around the enclosure for access to the inside of the enclosure.

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 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 Standby Generator 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.

Essential Circuits

Consult with owner to clearly identify the circuits in
building that are "essential".
It is important that you understand which circuits the
owner wants to include as "Essential Circuits". Depending
on the power consumed by these circuits, most or all of
them can be switched to the Standby Generator for the
duration of normal power interruption.
