IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), an invisible,
odorless, and extremely poisonous gas. If you
smell exhaust fumes, you are breathing carbon
monoxide. But, even if you do not smell exhaust
fumes you may be inhaling CO.
ONLY operate generators outside, in a well-
ventilated
area.
indoors, doing so CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
• Correct Use- ONLY use generators outside and
downwind, far away from windows, doors and vents.
ALWAYS direct exhaust away from occupied spaces.
ALWAYS install battery-powered carbon monoxide
detectors or plug-in carbon monoxide detectors with
battery back-up in living areas. See Figure 1.
• Incorrect Use- NEVER use a generator in your
home, garage, basement, attic, crawl space or any
other fully or partially enclosed area. Areas such
as these can allow dangerous levels of carbon
monoxide to accumulate. An open door or a run-
ning fan WILL NOT provide adequate ventilation.
See Figure 2.
If you start feeling dizzy, weak, or sick while using
the generator, move to fresh air IMMEDIATELY.
Contact a doctor. You may be experiencing carbon
monoxide poisoning.
DANGER
DO NOT connect to a building's electrical system
unless the generator and a transfer switch have
been properly installed and the electrical output
has been verified by a qualified electrician. The
connection must isolate the generator power from
utility power and must comply with all applicable
laws and electrical codes. Failure to properly isolate
the generator power could cause property damage
and create a dangerous backfeed of electricity
which could kill or seriously injure utility workers.
DANGER
use the generator in a location that is wet or damp.
NEVER expose the generator to rain, snow, water
spray, or standing water while in use. Protect the
generator from all hazardous weather conditions.
Moisture or ice can cause a short circuit or other
malfunction in the electrical circuit.

of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. Your specific home and/or wind
conditions may require additional distance.
l The National Electrical Code requires the use of a transfer
switch or other suitable transfer equipment whenever a
portable generator is connected to a building's electrical
system. Transfer switches isolate generator power from
utility power and prevent backfeeding of electric power
into the utility system.
