Breathing   carbon   monoxide   gas   can   leads   to   fainting,   nausea   or   may   result   in   death.

   

 

Only   operate   engine   outdoors.

   

 

Prevent   exhaust   gas   from   entering,   through   windows   doors   or   ventilation   intakes,   any   confined   areas.

   

 

DO   NOT   operate   engine   inside   any   enclosed   or   roofed   areas.   This   includes   the   generator   compartment   of   any
