Important Safety Instructions

DANGER: Carbon Monoxide. Using an engine 

indoors can kill. Engine exhaust contains high levels 

of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you 

cannot see or smell. You may be breathing CO even if 

you do not smell engine exhaust.

NEVER

 use an engine 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.

ONLY 

use outdoors and far away from open

windows, doors and vents. These openings can pull in 
engine exhaust.

Even when the engine is used correctly, CO may leak
into your home. 

ALWAYS

 use a battery-powered or 

English (original instructions)

battery backup CO alarm in your house. 

Read and 

follow all directions for CO alarm before using. 

If 

you feel sick, dizzy or weak at anytime, move to fresh 
air immediately. See a doctor. You could have carbon 
monoxide poisoning.
