CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARDS
DANGER
!
Generator exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a colorless, odorless,
poisonous gas. Breathing carbon
monoxide will cause nausea,
dizziness, fainting or death. If you
start to feel dizzy or weak, get to
fresh air immediately.
• The generator must be installed
and operated outdoors only.
NEVER install the generator where
exhaust fumes could seep inside
or be drawn into a potentially
occupied building through
windows, air intake vents or other
openings.
• Avoid breathing exhaust fumes
when near an operating generator.
• NEVER alter or add to the exhaust
system or do anything that might
render the system unsafe or in
noncompliance with applicable
codes, standards, laws and
regulations.
• Install a battery-operated carbon
monoxide detector on each
level of any building adjacent
to the generator following the
manufacturer's instructions.
• NEVER permit even partial
blockage of engine cooling
ventilation air. Doing so can
seriously affect safe operation of
the generator.

limited to the following:
• Light-headedness, dizziness
• Physical fatigue, weakness in joints and muscles
• Sleepiness, mental fatigue, inability to concentrate or
