CAUTION!
Although this outlet states it has a
240 Volt 50 Amp rating (up to 12,500 watts), the
generator is only rated for 10,000 watts.
Powering loads that exceed the wattage/
amperage capacity of the generator can
damage it and cause serious injuries.
COLD WEATHER
OPERATION
Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below
40°F [4°C] combined with high humidity), your
Craftsman generator may experience icing of the
carburetor and/or the crankcase breather system. To
reduce this problem, you need to perform the following:
•
Make sure generator has clean, fresh fuel.
•
Open fuel tank valve (turn valve to open position).
•
Use SAE 5W-30 oil (synthetic preferred, see page 5).
•
Check oil level daily or after every eight (8) hours
of operation.
•
Change oil every 24 hours of operation.
•
Shelter unit from the elements.
In an emergency, use the original shipping carton as a
temporary shelter:
•
Cut off all carton flaps.
•
Cut out one of the long sides of the carton to
expose muffler side of unit as shown. Ensure a
minimum of two feet clearance between open side
of carton and nearest object.
Wind
Muffler side exposed. Your unit may differ in
appearance from that shown above.
•
Cut appropriate slots to access receptacles of unit.
•
Start unit, then place carton over it.
NOTE: Remove carton 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.
•
Ensure a minimum of two feet clearance between
open side of structure and nearest object.
•
Face exposed end away from wind and elements.
•
Structure should hold enough heat created by the
generator to prevent icing problem.
_
ARNING!
Engines give off carbon monoxide,
an odorless, colorless, poison gas. Breathing
carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting or
death.
•
Start and run engine outdoors.
•
Do Not start or run engine in enclosed area, even
if doors or windows are open.
•
Do Not enclose generator any more than shown.
•
Remove shelter when temperatures are above
40°F [4°C].
•
Turn engine OFF and let cool two (2) minutes
before refueling.
