Chapter 4 — Using Your eZG7250 Generator
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. 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. 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 your 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.
4.1 Starting Your Generator
Before using generator, a ground wire must be connected to the ground
terminal. The Ground terminal is located on the Front Panel. Before using
the ground terminal consult a qualified electrician.
Do not use the choke if the engine is warm or if the air temperature is higher
than 50°F (10°C).
We know you're excited to get using your generator. Please be sure to follow the
startup instructions below thoroughly to ensure the best lifespan for your generator.
