Site selection is critical for safe generator operation. It is
important to discuss these factors with the installer wheny+

• Fire prevention gas. Carbon monoxide, if not avoided,will
result in death or serious injury.
• Fresh�air for ventilation and cooling (000103)
• Water ingress prevention IMPORTANT NOTE: Move to fresh 'air immediately
• Proximity to utilities and seek medical attention if you feel sick, dizzy, or
• Suitable mounting surface weak while the generator,is running or after it stops.
The following pages describe each of these factors in Generator exhaust contains _carbon monoxide (CO)---a

sented in this section apply to all structures regardless of
type. Carbon Monoxide Detectors
See Figure 3-1. CO detectors (K) must be installed and
used to monitor for CO and to warn individuals about the
presence of CO. CO detectors must be installed and
tested in accordance with the CO detector manufac-
turer's instructions and Wamings. Contact local building
inspection department;for any applicable requirements
concerning CO detectors. See NFPA 72, National Fire
Alarm and Signaling Code, and Section,R315 in the ICC
International Residential Code for more information.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Common smoke alarms do NOT
detect CO gas. Do not rely on smoke alarms to pro-
tect residents or animals from CO. The only way to
detect CO is to have functioning CO alarms.
