BSPP Generator

COLD WEATHER

OPERATION

Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below 40°F [4°C] combined with high humidity), your generator may experience icing of the carburetor and/or the crankcase breather system.To reduce this problem, you need to perform the following:

1.Make sure generator has clean, fresh fuel.

2.Open fuel valve (turn valve to open position).

3.Use SAE 5W-30 oil (see engine operator’s manual).

4.Check oil level daily or after every eight (8) hours of operation.

5.Maintain generator following “Maintenance Schedule” in engine operator’s manual.

6.Shelter unit from elements.

WARNING

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

Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea, fainting or death.

•Operate generator ONLY outdoors.

•Install a battery operated carbon monoxide alarm near the bedrooms.

•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).

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.

Creating a Temporary Cold Weather 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 7.

NOTE: If required, remove wheel kit to fit carton over generator as shown in Figure 7.

Wind

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 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. Let any spilled fuel evaporate before starting engine.

Creating a Permanent Cold Weather 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 7.

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 Cold Weather Shelter”.
