All fossil fuel burning equipment, such as generators, contain

carbon monoxide (CO) gas in the engine exhaust. CO gas is

odorless, colorless, tasteless, and is unlikely to be noticed

until a person is overcome with carbon monoxide poisoning.

Breathing in CO gas can result in death. The following

requirements must be included as part of the generator

installation:

• Install generator outdoors in an area that will not

accumulate deadly exhaust gas.

• DO NOT install generator where exhaust gas could

accumulate and enter inside or be drawn into a

potentially occupied building or structure.

• Manufacturer requires a carbon monoxide detector(s)

in the home. Carbon monoxide detector(s) MUST

be installed and maintained indoors according to

manufacturer’s instructions/recommendations. A CO

detector is an electrical device that detects hazardous

levels of CO. When there is buildup of CO, the device

will alert the occupants by ashing visual indicator light

and alarm. Smoke alarms cannot detect CO gas. The

CO detector must comply with European Standard EN

50291 and carry the CE mark. The CE mark certies that

the CO detector is compliant with European Standards

for electrical safety.

• The neighbor’s home may be exposed to the

engine exhaust from the generator and must be

considered when installing the generator.

• Direct the generator exhaust away from or parallel to the

building or structure.

• DO NOT direct the generator exhaust towards a

potentially occupied building, structure, window, doors,

ventilation intakes, sot vents, crawl spaces, open

garage doors or other openings where exhaust gas

could accumulate and enter inside or be drawn into

potentially occupied building or structure.

• DO NOT place generator in any area where leaves or

debris normally accumulate.

• Position generator in an area where winds will carry the

exhaust gas away from any potentially occupied building

or structure.

• Place generator in a prepared location that is at and

has provisions for water drainage.

• Install the generator in a location where sump pump

discharge, rain gutter downspouts, roof run-o,

landscape irrigation, or water sprinklers will not ood the

generator or spray the enclosure and enter any air inlet

or outlet openings.

• Install the generator where it will not aect or obstruct

any services including covered, concealed and

underground, such as telephone, electric, fuel, irrigation,

air conditioning, cable, septic, sewer, well, etc.

• Install the generator where leaves, grass, snow, etc.

will not obstruct air inlet or outlet openings. If prevailing

winds will cause blowing or drifting, you may need to

construct a windbreak to protect the generator.
