Positioning:
1. The generator should be positioned on a firm, level (less than 3 degree slope),
heat-resistant surface with good drainage and a nearby water supply.
2. Ensure that the generator sits level and will not slide or shift during operation. If
applicable, block the generator’s wheels to prevent movement.
3. Situate the unit so there is adequate pulling room for starting the engine using the
recoil starter of the engine. Attempting to pull at an odd angle or in confined space
could rip off the cord grip and/or cause muscular injuries to the operator.
Airflow:
1. Situate the unit so there is adequate clearance around the generator to allow for
proper airflow – at least 7 feet from any non-combustible wall or obstruction.
2. Do not operate with a tarp, blanket, or cover surrounding the generator.
3. Do not place any objects against or on top of the machine.
4. The generator needs adequate, unobstructed airflow to allow for proper
combustion and adequate cooling. Proper combustion can only be obtained when
there is a sufficient supply of oxygen available for the amount of fuel being burned.
Cooling ventilation is required to prevent overheating of the engine and pressure
pump and/or the possibility of fire.
5. Situate the machine away from other heat generating equipment and do not allow
debris to accumulate or block airflow to the engine or alternator.
Exhaust:
1. Place the unit so that the exhaust fumes will not be directed towards people or
building air intakes.
2. Keep a fire extinguisher rated “ABC” nearby which is properly charged. Be familiar
with its use.
3. The exhaust gas from your generator is extremely hot and can cause combustible
materials to catch on fire.
4. Make sure the engine is at least 7 feet from all combustible materials and
buildings/structures during operation.
Install Spark Arrestor (if Required)
Equip engine with spark arrestor if machine will be used near any ignitable forest,
brush, or grassy land. (See engine Owner’s Manual provided to determine if the
engine is already equipped.) Make sure you comply with applicable local, state, and
federal codes.
WARNING:
Exhaust Modification Hazard
Never attempt to attach ductwork to the muffler system to allow for installation inside
an enclosure. This could cause heat build-up and increased exhaust back-pressure,
resulting in possible exhaust leakage or damage to the Generator.
