Generator Location
Please consult your local authority. In some
areas, generators must be registered with
the local utility.
Generators used at construction sites may be
subject to additional rules and regulations.
This generator must have at least five feet of
clearance from combustible material. Leave
at least three feet of clearance on all sides of
the generator to allow for adequate cooling,
maintenance and servicing.
Place the generator in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT place the generator near vents or
intakes where exhaust fumes could be drawn
into occupied or confined spaces. Carefully
consider wind and air currents when
positioning generator.
