CONDITION PROBABLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION
Generally, most gas powered generators experience increased difficulty in starting during
cold temperatures. While your generator has been tested for cold weather starts you will
experience greater difficulty when attempting to start the engine at temperatures below
freezing.
Ease of starting improves if the generator has been stored under more temperate conditions
such as in a garage or basement.
WARNING: The generator should not be stored in such locations unless all fuel has been
drained from the unit.
Alternatively, in cold weather conditions, you can move the generator indoors for a period of
30-60 minutes to allow components of the unit to warm.
WARNING: The generator should never be operated indoors as it releases carbon monoxide,
which is a colourless and odorless gas which can cause nausea, fainting, and death. Always
operate in a well-ventilated area.
When starting the generator at a temperature below freezing the following steps are
recommended:
1.Engine oil to be used is 5W-30 4-stroke formulation (low temperature oil) instead of 10W-30
oil.
