DANGER:
Carbon Monoxide. Using a generator indoors CAN KILL
YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon mon-
oxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell. If
you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing
CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could
be breathing CO.
Never use a generator inside homes, garages, crawl-
spaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels
of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Us-
ing a fan or opening windows and doors does 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 battery-powered or
battery-backup CO alarm in the home.
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.
WARNING:
NEVER ignore an automatic shutoff event. IF AUTOMATIC
SHUTOFF OCCURS – YOU MUST leave the area imme-
diately and relocate to an open outdoor area. Ventilate
the area thoroughly before occupying again. Ensure the
generator is located in an open, outdoor area at least 20
feet away from all doors, windows, and occupied spaces.
Always point exhaust away from occupied structures.
Never run the generator in enclosed areas (e.g. not in a
house or garage). Failure to follow these instructions can
lead to carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning which can result
in death or serious personal injury.
WARNING:
If this generator will be used only with cord and plug-
connected equipment, National Electric Code does not
require that the unit be grounded. However, other methods
of using the generator may require grounding to reduce the
risk of shock or electrocution. Consult a qualified electrician,
electrical inspector, or local agency having jurisdiction for
local codes or ordinances to find out if grounding is needed
in your situation before using the generator.
