verification

It is important that the generator is installed in such a way
that the airflow into and out of the generator is not
impeded. Verify that all shrubs or tall grasses have been
removed within 3 ft (0.91 m) of the intake and discharge
louvers on the sides of the enclosure. It is also important
that the generator is not subject to water intrusion. Verify
that all potential sources such as water sprinklers, roof
run-off, rain gutter down spouts and sump pump
discharges are directed away from the generator
enclosure.
WARNING

free from leaves, grass, snow and other debris.
Failure to do so could result in death, serious injury,
property, and equipment damage.
DANGER

render unit inoperable before working on unit.
Failure to do so will result in death or serious injury.
Turn the generator OFF before performing maintenance.
