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:
1. Make sure entire muffler-side of generator is exposed.
Note that your generator may appear different from
that shown in Figure 8.

2. Ensure a minimum of two feet clearance between open
side of box and nearest object.
3. Face exposed end away from wind and elements.
4. Enclosure should hold enough heat created by
generator to prevent problems.
DANGER

an odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea,
fainting or death.
• Operate generator ONLY outdoors.
• Keep at least 2 feet of clearance on all sides of generator for
adequate ventilation.
