COLD WEATHER
OPERATION
Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below
40°F [4°C] and a high dew point), your Generac generator
may experience icing of the carburetor and/or the
crankcase breather system.
In an emergency, use the 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. Ensure a minimum of two feet
clearance between open side of box and nearest object.
• Cut appropriate slots to access receptacles 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 sides and the top of the generator:
• Make sure entire muffler-side of generator is exposed. A
typical shelter is shown in Figure 6.
• Ensure a minimum of two feet clearance between open
side of box and nearest object.
• Face exposed end away from wind and elements.
• Enclosure should hold enough heat created by the
generator to prevent icing problems.
CAUTION!
Never run unit indoors; Do Not
enclose generator any more than shown. Remove
shelter when temperatures are above 40°F [4°C].
