In an emergency, use the original shipping carton as a
temporary shelter:
7. Cut off all carton flaps.
8. Cut out one long side of carton to expose muffler
side of unit as shown.
Wind
Muffler side exposed. Your unit may differ in
appearance from that shown above.
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.
9. Cut appropriate slots to access receptacles of unit.
10. Start unit, then place carton over it.
NOTE: Remove shelter when temperatures are above
40°F [4°C].
WARNING
Running engines produce heat.
Temperature of muffler and nearby areas
can reach or exceed 150°F (65°C).
Severe burns can occur on contact.
Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass,
brush, ect. can catch fire.
• DO NOT touch hot surfaces.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• The generator must be at least 5 feet from structures having
combustible walls and/or other combustible materials.
• Keep at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides of generator
for adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing.
• Remove shelter when temperatures are above 40°F [4°C].
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 previously.
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.
9. Face exposed end away from wind and elements.
10. Structure should hold enough heat created by the
generator to prevent icing problem.
11. Start and run engine outdoors.
12. Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area
through windows, doors, ventilation intakes or
other openings.

Running generator gives off carbon
monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide will cause
nausea, fainting or death.
• 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, including the generator compartment of a
recreational vehicle (RV).
13. DO NOT enclose generator any more than shown.
14. Remove shelter when temperatures are above
40°F [4°C].
