Generating Set Location - Briggs & Stratton G80 Manual Del Operador

Generating Set Location

The actual physical location of your generating set has
a direct affect on:
1. The amount of plumbing required to fuel
your generating set.
2. The amount of wiring required to control and
connect your generating set.
Specific location guidelines are discussed in the
installation manual. Acquaint yourself with that
information and confer with your installer. Be sure to
ask how your site might affect installation costs and
compliance with local codes and standards.
• Install generating set outdoors in an area that will
not accumulate deadly exhaust gas.
• DO NOT install generating set where exhaust gas
could accumulate and enter inside or be drawn
into a potentially occupied building or structure.
• It may be required to have a Carbon Monoxide
(CO) detector in operating condition in your
home. Carbon monoxide detector(s) (A) MUST
be installed and maintained indoors according to
the manufacturer's instructions/recommendations.
A CO monitor is an electronic device that detects
hazardous levels of CO. When there is a buildup
of CO, the monitor will alert the occupants by
flashing visual indicator light and alarm. Smoke
alarms cannot detect CO gas.

WARNING Running engine gives off carbon
monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide could result in
death, serious injury, headache, fatigue,
dizziness, vomiting, confusion, seizures,
nausea or fainting.
• Operate this product ONLY outdoors in an area that
will not accumulate deadly exhaust gas.
• Keep exhaust gas away from any windows, doors,
ventilation intakes, soffit vents, crawl spaces, open
garage doors or other openings that can allow
exhaust gas to enter inside or be drawn into a
potentially occupied building or structure.
• Carbon monoxide detector(s) MUST be installed
and maintained indoors according to the
manufacturer's instructions/recommendations.
Smoke alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
WARNING Exhaust heat/gases could ignite
combustibles or structures resulting in death
or serious injury.
• Exhaust outlet side of weatherproof enclosure must
have at least 1.5 m minimum clearance from any
structure, shrubs, trees, or any kind of vegetation.
• Weatherproof enclosure must be at least 1.5 m
from windows, doors, any wall opening, shrubs or
vegetation over 30.5 cm in height.
• Weatherproof enclosure must have a minimum
of 1.5 m overhead clearance from any structure,
overhang or trees.
• DO NOT place weatherproof enclosure under a
deck or other type of structure that may confine
airflow.
• USE ONLY flexible fuel line provided. Connect
provided fuel line to generating set. DO NOT use
with or substitute any other flexible fuel line.
• Smoke detector(s) MUST be installed and
maintained indoors according to the manufacturer's
instructions/recommendations. Carbon monoxide
alarms cannot detect smoke.
• DO NOT place weatherproof enclosure in manner
other than shown in illustrations.
• Ensure exhaust gas is kept away from any
windows, doors, ventilation intakes, soffit vents,
crawl spaces, open garage doors or other
openings that can allow exhaust gas to enter
inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied
building or structure. Your neighbor's may
be exposed to the engine exhaust from your
generating set and must be considered when
installing the unit.
• Wind and air currents should be taken into
consideration when positioning the unit.
See the installation manual for full details on safe
generating set location.
