Carbon Monoxide Hazards
DANGER
–
Generator must be installed and operated outdoors only.
–
NEVER allow exhaust fumes to enter a confined area
through windows, doors, air intake vents or other openings
of the building
–
ALWAYS avoid breathing exhaust fumes when near an
operating generator.
–
NEVER alter the generator or modify the exhaust system
thereby creating noncompliance with Federal and State
emissions regulations, local applicable codes, standards
and laws.
–
NEVER allow blockage of the engine’s air intake cooling
ventilation system. Doing so can seriously affect
performance and safe operation of the generator.
–
Install a battery-operated carbon monoxide (CO) detector
on each level of any building adjacent to the generator
location following the manufacturer’s CO detector
installation instructions.
NOTICE
In many States it is required by law to have a Carbon Monoxide
(CO) detector on each level of any building in operating
condition.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea, dizziness, fainting
or death.
A Carbon Monoxide (CO) detector is a device that detects elevated
hazardous levels of CO and will alert the occupants by flashing a
visual light indicator and an audible alarm.
