dizziness, nausea, confusion and eventually death.
The carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless gas
which may be present even if you do not see or smell any
engine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can
lay for hours or day in inclosed or poorly ventilated areas.

poisoning, leave the area immediately, get fresh air and
SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT.

engine exhaust with fans or open windows and doors,
carbon monoxide can rapidly reach dangerous levels.

areas such as barns, garages, basements,carports, under
dwellings or pits.
NEVER run engines outdoors where engine exhaust can
be dawn into a building through openings such as windows
