1 Portable Generator Placement
Generator should be placed as far away from
house as power cord will allow. It is understood
that the cord should not be pulled tight and it
will lay along the ground between the external
connection box and generator panel.
FIGURE A
1. PLAN THE LOCATION OF YOUR GENERATOR
(Fig. A) shows the GUARDIAN Ultra Source 17,5000
watt portable generator placed outside the home and
connected to the weather protective external box. The
ground rod and ground strap show a suggested
location only. When fully installed the ground rod will
not protrude above ground level. NOTE: Do not place
the generator directly under a window.
Select an area outside of your home about 10 feet away
where you can easily transport the portable generator
to and from. Keep in mind that the generator must have
free air flow for proper operation and to ensure there is
no possibility for exhaust gases to build up.
2. Drive an 8-foot grounding rod into the ground to grade
(so that no part is exposed above ground).

drill a small pilot hole through the wall to mark the
location.
