Are there any provisions for exhaust extension? I want to locate the generator in a tool shed.

This unit CAN NOT be located inside any building for many reasons. One being the exhaust and two being that the unit needs 'free' air to cool itself during run. Also any modification to the exhaust on this unit, including extension would fully void the warranty.

well it looks like they answered your question. my opinion is i would think if built a large enough enclosureand then made a exhaust large enough that was mounted to the enclosure so that it wasn't connected to the generator with no bends just straight and over sized. it would work but that is just me.

You can change the male end plug to a twist lock or build a "pig tail" with a female receiver for the male plug on the welding machine and male twist lock on the opposite end for your generator plug in. Use 10 guage wire, minimum. Good luck!

I called a dealer and there is not an extension available. The saw is an attchment as would a weed whip etc. would be. I must say though, the saw works fantastic as long as you let it cut without putting to much pressure on larger branches and power it out. Small branches it flies right through. Well worth the money!!!

I do not see any adaption stock on this generator... possibly aftermarket.... like Yamaha..... but I don't think so......

Really should have hit the "I don't know" button. I would assume that functionality would be dependent on what other demands are made on the generator at the same time. Asking a Generac engineer might be a better course of action. You may encounter situations similar to folks who vacation in RVs deal with where you need to turn off certain things to allow for running others. Hope I've helped

Mine install was also in the basement and allowed for a 2" air intake and a 2" exhaust out the side of the house. The manual provides for other options including roof vent.

I purchased a heavy-duty extension cord from US Wire (found on Amazon easily) US Wire 65050 12/3 50-Foot SJTW Orange Heavy Duty Extension Cord. The cables are high quality, durable, and made in the USA. You can go even heavier duty if you want, but I've had no issues with that wire. As others have noted, definitely make sure the generator is either outdoors or the garage door is at least open. In my case, I purchased some 12" x 12" paving stones from Home Depot ($2 ea in my area) and created a small solid pad to place the generator on as-needed. My grounding rod is right next to the pad, so when I haul out the generator and place it, a simple connection to the grounding rod is made and I'm good to go. There are tons of ways to setup your generator, it all depends on your location and desired usage. Keeping it outside is definitely preferred - mine is under an 8' covered deck, so plenty of air space and still protected from most of the elements. Good luck and happy generating.

YES, but you have to determine what type of installation you want, Re; automatic or manual. And for what size load you're going to be attaching to the generator.

That depends on the size of the house.. Best bet have a generac dealer come out and do a walk through.

Thank you Shannon. I already bought on ebay one this motor assembly that I through away to garbage as my sealing body has the diameter 5.5". I cannot destroy my sealing to install contemporary exhaust fan, hence I am looking for blower of the smaller diameter.Milan

You will need the extra extensions. You also might want to consider going from both ends of the vent.

This generator including wheels is 26 inch wide and the exhaust is located on front left side.

Yes you can! Just start it and run your extension cords to what ever you need! what I did was incorporate it into my household electric breaker box. So when the power goes off for any amount of time...I can just plug the generator into the house....don't have to use any extension cords throughout the house. Make sense? No door cracked open for cords etc.

I installed this in a harbor freight 800 watt generator. I used my milling machine to cut the opening. a rotary tool could easily be used to cut the opening in about any thing.

When installing your generator you'll always want to check your local codes, as they take precedent. The back of this air cooled generator can be installed as little as 18 inches away from the home. You will want to be sure that the intake and exhaust sides have at least 36 inches of clearance for proper air flow. Another important note, the unit will need to be installed at least 60 inches away from any window, door, vent, or opening to the home. You'll also want to make sure there is at least 60 inches of clearance above the generator.

You will need a window or at least a place where you can put hose for exhaust

If you are not familiar with it have the local propane company do it. It is simple with fittings from Home Depot or mensrds or any type hardware store stocks them . I love this generator , easy start , nothing to do but keep the oil changed an trickle charger plugged in
