Where to Place Your Generator
- Never indoors or in enclosed spaces (carbon monoxide danger)
- Minimum 20 feet from windows, doors, and vents
- Level, dry surface with adequate ventilation
- Protection from weather (canopy or generator tent)
Electrical Safety
- Use a transfer switch (manual or automatic) to prevent backfeeding
- Proper grounding to prevent electrical shock
- Use heavy-duty, outdoor-rated extension cords if not hardwired
Fuel Storage and Handling
- Store fuel in approved containers away from living spaces
- Fuel stabilizer for long-term storage (gas degrades in 3-6 months)
- Diesel and propane have longer shelf lives
Carbon Monoxide Awareness
- Generators produce deadly CO gas—never run indoors, in garages, or near windows
- Install CO detectors in your home
- Symptoms of CO poisoning and emergency response
