1.10.1 GENERATOR
The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide, which can be DEADLY. This dan-
gerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concen-
trations, can cause unconsciousness or even
death. This exhaust system must be installed
properly, in strict compliance with applicable
codes and standards. Following installation,
do nothing that might render the system
unsafe or in noncompliance with such codes
and standards.
• Operate the generator outdoors ONLY.
• Keep exhaust gases from entering a confined
area through windows, doors, ventilation or
other openings (Figure 1.9).
Install the generator set, in its protective enclosure, outdoors,
where adequate cooling and ventilating air is always available
(Figure 1.9). Consider these factors:
• The installation of the generator
NFPA 37, NFPA 54, NFPA 58, and NFPA 70 standards (http://
www.nfpa.org/).
• Install the unit where air inlet and outlet openings will not
become obstructed by leaves, grass, snow, etc.. If prevailing
winds will cause blowing or drifting, consider using a wind-
break to protect the unit.
• Install the generator on high ground where water levels will not
rise and endanger it.
• Allow sufficient room on all sides of the generator for mainte-
nance and servicing. This unit must be installed in accordance
with current applicable NFPA 37 and NFPA 70 standards; as
well as any other federal, state and local codes for minimum
distances from other structures. DO NOT install under wooden
decks or structures.
• Install the unit where rain gutter down spouts, roof run-off,
landscape irrigation, water sprinklers or sump pump discharge
does not flood the unit or spray the enclosure, including any air
inlet or outlet openings.
