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.
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 5.
Figure 5 — Permanent Cold Weather Shelter
Wind
• 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
generator from shelter when temperature is above
40°F [4°C].
