FIGURE 3. GENERATOR SET LOCATION
Generator set location is critical for safety and performance. Follow the guidelines
below:
• Must comply with applicable codes (NFPA, NEC, IBC, etc.).
• Install outdoors only. For other applications, contact your local Cummins dealer
or reference the Application Manual at the following link:
http://www.cumminspower.com/www/literature/applicationmanuals/t030.pdf
• Consider access to utilities (electric/gas meters, transfer switch, remote fuel
tank location, etc.).
• Call the local utilities to mark the locations of buried utility services (gas,
electric, or telephone) before digging.
• Verify the locations of any other buried components (gas, electric or telephone)
with the homeowner before digging.
Clearances:
• The exhaust side of the generator set must be located 5 feet from combustible
materials (NFPA 37).
• The exhaust side of the generator must be located 5 feet from any opening in a
wall (window, door, vent, etc.).
• The generator must be located such that the exhaust is not able to accumulate
in an occupied area.
• The generator must have enough room for installation, service, and
maintenance.
• The generator must be located to ensure ventilation openings are not blocked.
