DANGER

YOU IN MINUTES.

Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a poison gas you

cannot see or smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing CO.

But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.

 NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed

areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan or

opening windows and doors does NOT supply enough fresh air.

 ONLY use a generator outside and far away from windows, doors, and vents. These

openings can pull in generator exhaust.

Even if you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-

powered or battery-backup CO alarm in the home.

If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been running, move to fresh

air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.

top of the tank. Allow for expansion.
