See the dimension drawings on the following pages for
the generator set dimensions and fuel and electric inlet
locations.
The drawing dimensions are shown in
millimeters, with inches in brackets.
Install the generator set outdoors. Provide the minimum
clearance around the generator set shown in the
clearance drawings on the following pages. Locate the
generator set so that the hot exhaust does not blow on
plants or other combustible materials. Do not install the
generator set where exhaust gas could accumulate and
seep inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied
building.
The generator set is shipped on a plastic mounting pad.
Prepare a flat, level mounting area covered with a weed
barrier and gravel as shown in the generator set
clearance drawing. Set the plastic mounting pad directly
on the gravel. Do not install the mounting pad directly on
grass.
