CARBON MONOXIDE - POISONOUS GAS
Use unit outdoors, away from open windows, vents, or doors.
Unit exhaust contains carbon monoxide - a poisonous gas that can kill
you. You CAN NOT smell or see this gas.
Never use the unit in enclosed or partially-enclosed spaces. The unit can
produce high levels of carbon monoxide very quickly. When you use this
unit, remember that you cannot smell or see carbon monoxide. Even if you
can't smell exhaust fumes, you may still be exposed to carbon monoxide.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using the unit, get to fresh air
RIGHT AWAY. DO NOT DELAY. The carbon monoxide from the unit can
rapidly lead to full incapacitation and death.
If you experience serious symptoms, get medical attention immediately.
Inform medical staff that carbon monoxide poisoning is suspected. If you
experienced symptoms while indoors, have someone call the fire depart-
ment to determine when it is safe to re-enter the building.
Never operate the unit in an explosive atmosphere, near combustible ma-
terials or where ventilation is not sufficient to carry away exhaust fumes.
Exhaust fumes can cause serious injury or death.
NEVER use the unit indoors, including in homes, garages, basements, crawl
spaces, and other enclosed or partially-enclosed areas, even with ventila-
tion. Opening doors and windows or using fans will not prevent carbon
monoxide build-up in the home.
Follow the instructions that come with your unit. Locate the unit outdoors
and away from doors, windows, and vents that could allow the carbon mon-
oxide gas to come indoors.
ONLY run unit outdoors and away from air intakes.
NEVER run unit inside homes, garages, sheds, or other semi-enclosed
spaces. These spaces can trap poisonous gases EVEN IF you run a fan or
open doors and windows.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using the unit, shut if off and
get fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon monox-
ide alarms with battery back-up in your home, according to the manufactur-
er's installation instructions. The carbon monoxide alarms should be certi-
fied to the requirements of the latest safety standards for carbon monoxide
alarms. (UL 2034, IAS 6-96, or CSA 6.19.01).
Test your carbon monoxide alarm frequently and replace dead batteries.
