Placement of Standby Generator to REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard
NFPA 37 establishes criteria for minimizing the hazard
of fire during the installation and operation of stationary
combustion engines. NFPA 37 limits the spacing of an
enclosed generator from openings in walls, structures and
combustible materials outside the enclosure.
The placement requirements provided are based on
compliance to NFPA 37 2010 section 4.1.4.
WARNING Exhaust heat/gases could ignite combustibles or
structures resulting in death or serious injury.
• 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.
Carbon monoxide alarms cannot detect smoke.
• DO NOT place weatherproof enclosure in manner other than
shown in illustrations.
