° The Installation of the generator must comply
strictly with ICC IFGC, NFPA 37, NFPA 54, NFPA
68, and NFPA 7o standards.
install the unit where air inlet and outlet openings
will not become obstructed by leaves, grass, snow,
etc. if prevailing winds will cause blowing or
drifting, consider using a windbreak to protect the
unit.
° Install the generator on high ground where water
levels will not rise and endanger it. This unit should
not operate In or be subjected to standing water.
° Allow sufficient room on all sides of the generator
for maintenance and servicing. This unit must be
Installed In accordance with any local, state, or
national codes for minimum distances from other
structures.
U Clearance from the ends and front of the generator
must be 3 ft (4.91 m). This Includes shrubs,
bushes, and trees. Clearance from the back of the
generator must be a minimum of 1S In (457 mm).
Clearance at the top should be a minimum of 5 ft
(1.52 m) from any structure, overhang, or

° DO NOT install under wooden decks or structures
unless there Is at least 5 ft (1.52 m) of clearance
above the generator,
Install the unit where rain gutter down spouts, roof
run-off, landscape irrigation, water sprinklers, or
SUMP pump discharge does not flood the unit or
spray the enclosure, Including any air inlet or outlet
openings.
' Install the unit where services will not be affected
or obstructed, Including concealed, underground,
or covered services such as electrical, fuel, phone,
air conditioning, or Irrigation. This could affect
warranty coverage.
Where strong prevailing winds blow from one
direction, face the generator air inlet openings to
the prevailing winds.
Install the generator as close as possible to the fuel
supply to reduce the length of piping. REMEMBER
THAT LAWS OR DISTANCE AND LOCATION IS MAY n EGULATE N
he absence of
local codes regarding placement or clearance, we
recommend following these guidelines:
install the generator as close as possible to the
transfer switch. REMEMBER THAT LAWS OR It
CODES MAY REGULATE THE DiSTANCE AND
LOCATION.
— The generator must be installed on a level sur-
face. The generator must be level within a 0.5 In
(13 mm) all around.
— The generator is typically placed on pea gravel,
compacted soil, crushed stone, or a concrete
Pad. Check local codes to see what type Is
required. if a concrete pad is required, all appli-
cable codes should be followed.
Installation Guidelines for Stationary Air -Cooled
Generators
NFPA 37 is the The National Fire Protection
Association's standard for the installation and use of
stationary combustion engines. Its requirements limit the
spacing of an enclosed generator set from a structure or
wall
NFPA 37, Section 4.1.4, Engines Located Outdoors:
Engines, and their weatherproof housings if provided,
that are installed outdoors shall be located at least 5 ft
(1.52 m) ;rom openings In walls and at least 6 ft (1.62 m)
from structures having combustible walls. A minimum
separation shall not be required where the following
conditions exist:
1. The adjacent wall of the structure has afire
resistance rating of at least one hour.
2. The weatherproof enclosure Is constructed of
noncombustible materials and It has been
demonstrated that a fire within the enclosure will
not Ignite combustible materials outside the
enclosure.
Annex A --- Explanatory Material
A4.1.4 (2) Means of demonstrating compliance are by
means of full $cale firs test or by calculation procedures.
Because of the limited spaces that are frequently
available for installation, it has become apparent that
exception (2) would be beneficial for many residential
and commercial Installations. With that in mind, the
manufacturer contracted with an Independent testing
laboratory to run full scale Hire tests to assure that the
enclosure will not ignite combustible materials outside
the enclosure.
NOTE: Southwest Research Institute testing approves
.7 in (487 mrn) Installation minimum from structure
i ''=� C). Southwest Research Institute is a
nationally recognized third party testing and listing
agency.
The Grlteria was to determine the worst case fire scenario
within the generator and to determine the Ignitabllity of
ems outside the engine enclosure at various distances.
The enclosure is constructed of nan-combustible
materials, and the results and conclusions from the
-independent testing tab indicated that any fire within the
installation Guidelines For so HzAlr.Cooled Generators
generator enclosure would not pose any ignition risk to
nearby combustibles or structures, with or without fire
service personnel response.

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 In (457 mm) from the
backside of the generator to a stationary wall or building
(C). For adequate maintenance and airflow clearance,
the area above the generator should be at least 5 ft (1.62
m) with a minimum of 3 ft (0.91 m) at the front and ends
of the enclosure, This Includes trees, shrubs, and
bushes. Vegetation not In compliance with these

NOTE: If the generator is not set to OFF, it can crank and
start as soon as the battery cables are connected. If the
Utility power supply Is not turned off, sparking can occur
at the battery posts and cause an explosion.
Site Selection and Preparation
81te Preparation
° Locate the mounting area as close as possible t
the transfer switch and fuel supply.
Leave adequate room around the area for servlo
