If you or anyone else experiences any of these symptoms get to fresh air immediately.
Shut the generator down and do not operate it until it has been inspected and repaired
by a professional. If the symptoms persist seek medical attention.
Carbon Monoxide is poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and death.
Do not operate the generator while sleeping. You would not be aware of exhaust
entering the RV, or alert to symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Never store anything in a generator compartment. Always keep the compartment
clean and dry.
Do not operate the generator in an enclosed building or in a partly enclosed area
such as a garage. It is also not recommended that you use the generator when
there are other vehicles nearby.
Review the safety precautions for fuel and exhaust fumes elsewhere in this
manual.
Do not operate the generator when the RV is parked in high grass or brush. Heat
from the exhaust could cause a fire in dry conditions.
Never operate your chassis or generator engine, or the engine of any vehicle, longer
than necessary when the vehicle is parked.
Do not simultaneously operate generator and a ventilator which could result in the
entry of exhaust gas. When exhaust ventilators are used, we recommend that a
window on the opposite side of the unit “upwind” of exhaust gases be opened to
provide cross ventilation.
When parked, orient the vehicle so that the wind will carry the exhaust away from
the vehicle. Do not open nearby windows, ventilators, or doors into the passenger
compartment, particularly those which can be “down wind”, even part of the time.
Do not operate the generator when parked in close proximity to vegetation, snow,
buildings, vehicles, or any other object that could deflect the exhaust under or into
the vehicle.
Do not touch the generator when running, or immediately after shutting off. Heat
from the generator can cause burns. Allow the generator to cool before attempting
maintenance or service.
