Site Selection and Preparation
Site Selection Mow sufficient room on all sides of
the generator for maintenance and servicing. Clearance from the ends and front
of the generator must be 3 ft m (0.91). This includes shrubs. bushes and
trees. Clearance from the back of the generator must be a minimum of 18 n (457
mm). Clearance at the top should be a minimum of 5 ft (1.52 m) from any
structure. overhang or projections from the wall. DO NOT install under wooden
decks or structures unless there are at least 5 ft (1.52 m) of clearance above
the generator.
NOTE: Removable fence panels for servicing cannot be placed less than 457
in (18 in) in front of the generator.
These guidelines are based upon fire testing of the generator enclosure and
the manufacturer’s requirement to be at flow for proper operation. Local codes
may be different and more restrictive than what is described here.
Install the generator set, in its protective enclosure, outdoors. where adequate cooling and ventilating air is always available (Figure 3-1). Consider these factors:
- The installation of the generator must comply strictly with NFPA 37. NFPA 54, NFPA 58, and NFPA 70 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. It 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 codes that are in place in your country or local jurisdiction for minimum distances from other structures.
- Clearance from the ends and front of the generator must be 3 ft (0.91 m). This includes shrubs. bushes and trees. Clearance from the back of the generator must be a minimum of 18 in (457 mm).
