Of the
listed above are changed to 16 in (457 he from the
back side of the generator to a stationary M or building
(C). For adequate maintenance and airflow clearance,
the area above the generator should be at least t ft (1.52
M) with a minimum of 3 ft (0.91 m) at the front and ends
of the enclosure. This includes trees, shrubs, and
shes. Vegetation not in compliance with
these

Site Selection and Preparation
Site Preparation
° Locate the mounting area as close as possible the transfer switch and fuel supply,
° Leave adequate room around the area for servic
access (check local code), and plane high enoug
to keep rising water from reaching the generator.
° Choose an open space that will provide adequat(
and unobstructed airflow.
Place "the unit so air vents wont 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
