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.
5500W Portable Generator
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 6.
Figure 6 — Permanent Cold Weather Shelter
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.
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].
