Generator Location
WARNING
NEVER operate the generator inside any building, garage, 
basement, crawlspace, shed, or enclosure, including the 
generator compartment of a recreational vehicle.
NEVER operate or start the generator in the back of an SUV, 
camper, trailer, truck bed (regular sides, at or other 
conguration), under staircases, stairwells, next to walls or 
buildings, or any other location that could limit airow or trap 
exhaust.
DO NOT operate or store the generator in wet weather conditions 
such as rain or snow. Using a generator in wet conditions could 
result in serious injury or death due to electrocution.
Generators must have a minimum of 5 feet (1.5 m) of clearance 
from all combustible material.
Generators must also have a minimum of 5 feet (1.5 m) of 
airow clearance on all sides to allow for adequate cooling, 
maintenance, and service.
Always place the generator in a well-ventilated area.  NEVER 
place the generator near air intake vents or where exhaust 
fumes could be drawn into occupied or conned spaces.
Always carefully consider wind and air currents when positioning 
the generator.
Always allow generators to properly cool before transport or for 
storage purposes.
Failure to follow proper safety precautions may result in 
personal injury, damage to the generator, and void your warranty.
