40°F [4°C] and a high dew point), your generator may
experience icingof the carburetor and/or the crankcase
breather system.
In an emergency, usethe original shipping box as a
temporary shelter:
• Cut off all flaps.
• Cut out one of the long sides of the box to expose
exhaust side of unit. Ensurea minimum of two feet
clearance between open sideof box and nearest object.
• Cut appropriate slots to accessreceptacles of unit. You
may also need to cut a clearance slot for the handle.
• Start unit, then place box over it.
IMPORTANT: Remove shelter when temperature is
above 40°F [4°C].
For a more permanent shelter, build a structure that will
enclose three sidesand the top of the generator:
• Make sure entire muffler-side of generator is exposed, as
shown in Figure 8. Note that your generator's
appearancemay differ from that shown here.
• Ensure a minimum of two feet clearance between open
side of box and nearest object.
• Face exposed end away from wind and elements.
