SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Page 02

WARNING

POISONOUS GAS HAZARD. 

Engine  exhaust  contains  carbon

monoxide,  a  poisonous  gas  that

could  kill  you  in  minutes.  You

CANNOT

  smell  it,  see  it,  or  taste

it. Even if you do not smell exhaust

fumes, you could still be exposed

to carbon monoxide gas.

Operate this product 

ONLY

 outside far away

from  windows,  doors  and  vents  to  reduce

the  risk  of  carbon  monoxide  gas  from

accumulating  and  potentially  being  drawn

towards occupied spaces.

Install battery-operated carbon monoxide

alarms or plug-in carbon monoxide alarms

with  battery  back-up  according  to  the

manufacturer’s instructions. Smoke alarms

cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.

DO  NOT

  run  this  product  inside  homes,

garages,  basements,  crawlspaces,  sheds,  or

other partially-enclosed spaces even if  using

fans  or  opening  doors  and  windows  for

ventilation.  Carbon  monoxide  can  quickly

build  up  in  these  spaces  and  can  linger  for

hours, even after this product has shut off.

ALWAYS

 place this product downwind and

point  the  engine  exhaust  away  from

occupied  spaces.  If  you  start  to  feel  sick,

dizzy, or weak while using this product, shut

it off and get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a

doctor.  You  may  have  carbon  monoxide

poisoning.

Avoid other generator hazards.

READ MANUAL BEFORE USE.

WARNING

The  engine  exhaust  from  this  product  contains

chemicals  known  to  the  State  of  California  to

cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive

harm.

WARNING

Certain components in this product and related

accessories  contain  chemicals  known  to  the

State of California to cause cancer, birth defects

or  other  reproductive  harm.  Wash  hands  after

handling.

If

 

you

 

start

 

to

 

feel

 

sick

dizzy

 

or

 

weak

while

 

using

 

the

 

portable

 

generator

you

may

 

have

 

carbon

 

monoxide

 

poisoning.

Get  out  side  to  fresh  air  immediately  and

call  911  for  emergency  medical  attention.

Very  high  levels  of  CO  can  rapidly  cause

victims  to  lose  consciousness  before  they

can rescue themselves. DO NOT attempt to

shut  off  the  generator  before  moving  to

fresh air. Entering an enclosed space where

a generator is or has been running may put

you at greater risk of CO poisoning.
