COLD WEATHER

OPERATION

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

•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 8.

•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.

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