OPERATION

WARNING
Carbon Monoxide. Using a generator indoors can
cause death in minutes.
Generator exhaust fumes contains high levels of carbon
monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell. If
you can smell the generator exhaust fumes, you are breathing
CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust fumes, 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 outdoors and far away from open
windows, doors, and vents. These openings can pull in
generator exhaust fumes.
