CONTROLS & FEATURES

CO-MINDER (CO Shut-off System)

CO-MINDER is a system that automatically stops the engine before the
surrounding carbon monoxide concentration exceeds a certain level.
If the CO-MINDER detects a high carbon monoxide concentration, the engine
will stop and the CO ALARM indicator will flash for about five minutes.
Continuously using the generator in areas with high concentrations of carbon
monoxide can cause serious health hazards due to carbon monoxide poisoning
(see page 8). If you are in the same area as the generator, evacuate the area
immediately. Get fresh air and seek medical attention immediately if you feel
sick or suspect you have inhaled carbon monoxide. Ventilate the area or space
where the generator is located.
CO-MINDER RESET BUTTON
If the engine is stopped by the CO-MINDER system, change the operating
location of the generator.
• Do not operate the generator in an enclosed or partly enclosed area such as a
garage.
• Do not enclose or cover the generator with boards or a tent, even when it is
outside and away from of a building.
• Place the generator so that the muffler is pointed in the same direction as the
wind is blowing and the exhaust is directed away from buildings, other
structures, or vehicles.
• Avoid placing the generator near devices that emit carbon monoxide, such as
another generator.
