Generator Placement

Installation Factors to Consider

The illustrations shown in this manual depict typical
circumstances. They are meant to familiarize you with the
installation options available for the generator.
Always consider installation factors such as federal and
local codes, appearance, noise levels, fuel types, and
distances. As the distance increases from the existing
electrical service and gaseous fuel supply, and the
number of bends in the fuel supply increases, installers
must make compensations for piping and wiring
materials. These compensations are necessary to comply
with local codes and overcome drops in electrical voltage
and drops in gaseous fuel pressure.

Delivery Inspection

Avoid damage from dropping, bumping, or colliding with
the shipping carton.
After removing the carton, carefully inspect the generator
for any damage that may have occurred during shipment.
If an owner discovers loss or damage at the time of
delivery, the owner should ask the person(s) making the
delivery to document the loss or damage on the freight
bill and affix a signature under the consignor's memo
of loss or damage. If the owner notices loss or damage
after delivery, separate the damaged materials and then
contact the carrier for claim procedures. Missing or
damaged parts are not warranted.

GENERATOR PLACEMENT
Before installing the generator, consult with the
homeowner and convey the following requirements,
which must be satisfied before the installation is
complete. Two equally important safety concerns include
carbon monoxide poisoning and fire. An installer must
also meet several general location guidelines before
completing the installation.
WARNING
carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that could result in
death or serious injury. People and animals cannot
smell it, see it, or taste it. Even if you do not smell
exhaust fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon
monoxide gas.
• Operate this product ONLY outdoors in an area that
does not accumulate deadly exhaust gas.
• Direct exhaust gas away from any windows, doors,
ventilation intakes, soffit vents, crawl spaces, open
garage doors, or other openings that can allow
exhaust gas to enter inside or be drawn into a
potentially occupied building or structure.
• Carbon monoxide detector(s) MUST be installed
and maintained indoors according to the
manufacturer's instructions and recommendations.
Smoke alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
• If you start to feel sick, dizzy, weak, or the carbon
monoxide alarm sounds while using this product,
get to fresh air right away. Call emergency services.
You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
