Installation / Initial Set-Up
20

Never run the generator inside any closed or semi-enclosed spaces (even if
outdoors), including homes, garages, basements, sheds, or boxes.
These
spaces can trap poisonous gases, even if you run a fan or open windows.

Never place the generator immediately adjacent to a building or other
structure – allow at least 20 feet clearance.

Place the generator so that the exhaust fumes will not be directed towards
people or building air intakes.

Ensure that working, battery-operated or battery back-up carbon monoxide
alarms are used in any dwelling/structure that is in close proximity to the
running generator.

Note that this generator is NOT designed or approved for use in vehicles
or marine applications. Never run the generator inside RVs or other
vehicles, on boats, or on pick-up truck beds.
WARNING:
Never attempt to attach ductwork to the muffler system to allow for
installation inside an enclosure. This could cause hot air deflection,
heat build-up, and increased exhaust backpressure, resulting in
possible exhaust leakage or damage to the generator.
Adequate cooling
ventilation The generator needs adequate, unobstructed flow of air to allow for
proper cooling of engine and generator head.
WARNING:
Heat build-up from inadequate ventilation can result in fire,
posing a serious risk to nearby persons and structures.

Situate so there is adequate clearance around generator to allow for
cooling airflow so that heat does not build up.

Never place the generator immediately adjacent to large objects or
structures – allow at least a 7 foot clearance.

Do not run the generator in close proximity to other heat-generating
equipment, such as another generator. The combined heat that is
generated may raise air temperature in the immediate area and there will
not be adequate cooling ventilation.

Do not allow debris to accumulate and block airflow.

Do not operate with a tarp, blanket, or cover surrounding the generator.
No wet conditions Choose a location where the generator will NOT be exposed to rain,
snow, or direct sunlight. Exposure to water can cause electric shock.
You may operate the generator under an outdoor, canopy-like structure of
heat-resistant material that is open on all sides. Make sure that all parts of
canopy are at least 7 feet from exhaust, and allow for adequate clearance
above generator so that heat does not build up.
Hot exhaust
clearance The exhaust gas from your generator is extremely hot and can cause
combustible materials to catch on fire.
