Operation

Step 1: Safe Location
Before starting the portable generator there are two
equally important safety concerns regarding carbon
monoxide poisoning and fire that must be addressed.
Operation Location of Portable Generator to REDUCE
THE RISK OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
WARNING! Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you in
minutes. You cannot smell it, see it, or taste it.
Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be
exposed to carbon monoxide gas. Operate this product
only outdoors far away from windows, doors and vents to
reduce the risk of carbon monoxide gas from
accumulating and potentially being drawn towards
occupied spaces. Install battery-operated carbon
monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon monoxide alarms with
battery back-up according to the manufacturer's
instructions. Smoke alarms cannot detect carbon
monoxide gas. Do not run this product inside homes,
garages, basements, crawlspaces, sheds, or other
partially-enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening
doors and windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can
quickly build up in these spaces and can linger for hours,
even after this product has shut off. Always place this
product downwind and point the engine exhaust away
from occupied spaces. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or
weak while using this product, get to fresh air right away.
See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide
poisoning.
