4. USING YOUR GENERATOR

DANGER!
Using a generator indoors WILL KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous
gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust you are
breathing CO. Even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing
CO.
NEVER use a generator inside a home, garage, crawlspace, or other partly
enclosed area, deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas.
Using a fan or opening windows and doors will 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. Even when you use a
generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a CO alarm in
your home.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been running,
move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY and seek medical attention. You could have
carbon monoxide poisoning. Never run the generator in an enclosed or even
partially enclosed area where people may be present.
Carburetor Modification for High Altitude Operation (Above 2000 feet)
NOTE
This engine is equipped to run at altitudes below 2,000-ft.
A high-altitude Main Jet is recommended when operated at 2,000 to
7,000-ft above sea level.
At elevations above 7,000-ft the engine may experience decreased
performance even with a high-altitude Main Jet.
At high altitudes the carburetor's air/fuel mixture becomes too rich, resulting in higher
fuel consumption, lower performance, and carbon build-up on the spark plug. On
the other hand, if the carburetor has been modified for high altitude operation and is
operated below 2000-ft, the air/fuel mixture will then be too lean for low altitude use.
Always use the correct Main Jet for your altitude.
The engine's carburetor, governor (if so equipped), and any other parts that control
the air/fuel ratio will need to be adjusted by a qualified mechanic to allow efficient
high-altitude use, and to prevent damage to the engine and any other devices used
with this product. The fuel system on this engine may be influenced by operation at
higher altitudes.
Carburetor bowl may have gas in it which will leak upon removing the
bolt.
