The actual physical location of your home generator has a
direct affect on:
1. The amount of plumbing required to fuel
your generator.
2. The amount of wiring required to control and connect
your generator.
Specific location guidelines are discussed in the installation
manual. Acquaint yourself with that information and confer
with your installer. Be sure to ask how your site might
affect installation costs and compliance with local codes
and standards.
• Install generator outdoors in an area that 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 or structure.
• By law it is required in many states to have a Carbon
Monoxide (CO) detector in operating condition in
your home. Carbon monoxide detector(s)
a
MUST
be installed and maintained indoors according to
the manufacturer’s instructions/ recommendations.
A CO monitor is an electronic device that detects
hazardous levels of CO. When there is a buildup of
CO, the monitor will alert the occupants by flashing
visual indicator light and alarm. Smoke alarms cannot
detect CO gas.
Generator Location
WaRninG Exhaust heat/gases could ignite combustibles or
structures resulting in death, serious injury and/or property
damage.
• Exhaust outlet side of weatherproof enclosure must have at least
5 ft (1.5 m) minimum clearance from any structure, shrubs, trees or
any kind of vegetation.
• Standby generator weatherproof enclosure must be at least
5 ft (1.5 m) from windows, doors, any wall opening, shrubs or
vegetation over 12 inches (30.5 cm) in height.
• Standby generator weatherproof enclosure must have a minimum
of 5 feet (1.5 m) overhead clearance from any structure, overhang
or trees.
• DO NOT place weatherproof enclosure under a deck or other type
of structure that may confine airflow.
• USE ONLY flexible steel fuel line provided. Connect provided fuel
line to generator, DO NOT use with or substitute any other flexible
fuel line.
• Smoke detector(s) MUST be installed and maintained indoors
according to the manufacturer’s instructions/ recommendations.

odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide could result in death, serious
injury, headache, fatigue, dizziness, vomiting, confusion,
seizures, nausea or fainting.
• Operate this product ONLY outdoors in an area that will not
accumulate deadly exhaust gas.
• Keep 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.
• Ensure exhaust gas is kept 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. Your
neighbor(s) home may be exposed to the engine
exhaust from your standby generator and must be
considered when installing your standby generator.
• Wind and air currents should be taken into
consideration when positioning generator.
