Generator Placement
Before installing the generator, consult with the homeowner
and convey the following requirements, which must be
satisfied before the installation is complete. There are two
equally important safety concerns in regards to carbon
monoxide poisoning and fire. There are also several general
location guidelines that must be met before the installation is
considered complete.
WARNING
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a
poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You cannot
smell it, see it, or taste it. Even if you do not smell exhaust
fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon monoxide gas.
• Operate this product ONLY outdoors in an area that will
not accumulate deadly exhaust gas.
• Direct exhaust gas away from any windows, doors,
ventilation intakes, soffit vents, crawl spaces, open
garage doors or other openings that can allow exhaust
gas to enter inside or be drawn into a potentially
occupied building or structure.
• Carbon monoxide detector(s) MUST be installed and
maintained indoors according to the manufacturer’s
instructions/recommendations. Smoke alarms cannot
detect carbon monoxide gas.
• If you start to feel sick, dizzy, weak, or your carbon
monoxide alarm sounds while using this product, get to
fresh air right away. Call emergency services. You may
have carbon monoxide poisoning.
• DO NOT run this product inside homes, garages,
basements, crawlspaces, sheds, or other partially-
enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors and
windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can quickly
build up in these spaces and can linger for hours, even
after this product has shut off.
• ALWAYS place this product downwind and point the
engine exhaust (A) away from occupied spaces.
(A) Exhaust outlet side of enclosure.
(B)Air inlet side of enclosure.
Generator Location Considerations
The installation location of the generator has a direct effect
on:
1. The amount and size of the plumbing required to fuel the
generator.
2. The amount and size of the wiring required to control and
connect the generator.
3. The safety of the installation regarding exhaust gas and
carbon monoxide hazards, fire risks, proximity to other
utilities, and exposure to weather elements.
Specific location guidelines are discussed in the next
section. The owner and installer must consult one another
to determine how the site can affect installation costs and
compliance with local codes andstandards.
There are two critical safety concerns to be addressed -
carbon monoxide poisoning and the risk of fire, as follows:
