Generator
Clearance from operable
windows, doors or any
openings in the wall.
Clearance from the ends and front of the generator
must be 36 in (914 mm). This would include shrubs,
bushes or trees. Clearance at the top should be a
minimum of 60 in (1524 mm) from any structure,
overhang or projections from the wall. The generator
should not be placed under a deck or other structure
that is closed in and would limit or constrain air flow.
NOTE:
Removable fence panels for servicing cannot be
placed less than 18 in (457 mm) in front of the
generator.
These guidelines are based upon fire
testing of the generator enclosure and
the manufacturer’s requirement for air
flow for proper operation. Local codes
may be different and more restrictive
than what is described here.
