Generator Clearances
WARNING
Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles or
structures causing a fire.
• Keep at least 5 ft. (152 cm) clearance on all sides of generator
including overhead.
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.

INSTALLATION
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.
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.
• Install the unit where the location of any services such as
phone, electrical, fuel, air conditioning, irrigation, including
covered, concealed and underground services will not be
affected or obstructed.
• Install the unit where air inlet and outlet openings will
not become obstructed by leaves, grass, snow, etc. If
prevailing winds will cause blowing or drifting, you may
need to construct a windbreak to protect the unit.
• Install the generator as close as possible to the Transfer
Switch to reduce the length of wiring and conduit.
• Install the generator as close as possible to the fuel
supply to reduce length of pipes.
IMPORTANT: Laws or local codes may regulate the
distance to the fuel supply.
The Home Generator System is shipped already attached
to its mounting pad. Unless mandated by local code, a
concrete slab is not required.
If mandated by local code, construct a concrete slab at least
3 inches thick and 6 inches longer and wider than the unit.
Attach unit to slab with 1/4" diameter (minimum) masonry
anchor bolts long enough to retain the unit.
