fumes when working on or near the generator set. Never
operate the generator set inside a building unless the exhaust
gas is piped safely outside. Never operate the generator set

potentially occupied building or vehicle. Do not obstruct the
exhaust outlet when parking your vehicle. The exhaust gases
must discharge freely to prevent carbon monoxide from
deflecting into the vehicle.
