Move the generator far away to an open, outdoor area and point 
the exhaust away from people and buildings. Once relocated 
to a safe area, the generator can be restarted, and the proper 
electrical connections made. Introduce fresh air and ventilate the 
location where the generator shut off. 

When restarting, the red and yellow LED will blink ten (10) times 
simultaneously to indicate the LED is working.

 

NOTicE

This blinking LED light does not indicate CO Shield

®

 is working, 

as CO Shield

®

 is working at all times when the generator 

is running. Also, the LED light will not blink (10) times if the 
generator was restarted within 1 minute after it was manually 
shut off. This does not occur if generator shut off from a high 
CO event.

If CO Shield

®

 system experiences a fault and no longer provides 

protection, the generator is shutoff automatically and the 

yellow

 

LED light will blink for at least five (5) minutes to notify you of the 
fault.

The generator can be restarted, but will continue to shutoff. 

 

NOTicE

CO Shield

®

 will detect the accumulation of carbon monoxide 

(CO) from other fuel burning sources such as engine powered 
equipment, or propane heaters used in the area of operation. If 
another generator is used and the exhaust stream is pointed at 
a CO Shield

®

 equipped generator, the CO Shield

®

 may initiate 

a shutoff due to rising carbon monoxide (CO) levels. This is not 
a fault. Poisonous carbon monoxide (CO) has been detected. 
You must take action to move and direct the generator exhaust 
stream to better disperse carbon monoxide (CO) far away from 
people or buildings.

 

DANGER

Tampering with the CO Shield

®

 system will result in a 

hazardous condition and will void your warranty.

Removing the CO Shield

®

 module will not allow the generator 

to start.
