Section 4: Operation
For a more permanent shelter, build a structure that will
enclose three sides and the top of the generator.
7. Make sure entire muffler-side of generator is exposed,
as shown in Figure 10.
IMPORTANT: The generator must be at least 5 ft.
(152 cm) from structures having combustible walls and/or
other combustible materials. Leave at least 3 ft. (92 cm) all
around generator including overhead, for adequate cooling,
maintenance and servicing.
8. Face exposed end away from wind and elements.
9. Structure should hold enough heat created by the
generator to prevent icing problem.
10. Start and run engine outdoors.
11. Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area
through windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other
openings.
12. DO NOT enclose generator any more than shown in
Figure 10.
13. Remove shelter when temperatures are above 40°F
[4°C].

refueling.
GENERATOR ADAPTER
CORD SET
The generator is equipped with a 25’ generator adapter
cord set designed for a 240 Volt, 30 Amp grounded neutral
circuit (Figure 11).The generator adapter cord set provides
a convenient supply of emergency power into your dwelling
so that your generator can be operated safely outside.
The maximum load on each outlet is 20 Amps.The
maximum total load on both yellow wire outlets or both
black wire outlets is 30 Amps.
NOTE: Follow all safety precautions when connecting any
extension cord or device to the generator.
• 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 will cause nausea,
fainting or death.
