SAFETY INFORMATION
DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE
Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon
monoxide. This is a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas that if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, or any partly enclosed area. Even if doors or
windows are open, deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. ONLY use
generators outside and far away from windows, doors and vents. These openings can pull in
generator exhaust. Operate at least 20 feet from occupied buildings. Even if you use a generator
correctly, carbon monoxide may leak into a home.
ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery-backup carbon monoxide alarm. If you start to feel
sick, dizzy or weak after the generator has been running, move to fresh air IMMEDIATELY. See
a doctor, as you could have carbon monoxide poisoning.
