I've read that a generator must be at least 18" from a wall. Does this mean on any side adjacent to a wall? But I beli I believe there may exception

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.

I mounted mine right on the wall using the bracket that came with the heater. I believe 8 to 10 inches is the minimum distance from adjacent walls. I live at an elevation of 5,300' and have no problems. I never considered the distance from the ceiling since I have over 8 feet of clearance, but I believe the instructions addressed those issues.

39", so you either need to be really close to the outlet or have a grounded extension.OOPS sorry just saw the other replies. Funny, I measured it with a tape measure, sounds like there is some variance amongst what people got.

There is no restricting the load. If you are looking to make sure that you can not draw more than the unit can put out the way to go is the select circuit transfer panel. This will allow assigning of specific circuits to assure the proper load for the generator. If you should have any questions please feel free to contact me at 800.654.7440 ext 109.

I've had mine for a couple of months and haven't noticed any problems. Mine is about 5-6" from the wall.

There is ground wire attachment point on the front to attach a wire to run to a ground point. It will work without the ground but most generator manufacturers now recommend using an external ground for additional safety.

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.

Sounds like if you have the 8000 watts output this cord will plug into your output receptacle on the generator, need to check the ratings on both the cord and generator. Remember this is the main feed line between your generator and home or what you are trying to supply with electricity. Use caution, proper rated inlet box and a transfer switch/panel. 8000 watts output is more than sufficient to run [minimal use] a normal size single family home during an outage. Also, when in doubt consult with a licensed electrician.

Yep, what everyone else said. It's supposed to be off to the side, but not too far away. I can't remember for certain what it listed for how far away to position it, but I want to say it was something like 20 inches.

i had mine installed about 3 inches from the outside wall because it is electric i felt that it would not be a good idea to expose it to the washington rains by looking at the exposed wires and wire rap .i did not see and thing in the instructions which would not permit it .

I would say that their would be no problem, but if this was mine, I would not use the 7,500 cord on that big of a generator. It might be ok, depending on the load, if the load is more than the 7,500 watts the cord would heat up real bad. if the load is smaller than 7,500 watts, then this cord is great. hope this helped

It is finished on all four sides as if intended to be used in an island or peninsula. However I do not see any reason why you would not be able to use it close to a wall. Just bear in mind that the hood part sticks out further than the chase on all four sides and plan accordingly

I assume you mean the termination cap. I believe there is a min. and maximum distance from the exterior wall you must stay within, I assume you're horizontally venting. your equipment installation guide should give you placement rules, height, distance from windows, inside corners etc.

mine was about 18 inches or so..plan on a extension cord unless your mounting it next to a ceiling plug..

I occasionally run this model DuroStar generator without grounding, but it is not recommended and I not would recommend running any generator without connection to a copper-coated ground rod driven a minimum of six feet into the ground. Without this attachment that third (round) prong on your extension cords is meaningless and you are subject to being shocked by your electrical equipment attached to the extension cords.

15amps pre side. Totals 30amps total. The thing I found out about these little inverters is not to run them on a weak power supply, if an extension cord is needed, use a VERRY heavy cord. And the manufacturer " implies " it is the ground by stating adding a ground to lugs in back of unit. Believe me 30 is plenty! But I use a generator with 30 and40 amp outlets and always a ground stake. O by the way,the foot rheostat pictured in the ad does not come with it had to go on line to a German supplier to find one. So if your cripple like me and a foot switch is critical, you may want to do some further looking. Otherwise this machine is amazing. 15amps pre side. Totals 30amps total.

mine is about 20. I have it installed on the wall outside the garage since my electric car is a extra car and it does not go in the garage I have no problem the cord goes over the side gate and it is enough to reach the car i can park front first of back first no problem either way I m happy with my GE watt station and iwht my little side kick fiat E500 too . I only take my other gas car if I have too.. GO GREEN Have a great day
