"Sound levels are taken from the front at the generator. Sound levels taken from other sides of the generator maybe higher depending on installation parameters. Rating definitions -Standby. Applicable for supplying emergency power for the duration
of the utility power outage. No overload capability is available for this rating. (All ratings in accordance with BS5514, IS03046 and DIN6271). ' Maximum kilovolt amps and current are subject to and limited by such factors as fuel Btu/megaloule

Based on this testing and the requirements of NFPA 37,
Sec 4.4.4; the guidelines for Installation of the generators
listed above are changed to 18 in (467 mm)' from the
back side of the generator to a -stationary wail or. build fng
(C): For adequate: maintenance and. alr,,ow clearance,
the area above the generator should be at least 5 ft (�,�2
m) with a minimum of 3 ft (0.91 m) at the front and ends
Of the enclosure. Th►g includes trees, shrubs, and
bushes. Vegetation not in compliance with these
clearance. parameters could obstruct air flow. In addition; exhaust. from the ,generator. aouid inhibit plant
growth. See ;=d � :r and the Installation drawing.

locate the mounting area as close as possible t
the transfer switch and fuel supply.
° Leave adequate room around the area for service
access (check local code), and place high enougt
to keep rising water from reaching the generator.
° Choose an open space that will provide adequate
and unobstructed alrr"low.
° Place the unit so air. vents won't become clogged
with leaves, grass, snow, or debris. Verify that
exhaust fumes will not enter any building through
eaves, windows; ventilation fans, or other air
