Home Generator System Location

Before installing generator, consult with homeowner and
convey the following guidelines which may affect the
desired location.
Generator Clearances
Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles or
structures causing a fire.
• Keep at least 5 ft. (152 cm) clearance on all sides of generator
including overhead.
Place generator in a well ventilated area, which will allow for
removal of deadly exhaust gas. DO NOT install generator
where exhaust gas could accumulate and enter inside or be
drawn into a potentially occupied building. Ensure exhaust gas
is kept away from any windows, doors, ventilation intakes or
other openings that can allow exhaust gas to collect in a
confined area (Figure 1). Prevailing winds and air currents
should be taken into consideration when positioning generator.
Running generator gives off carbon monoxide,
an odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea,
fainting or death.
• Operate generator ONLY outdoors.
• Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through
windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings.
