1.4 Other Safety Tips

• To avoid breathing in poisonous carbon monoxide from the exhaust gases,
adequate ventilation should be provided if the generator set is running in a
partially enclosed space.
• If the generator set is stored outdoors, check all the electrical components on
the control panel before each use. Moisture can damage the generator and
can lead to an electric shock.
• When storing gasoline or equipment with fuel in tank: store away from
furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other appliances that have a pilot light or
other ignition source because they can ignite gasoline vapors.
• Generators vibrate in normal use. During and after the use of the generator,
inspect the generator as well as extension cords and power supply cords
connected to it for damage resulting from vibration. Have damaged items
repaired or replaced as necessary. Do not use plugs or cords that show signs
of damage such as broken or cracked insulation or damaged blades.
• 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 could have carbon
monoxide poisoning.
