OPER.ATIOM
Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below
40°F [4"C] and a high dew point), your generator may
experience icing of the carburetor and/or the crankcase
breather system.
In an emergency, use the original shipping box as a
temporary shelter:
• Cut off all flaps.
• Cut out one of the long sides of the box to expose
exhaust side of unit. Ensure a minimum of two feet
clearance between open side of box and nearest object.
• Cut appropriate slots to access receptacles of unit.
• Start unit, then place box over it.
IMPORTANT: Remove shelter when temperature is
above 40° F [4°C].
For a more permanent shelter, build a structure that will
enclose three sides and the top of the generator:
• Make sure entire muffler-side of generator is exposed.
Note that your generator may appear different from that
shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9 —Temporary Cold Weather Shelter
Ensure a minimum of two feet clearance between open
side of box and nearest object.
Face exposed end away from wind and elements.
Enclosure should hold enough heat created by the
generator to prevent problems.
CAUTION! Never run unit indoors. Do Not
enclose generator any more than shown.
