Site Selection and Preparation
Section 3
3.1 SITE SELECTION
These guidelines are based upon fire
testing of the generator enclosure and
the manufacturer's requirement for air
flow for proper operation. Local codes
may be different and more restrictive
than what is described here.
NOTE:
The generator can be placed
under decks or structures as
long as all clearances are met
and local building codes are
followed.

tions from the wall. The generator should not
be placed under a deck or other structure that
is closed in and would limit or constrain air
flow.
