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 9.
Figure 9 — Permanent Cold Weather Shelter
Wind
• Ensure a minimum of two feet clearance between open
side of box and nearest object.
