Generator Clearances
Install generator outdoors in an area which will not accumulate
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.

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 our outlet openings.

phone, electrical, fuel, air conditioning, irrigation, including
covered, concealed and underground services will not be

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 fuel supply
to reduce length of pipes.
