1.11 LOCATION
n
The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide, which can be DEADLY. This dan-
gerous gas, if breathed in sufficient con-
centrations, can cause unconsciousness or
even death. This generator must be installed
properly, in strict compliance with applicable
codes and standards. Following installation,
do nothing that might render the system
unsafe or in noncompliance with such codes
and standards.
Operate the generator outdoors ONLY.
• Keep exhaust gases from entering a confined
area through windows, doors, ventilation, crawl
spaces or other openings (Figure 1.7).
• It is highly recommended that carbon monox-
ide detector(s) be installed indoors according
to the manufacturer's instructions/recommen-
dations.
