40°F [4°C] combined with high humidity), your generator
may experience icing of the carburetor and/or the
crankcase breather system.To reduce this problem, you
need to perform the following:
1.
Make sure generator has clean, fresh fuel.
2.
Open fuel valves (turn valve to open position).
3.
Use SAE 5W-30 oil (see engine operator's manual).
4.
Check oil level daily or after every eight (8) hours of
operation.
5.
Maintain generator following "Maintenance Schedule"
in engine operator's manual.
6.
Shelter unit from elements.
Creating a Temporary Cold Weather
Shelter
1.
In an emergency, use the original shipping carton.
2.
Cut off top carton flaps and one long side of carton to
expose muffler side of unit. If required, tape up other
sides of carton to fit over generator as shown in
Figure 10.

WARNING
Running generator gives off carbon monoxide,
an odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea,
fainting or death.
• Operate generator ONLY outdoors.
• Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through
windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings.
• DO NOT operate generator inside any building or enclosure
(even if doors or windows are open), including the generator
compartment of a recreational vehicle (RV).
6.
Start generator as described in the section "Starting
the Engine", then place carton over generator. Keep at
least 5 ft. (152 cm) clearance on all sides of generator
including overhead with shelter in place.
WARNING
Running engines produce heat.Temperature of
muffler and nearby areas can reach or exceed
150°F (65°C).
Severe burns can occur on contact.
Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles,
structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire.
• DO NOT touch hot surfaces and avoid hot exhaust gases.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• Keep at least 5 ft. (152 cm) clearance on all sides of generator
including overhead.
• Remove shelter when temperatures are above 40°F [4°C].
7.
Remove shelter when temperatures are above 40°F
[4°C].
8.
Turn engine OFF and let cool two (2) minutes before
refueling. Let any spilled fuel evaporate before starting
engine.
Creating a Permanent Cold Weather
Shelter
1.
Build a structure that will enclose three sides and the
top of the generator, making sure muffler side of
generator is exposed.
NOTE: Structure should hold enough heat created by the
generator to prevent icing problem.
2.
DO NOT enclose generator any more than shown in
Figure 10.
NOTE: If a wheel kit is installed on the generator, enlarge
shelter accordingly.
3.
Follow steps 3 through 8 as described previously in
"Creating a Temporary Cold Weather Shelter".
