• Place the standby generator in a prepared location that is
flat and has provisions for water drainage.
• Install the standby generator in a location where sump
pump discharge, rain gutter down spouts, roof run-off,
landscape irrigation, or water sprinklers will not flood the
unit or spray the enclosure and enter any air inlet or outlet
openings.
• Install the standby generator where it will not affect or
obstruct any services (including covered, concealed and
underground), such as telephone, electric, fuel (natural
gas / LPG vapor), irrigation, air conditioning, cable, septic,
sewer, well and so forth.

etc will not obstruct air inlet and outlet openings. If
prevailing winds will cause blowing or drifting, you may
need to construct a windbreak to protect the unit.
