2.1.1 COLD WEATHER OPERATION/DE-ICER

Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below 40 °F (4.4
°C) and a high dew point), the engine may experience icing of the
carburetor and/or the crankcase breather system. To eliminate
this problem, this generator engine is fitted with a winter/summer
valve. This directs hot air into the carburetor during cold weather
operation. Always make sure the winter/summer valve is in the
correct location relative to the weather conditions (Figure 8).
