COLD WEATHER

OPERATION

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.

Build a structure that will enclose three sides and the top of the generator:

1.Make sure entire muffler-side of generator is exposed. Note that your generator may appear different from that shown in Figure 10.

Figure 10 — Permanent Cold Weather Shelter

Wind

2.Ensure a minimum of two feet clearance between open side of box and nearest object.

3.Face exposed end away from wind and elements.

4.Enclosure should hold enough heat created by the generator to prevent problems.

DANGER

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

Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea, fainting or death.

Operate generator ONLY outdoors.

Keep at least 2 feet of clearance on all sides of generator for adequate ventilation.

DO NOT operate generator inside any building or enclosure, including the generator compartment of a recreational vehicle (RV).

Remove generator from shelter when temperature is above 40°F [4°C].
