GENERAL HAZARDS
• For safety reasons,the manufacturer recommends that this equip-
ment be installed, serviced and repaired by a Service Dealer or
other competent, qualified electrician or installation technician who
is familiar with applicable codes, standards and regulations. The
operator also must comply with all such codes, standards and
regulations.
• The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which
can be DEADLY. This dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient
r concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or even death.

Figure 1.9—Generator Clearances the generator and to determine the ignitability of items outside the
engine enclosure at various distances.The enclosure is construct-
ed of non-combustible materials and the results and conclusions
from the independent testing lab indicated that any fire within the
generator enclosure would not pose any ignition risk to nearby
combustibles or structures, with or without fire service personnel
response.
h Based on this testing and the requirements of NFPA 37,Sec 4.1.4,
the guidelines for installation of the generators listed above are
changed to 18 inches (457mm)from the back side of the genera-
tor to a stationary wall or building. For adequate maintenance and
airflow clearance, the area above the generator should be at least
4 feet with a minimum of 3 feet at the front and ends of the enclo-
sure. This would include trees, shrubs and vegetation that could
obstruct airflow. See the diagram on the reverse of this page and
the installation drawing within the owner's manual for details.
Generator exhaust contains DEADLY carbon monoxide gas. This
dangerous gas can cause unconsciousness or death. Do not place
the unit near windows, doors, fresh air intakes (furnaces, etc.) or
any openings in the building or structure, including windows and
doors of an attached garage.
