LOCATION 

 

For best service from your portable generator set there are several factors, which should be taken 
into consideration when choosing the best location in which to operate it: 
 

MOISTURE:

  All electrical equipment should be protected from excessive moisture. Failure to do so 

will result in deterioration of the insulation and may result in short circuits and a possible 
electrocution hazard. 
 

                                    

OPERATING ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT IN WET ENVIRONMENTAL 

     CONDITIONS CREATES A POTENTIAL ELECTROCUTION HAZARD.  
     DO NOT OPERATE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT WHILE STANDING IN  
     WATER, ON WET GROUND, OR WITH WET HANDS OR SHOES.

 

 
DIRT:

   Foreign materials such as dust, sand and other abrasive materials have a tendency to cause 

excessive wear to both engine and generator parts. It is important that the unit be operated in a 
reasonably clean environment. 
 

HEAT:

   All engines give off considerable heat when running. Since the engine and your generator 

set uses air to keep it cool it is important that the temperature of the area in which it is located is 
does not exceed 100

F (even while it is running). Where natural ventilation is inadequate a fan to 

boost circulation should be utilized. 
 

EXHAUST:

  Exhaust Gases from internal combustion engines are extremely poisonous. Whenever 

an engine is run indoors the exhaust fumes must be vented to the outside. 
 

                  

EXHAUST FUMES CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. ALWAYS  

                      OPERATE IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA. 

 
 

CONFINED SPACE:

   This unit must not be operated in a confined space or an enclosed 

compartment / area. Running the generator set in this environment is a potential fire hazard and is 
not authorized. Engine and generator overheating damage could also occur due to restricted cooling 
air flow to and from the unit. 
 

  

 

 

       

OPERATING THIS UNIT IN AN AREA WITHOUT ADEQUATE  

                                             VENTILATION CREATES A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. ALWAYS  
                                             OPERATE THIS UNIT IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA.
