DANGER

CARBON MONOXIDE

Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.

Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a poison you cannot see or 
smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing CO. But even if you cannot 
smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.

NEVER use a generator 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 a generator outside and far away from windows, doors, and vents. These 
openings can pull in generator exhaust.

Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a 
battery-powered or battery-backup CO alarm in the home.

If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been running, move to fresh 
air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You could have carbon monoxide poison.
