Storm Tips.
Please, make sure your generator has sufficient air flow. Try to keep a 3ft opening around all side of your generator. Especially the ends .
Shovel out your generator continuously, you do not want the snow to get into the intake , it will freeze the air filters and not allow your generator to start or continue to run.
Know where your generator key is, make sure it’s turning open today , get familiar with opening the lid. Keep it locked .
See if you have a spare air filter in the house and know where it is, This will help you if your air filter freezes due to snow intake. If you do have
one, practice opening the air box and re-closing it. If your filter freezes you can thaw it out while the replacement allows your generator to run.
Do not cover the ends of the generator.
Do not shut it down during the storm to “check the oil”. Let them run until they stop working, if you shut it down during the storm, no one can come help get it back going.
If you do shut it down while it’s running the house…. to do so, please open the lid, shut the breaker off on the inside and let the generator continue to run not powering the house for 3 mins to allow the stator to cool down, then hit the off button on the controller (ALL BRANDS)
Know where your users manual is so you can look up any lock out codes in the back of the book for troubleshooting
