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 ail 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 and
clear handles.
• Start unit, then place box over it.
IMPORTANTI: 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. Note that your generator may appear
different from that shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8 — Temporary Coid Weather Shelter

A CAUTION: NEVER run unit indoors; Do Not
enclose generator any more than shown.
Remove shelter when temperatures are above
40°F [4°C].
