OpERATION
DANGER:
Carbon monoxide. 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. But even
if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.
n
Never use a generator inside homes, garages,
crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly
levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas.
Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT
supply enough fresh air.
n
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.
DANGER:
Failure to properly ground generator can result in
electrocution, especially if the generator is equipped
with a wheel kit. Generators have to be properly
grounded to an approved earth ground. Call an
electrician for local grounding requirements.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a
second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not use any attachments or accessories not
recommended by the manufacturer of this product.
The use of attachments or accessories not
recommended can result in serious personal injury.
