COsense
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detection
and Shut-off System (if equipped)
See Figure 2-8. The COsense module moni-
tors for the accumulation of poisonous CO gas
found in engine exhaust when the generator is
running. If COsense detects increasing levels
of CO gas, it automatically shuts off the
engine. COsense only monitors when the
engine is running. Generators are intended to
be used outdoors, far from occupied buildings
and the exhaust pointed away from personnel
and buildings. However, if mis-used and oper-
ated in a location that results in the accumula-
tion of CO, like indoors or in a partially
enclosed area, COsense shuts off the engine,
notifies the user of what has happened and
directs the user to read the instruction action
label for steps to take. COsense is not a sub-
stitute for an indoor carbon monoxide alarm.

RED light in the COsense badge on the side
of the generator provides notification that the
generator was shut off due to an accumulating
CO hazard. The RED light will blink for at least
five minutes after a CO shut-off. Move the
generator to an open, outdoor area and point
the exhaust away from people and occupied
4
buildings. Once relocated to a safe area, the
generator can be restarted and the proper
electrical connections made to supply electri-
cal power. The RED light will stop blinking
automatically upon engine re-start. Introduce
fresh air and ventilate the location where the
generator had shut down.

occurred and no longer provides protection,
the portable generator is shut off automatically
and the YELLOW light will blink for at least
five minutes in the COsense badge to notify
the user of the fault. The COsense module
can only be diagnosed and repaired by a
trained technician at the dealer. The generator
can be re-started, but may continue to shut-
off.
COsense will detect the accumulation of Car-
bon Monoxide from other fuel burning sources
such as engine powered tools or propane
heaters used in the area of operation. For
example, if another generator is used and the
exhaust is pointed at a COsense equipped
generator, COsense may initiate a shut-off
due to rising CO levels. This is not an error.
Hazardous Carbon Monoxide has been
detected. The user must take action to move
and re-direct these devices to better dissipate
Carbon Monoxide far away from personnel
and occupied buildings.
