Standby Generator - Briggs & Stratton 21114 Série Manuel D'installation Et D'opération

All fossil fuel burning products, such as standby
generators, emit carbon monoxide (CO) gas in the engine
exhaust. CO gas is odorless, colorless and tasteless
and is unlikely to be noticed until a person is overcome.
CO gas can kill you. It is required that the following be
included as part of the installation:
• Install the generator outdoors in an area that will not
accumulate deadly exhaust gas.
• DO NOT install the generator where exhaust gas
could accumulate and enter inside or be drawn into
a potentially occupied building or structure.
• Nearby structures may be exposed to the engine
exhaust from the unit and must be considered
when installing the standby generator.
• Wind and air currents should be taken into
consideration when positioning the generator.
Place the generator in an area where winds will
carry the exhaust gas away from any potentially
occupied building or structure.
• DO NOT place the standby generator in any area
where leaves or debris normally accumulate.

• Direct the standby generator exhaust (A, shown
below) away from or parallel to the building or
structure. DO NOT direct the generator exhaust
towards 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 a potentially occupied
building or structure.

The engine exhaust exits the top of the housing (A).
• By law, many states require a fully operating
Carbon Monoxide (CO) detector in homes
and other structures occupied by people.
Carbon monoxide detectors MUST be
installed and maintained indoors according
to the manufacturer's instructions and
recommendations. A carbon monoxide detector
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
a visual indicator light and sounding an alarm.
Smoke alarms cannot detect CO gas.
