that are installed outdoors shall be located at least 5 ft
(1.52 m) from openings in walls and at least 5 ft (1.52 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 a fire resis-
tance rating of at least 1 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 scale fire 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 fire tests to assure that the
enclosure will not ignite combustible materials outside
the enclosure.
NOTE: Southwest Research Institute testing
approves 18 in (457 mm) installation minimum from
structure. Southwest Research is a nationally
recognized third party testing and listing agency.
The criteria was to determine the worst case fire scenario
within the generator and to determine the ignitability of
items outside the engine enclosure at various distances.
The enclosure is constructed 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.

the generator, next to the generators data decal.

Site Selection and Preparation
Installation Guidelines For 50 Hz Air-Cooled Generators 13
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
back side of the generator to a stationary wall or building.
For adequate maintenance and airflow clearance, the
area above the generator should be at least 5 ft (1.52 m)
with a minimum of 3 ft (0.91 m) at the front and ends of
the enclosure. This would include trees, shrubs and
bushes. Vegetation not in compliance with these
clearance parameters could obstruct air flow. In addition,
exhaust fumes from the generator could inhibit plant
growth. See Figure 3-1 and the installation drawing
within the Owners Manual for details.
If the generator is not set to the OFF mode, 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 Preparation
Locate the mounting area as close as possible to
the transfer switch and fuel supply.
Leave adequate room around the area for service
access (check local code), and place high enough
to keep rising water from reaching the generator.
Choose an open space that will provide adequate
and unobstructed airflow.
Place the unit so air vents won’t become clogged
with leaves, grass, snow or debris. Make sure
exhaust fumes will not enter the building through
eaves, windows, ventilation fans or other air
intakes (see Site Selection ).
Select the type of base, such as but not limited to
gravel or concrete, as desired or as required by
local laws or codes. Verify your local requirements
before selecting.
Material Sufficient for Level Installation
Dig a rectangular area approximately 5 in (127
mm) deep [A] and about 6 in (152 mm) longer and
wider [B] than the footprint of the generator. Fill
with 4 in (102 mm) of pea gravel [C], crushed stone
or any other non-combustible material sufficient for
level installation. Compact and level the material. A
concrete pad can be poured if desired or required.
The pad should be 4-5 in (102-127 mm) thick and
extend 6 in (152 mm) beyond the outside of the
generator in all directions.
Figure 3-3. Compacted Gravel Pad
NOTE: If a concrete pad is required, follow all applicable
Federal, State or local codes.
Figure 3-4. Poured or Pre-formed
Concrete Pad
Transportation Recommendations
Use a two wheeled hand cart or metal rails to carry the
generator (including the wooden pallet) to the installation
site. Place cardboard between the hand cart and the
generator to prevent any damage or scratches to the
generator.
Automatic start-up. Disconnect utility power and
render unit inoperable before working on unit.
Failure to do so will result in death or serious injury.
(000191)
DANGER
Asphyxiation. Running engines produce
carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless,
poisonous gas. Carbon monoxide, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

Section 4: Generator Placement
Generator Placement
With the Site Selection and Preparation performed,
proceed with placement and installation of the generator.
All air-cooled generators come with a composite pad.
The composite pad elevates the generator and helps
prevent water from pooling around the bottom of the
generator (Figure 4-1). The generator and composite
pad can be placed on 4 in (102 mm) of pea gravel that is
compacted or on a concrete pad. Check local codes to
see what type of site base is required. If a concrete pad is
required, all federal, state and local codes should be
followed. Place the generator on its mounting pad and
position correctly as per the dimensional information
given in Site Preparation.
NOTE: Generator must be level within 0.5 in (13 mm).
NOTE: If the composite pad is removed for concrete
mounting, the fascia kit will not fit.
Figure 4-1. Composite Pad
When mounting the generator to concrete, there are four
mounting holes available for securing the generator, if
codes require (two holes inside the front of the generator
compartment and two holes in the back). See Figure 4-2.
NOTE: The top of the generator carton has a
template that can be used to mark the concrete pad
to pre-drill the mounting holes.
Figure 4-2. Mounting Hole Location
Fascia Installation (If Applicable)
Locate the four (4) threaded black rubber bumpers
located in the Owner’s Manual bag.
Remove the four (4) bumpers from the bag and
screw them into threaded holes located inside the
end pieces of the fascia (two each) opposite one
another (A).
Once the bumpers are installed, snap one of the
end pieces into one of the front / rear pieces of
fascia. Repeat this action with the other two
remaining pieces of fascia.
NOTE: Do not assemble all four pieces together at
this point (B).
Place both assemblies at the base of the generator
and fit the rubber bumpers into the lifting holes in
the generator base (C).
Once aligned, snap together the two remaining
connection points.
