IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 DANGER: Carbon Monoxide. Using an engine indoors can kill you in 

minutes. Engine exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a 

poisonous gas you cannot see or smell. You may be breathing CO even if you 

do not smell engine exhaust.   

• 

NEVER

 

use an engine inside homes, garages, crawlspaces or other partly 

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 outdoors and far away from open windows, doors and vents. These 

openings can pull in engine exhaust.

•   Even when the engine is used correctly, CO may leak into your home. 

ALWAYS 

use 

a battery-powered or battery backup CO alarm in your house. 

Read and follow all 

directions for CO alarm before using.

 

If you feel sick, dizzy or weak at anytime, 

move to fresh air immediately. See a doctor. You could have carbon monoxide 

poisoning.
