Generator Location Considerations
The installation location of the generator has a direct effect
on:
1.
The amount and size of the plumbing required to fuel the
generator.
2.
The amount and size of the wiring required to control and
connect the generator.
3.
The safety of the installation regarding exhaust gas and
carbon monoxide hazards, fire risks, proximity to other
utilities, and exposure to weather elements.
Specific location guidelines are discussed in the next
section. The owner and installer must consult one another
to determine how the site can affect installation costs and
compliance with local codes and standards.
There are two critical safety concerns to be addressed -
carbon monoxide poisoning and the risk of fire, as follows:
Installation Factors to Consider
The illustrations shown in this manual are for typical
circumstances. They are meant to familiarize you with the
installation options available for the generator.
Federal and local codes, appearance, noise levels, fuel types,
and distances are installation factors that must be considered.
Remember that, as the distance increases from the existing
electrical service and gaseous fuel supply, and the number
of bends in the fuel supply increases, compensations must
be made for piping and wiring materials. This is necessary
to comply with local codes and overcome electrical voltage
drops and gaseous fuel pressure drops.
Product Use
This product is only for use as an optional generator system
which provides an alternate source of electric power
and to serve loads such as heating, refrigeration, and
communication systems that, when stopped during any power
outage, can cause discomfort or inconvenience.
Every effort has been made to make sure that the information
in this manual is accurate and current. However, we reserve
the right to change, alter, or otherwise improve the product
and this document at any time without prior notice.
Only current licensed electrical and plumbing professionals
can attempt generator system installations. Installations must
strictly comply with all applicable codes, industry standards,
laws and regulations.
Reduce the Risk of Carbon Monoxide
Poisoning
In high concentrations, carbon monoxide (CO) can be fatal
in minutes. However, the effects of lower concentrations can
also be lethal. This gas poses serious dangers to humans
and their animals because no one can smell, see, or taste it.
Symptoms of exposure to CO include:
•
Watery, itchy eyes
•
Throbbing temples
•
Inability to think coherently
•
Ringing in the ears
•
Headache
•
Incoherent or slurred speech
•
Flushed appearance
•
Inattentiveness
•
Loss of physical coordination
•
Tightness across the chest
•
Drowsiness
•
Nausea
•
Dizziness
•
Vomiting
•
Fatigue
•
Collapse
•
Convulsions
If you (or someone nearby) suffers from any of the above
symptoms, immediately seek fresh air and call for emergency
medical help for possible carbon monoxide poisoning. If your
carbon monoxide alarm sounds while using this product,
immediately seek fresh air (even if you experience none of
the previously mentioned symptoms).
Carbon Monoxide Detectors
NOTICE: Installing functioning CO alarms indoors is the only
way to recognize CO gas. Common smoke alarms do not
detect CO gas and will not alert occupants of its presence.
A CO detector is an electronic device that detects hazardous
levels of CO. When a buildup of CO occurs, the detector will
alert the occupants by sounding an alarm and by flashing a
visual indicator light.
By law many states require a home to have a functioning
carbon monoxide (CO) detector. You must install and
maintain carbon monoxide detector(s) indoors according to
the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations.
Contact the local building inspection division for any relevant
requirements regarding the use of CO detectors. See
National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code (NFPA) 72 Code and
Section R315 in the International Residential Code (ICC) for
additional details.
Potential Carbon Monoxide Entry Points
Operation Guidelines:
NOTICE: Operate this product only outdoors and in an area
that will not allow this deadly exhaust gas to collect.
Never operate this product inside homes, garages,
basements, crawl spaces, sheds, under a deck, or other
partially enclosed areas and understand that using fans and
opening doors in these areas may not provide adequate
