General Location Guidelines
• Install the unit outdoors ONLY. NO MODIFICATIONS
WILL ALLOW INSIDE INSTALLATION!
Place the unit in a prepared location that is flat and has
provisions for water drainage.
• Install the unit where air inlet and outlet openings will
not become obstructed by leaves, grass, snow, etc. If
prevailing winds will cause blowing or drifting, you may
need to construct a windbreak to protect the unit.
• In locations where strong winds blow from one
direction, face the generator air inlet openings into the
prevailing winds, if possible.
