Creating a Temporary Shelter
1. In an emergency, use the original shipping carton.
2. Cut off top carton flaps and one long side of carton
to expose muffler side of unit. If required, tape up
other sides of carton to fit over generator as shown
in Figure 6.
NOTE: If required, remove wheel kit to fit carton over
generator as shown in Figure 6.
3. Cut appropriate slots to access receptacles of unit.
4. Face exposed end away from wind and elements.
5. Locate generator as described in the section
“Generator Location”. Keep exhaust gas from
entering a confined area through windows, doors,
ventilation intakes or other openings.
6. Start generator as described in the section
“Starting the Engine”, then place carton over
generator. Keep at least 5 ft. (152 cm) clearance
on all sides of generator including overhead with
shelter in place.
7. Remove shelter when temperatures are above 40°F
[4°C].
8. Turn engine OFF and let cool two (2) minutes
before refueling. Let any spilled fuel evaporate
before starting engine.
Creating a Permanent Shelter
1. Build a structure that will enclose three sides and
the top of the generator, making sure muffler side
of generator is exposed.
NOTE: Structure should hold enough heat created by
the generator to prevent icing problem.
2. DO NOT enclose generator any more than shown
in Figure 6.
NOTE: If a wheel kit is installed on the generator,
enlarge shelter accordingly.
3. Follow steps 3 through 8 as described previously
in “Creating a Temporary Shelter”.
Figure 6 — Cold Weather Shelter
Wind
• DO NOT touch hot surfaces and avoid hot exhaust
gases.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• Keep at least 5 ft. (152 cm) clearance on all sides of
generator including overhead.
• Remove shelter when temperatures are above 40°F [4°C].
Running engines produce heat. Temperature
of muffler and nearby areas can reach or
exceed 150°F (65°C).
Severe burns can occur on contact.
Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles,
structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire.
WARNING
• Operate generator ONLY outdoors.
• Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through
windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings.
• DO NOT operate generator inside any building or
enclosure (even if doors or windows are open), including
the generator compartment of a recreational vehicle (RV).
Running generator gives off carbon
monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause
nausea, fainting or death.
