CO POISONING (CARBON MONOXIDE)
Generators give off carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can kill you. You CANNOT smell it,
see it, or taste it. ONLY run generator OUTDOORS and AWAY from building air intakes. NEVER
run generator inside any enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces. These
spaces can trap poisonous gases, EVEN if you run a fan or open windows.
ELECTRIC SHOCK / ELECTROCUTION
•
HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRICITY FROM GENERATOR CAN KILL.

tions. use only Australian approved outdoor rated grounded extension cords of proper
size.
•
NEVER PLUG THE GENERATOR DIRECTLY INTO A WALL OUTLET.
ANY connection to a
building’s electrical system MUST ISOLATE THE GENERATOR FROM MAINS.
POWER FIRE / EXPLOSION
