Cold Weather Operation

Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below 40°F [4°C] and a high dew point), your Generac generator may experience problems.

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.

WARNING!: 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, as shown in Figure 6.

NOTE: A typical unit is shown here - your unit will differ in appearance.
