Move Generator to Safe Operating
Location
1. Move generator outdoors to a flat, level
surface, in an area that will not accumulate
deadly exhaust gas. DO NOT place
generator where exhaust gas could
accumulate and enter inside or be drawn
into a potentially occupied building. Ensure
exhaust gas is kept away from any windows,
doors, ventilation intakes, or other openings
that can allow exhaust gas to collect in a
confined area. Prevailing winds and air
currents should be taken into consideration
when positioning generator.

2. To reduce the risk of exhaust heat or
exhaust gases igniting nearby combustible
material, keep at least 5 ft (1.5 m) clearance
on all sides of generator, including overhead.
