1. PLAN THE LOCATION OF THE GENERATOR.
NOTE:
Do not place the generator directly under a window.
Select an area outside of the home or business nearest
the incoming gas service. Determine where the genera-
tor will be placed outside of the building. Arrange for fuel
piping with shut-off valve to be run to this location. Keep
in mind that the manufacturer recommends placement
no closer than 18 inches to any structure. Local codes
may dictate placement farther from a structure. If
facing the unit from the front, the generator's fuel inlet is
located at the rear lower right of the unit.
2. Clear an area 62 inches by 50 inches of grass and veg-
etation to a depth of five inches. This includes the dis-
tance the generator should be set away from a structure
(18 inches) and six inches beyond the width and length
of the generator mounting pad (49" L x 25" W).
3. Lay black poly-film to cover the area.
4. Fill the area to ground level with pea gravel or crushed
stone.
5. Drive an eight foot grounding rod into the ground to
grade. Make sure grounding rod and strap are not
exposed above ground level. (NEC code applies to
grounding method.)
6. Determine where the flexible conduit will pass through
the building from inside to outside. When certain there
is clearance on each side of the wall, drill a small pilot
hole through the wall to mark the location. Drill a 1-3/4”
diameter hole through the sheathing and siding with hole
saw.
7. While adhering to all local electrical codes, route the 30
foot conduit along ceiling/floor joists and wall studs to
the location where the conduit will pass through the wall
to the exterior of the building.
