Always refer to your model's installation manual (HSB) or Owner's Manual (Portable) for information on correct placement of your unit. The owner's manual can be found on the product lookup page on Generac.com. Always refer to your unit’s Installation Manual for recommendations on locating the unit. Compliance with generator placement regulations may differ depending on your location. For precise guidance, please refer to local electrical and health codes.
