Model 100199
INSTALLATION
ponding or water sprinklers will not flood the unit or spray the
enclosure entering any inlet or outlet opens.
Position the unit in an area where prevailing winds will carry
the exhaust gas away from any potentially occupied building or
structure.
Install the unit where leaves, grass, snow, ect., will not obstruct
air inlet and outlet openings. If prevailing winds cause blowing or
drifting, you may consider building a windbreak, planting trees or
shrubs within the guidelines and codes applicable.
Watch out for roof overhangs. Snow, ice or rain shouldn't be
permitted to accumulate on the roof and then cascade onto the
unit.
!
Engine exhaust from the unit is hot
and dangerous. Exhaust must be
allowed to dissipate into a free air
zone as listed in the applicable codes
with no obstructions.
Direct the HSB exhaust away from or parallel to the building or
structure. DO NOT direct the HSB exhaust toward a potentially
occupied building, structure, windows, doors, ventilation intakes,
soffit vents, crawl spaces, open garage doors or other openings
where exhaust gas could accumulate and enter inside or be
drawn into potentially occupied buildings or structures.
Install the unit on higher ground where water levels will not rise
and endanger it. This unit shouldn't be operated in standing
water.
DO NOT place HSB waterproof enclosure under a deck or other
type of structure that may confine or restrict airflow. Operate
HSB only outdoors, where adequate ventilation and air movement
is available. Avoid installations under decks, inside garages or
carports, in basements, along home exterior within 5 feet (1.5m)
of home vent, roof overhang vents, a window that can be opened,
or other such home invasion points. Use the same precautions
when installing HSB at property line, close to a neighbor's home,
or any building or structure that houses animals.

DANGER
DANGER
!
Running engines give off carbon
monoxide, an odorless, colorless,
invisible, poison gas. Breathing
carbon monoxide will cause fatigue,
headache, dizziness, vomiting and
in prolonged conditions, even death.
Carbon monoxide detectors MUST
be installed and maintained indoors
according to the manufacturer's
instructions/recommendations.
Smoke alarms cannot detect carbon
monoxide gas.
The back of the HSB locates the fuel and wire entry points. When
placement/mounting is done this side generally faces the closest
point to each of those sources.
It is always recommended to prepare a drawing showing location
of HSB, typical gas utility approach, circuit connections and full
load connections.
Similar considerations should be given to the location of the ATS
(automatic transfer switch) in relationship to the HSB generator.
The closer to both the fuel meter and the main utility panel
the better. The key point here is, the closer to fuel meter is the
suggested direction to go, wire is cheaper to run and more
flexible.

PREPARATION

Champion recommends using a mixture of pea gravel and
sand or crushed stone for placement of the mounting pad. The
mounting pad MUST be level. The gravel mixture or crushed
stone is to permit water runoff, drainage and reduce ponding of
water around the HSB.
Dig an area 5 inches (12.7 cm) deep that is 6 inches (15.2 cm)
longer and wider than the foot print of the HSB. The HSB is 49
inches long X 28 inches wide (124.5 cm long X 71 cm wide).
Cover the dugout area with a weed barrier or landscape cloth if
desired.
Fill the area with pea gravel and sand mixture or crushed stone.
Final stone level must be 2 or 3 inches higher than the original
ground level to ensure water run-off and drainage.
