Site Selection and Preparation

Transportation Recommendations

Use a suitable cart or equipment to carry the generator,
including the wooden pallet, to the installation site. Place
cardboard between the hand cart and the generator to
prevent any damage or scratches to the generator.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not lift, carry, or move the
generator by grasping the louvers. Doing so may bend or
damage the sheet metal.
Placement on Roofs, Platforms,
and Other Supporting Structures
Where required to place the generator on a roof,
platform, or other supporting structure, like a deck, the
generator shall be placed in accordance with the
requirements in NFPA 37, Section 4.1.3. The generator
can be located 18 in (45.7 cm) from structures having
combustible walls and 5 ft (1.52 m) from any operable
opening in the structure. The surface beneath the
generator and beyond shall be noncombustible to a
minimum distance of 12 in (30.5 cm). Consult with the
local Building Inspection Department or Fire Department
to determine which noncombustible materials are
approved for installation.
