WARNING
Generator set operation. Carbon monoxide can cause
severe nausea, fainting, or death. Carbon monoxide is an
odorless, colorless, tasteless, nonirritating gas that can cause
death if inhaled for even a short time. Avoid breathing exhaust
fumes when working on or near the generator set. Never
operate the generator set inside a building. Never operate the
generator set where exhaust gas could seep inside or be
drawn into a potentially occupied building through windows, air
intake vents, or other openings.
Carbon monoxide detectors. Carbon monoxide can
cause severe nausea, fainting, or death. Install carbon
monoxide detectors on each level of any building adjacent to
the generator set. Locate the detectors to adequately warn the
building’s occupants of the presence of carbon monoxide.
Keep the detectors operational at all times. Periodically test
and replace the carbon monoxide detectors according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Have the generator set installed by an authorized Kohler
distributor/dealer or authorized representative. Install
the equipment in compliance with the National Electrical
Code (NEC) and local codes. For Canadian
installations, refer to the Canadian Electrical Code
(CEC).
The generator set must be installed outdoors. The
exhaust systems on enclosed units are designed for
outdoor installation only.
Note: DO NOT install these generator sets inside a
building.
Note: Install carbon monoxide (CO) detector(s) on
each level of any building adjacent to a generator
set. Locate the detectors to adequately warn the
building’s occupants of the presence of carbon
monoxide.
Obtain a building permit and contact your local utility
companies to mark the locations of underground pipes
and cables.
