Chapter 4 — Using Your EZV series 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 or fully 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.
