Creating a Temporary Shelter

1.In an emergency, use the original shipping carton.

2.Cut off top carton flaps and one long side of carton to expose muffler side of unit. If required, tape up other sides of carton to fit over generator as shown in Figure 9.

Figure 9 — Permanent Cold Weather Shelter

Wind

6.Start generator as described in the section “Starting the Engine”, then place carton over generator. Keep at least 5 ft. (152 cm) clearance on all sides of generator including overhead with shelter in place.

WARNING

Running engines produce heat.Temperature of muffler and nearby areas can reach or exceed 150°F (65°C).

Severe burns can occur on contact.

Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire.

•DO NOT touch hot surfaces and avoid hot exhaust gases.

•Allow equipment to cool before touching.

•Keep at least 5 ft. (152 cm) clearance on all sides of generator including overhead.

•Remove shelter when temperatures are above 40°F [4°C].

7.Remove shelter when temperatures are above 40°F [4°C].

8.Turn engine OFF and let cool two (2) minutes before refueling.Wipe up any spilled fuel.

NOTE: If required, remove wheel kit to fit carton over generator as shown in Figure 9.

3.Cut appropriate slots to access receptacles of unit.

4.Face exposed end away from wind and elements.

5.Locate generator as described in the section “Generator Location”. Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings.

WARNING

Running generator gives off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas.

Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting or death.

•Operate generator ONLY outdoors.

•Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings.

•DO NOT operate generator inside any building or enclosure (even if doors or windows are open), including the generator compartment of a recreational vehicle (RV).

Creating a Permanent Shelter

1.Build a structure that will enclose three sides and the top of the generator, making sure muffler side of generator is exposed.

NOTE: Structure should hold enough heat created by the generator to prevent icing problem.

2.DO NOT enclose generator any more than shown in Figure 9.

NOTE: If a wheel kit is installed on the generator, enlarge shelter accordingly.

3.Follow steps 3 through 8 as described previously in “Creating a Temporary Shelter”.
