Carbon Monoxide Safety

Generator exhaust contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) vapors. Exposure to Carbon Monoxide by people or pets can result in SEVERE INURY or DEATH. ALWAYS operate generate according to guidelines in labels and this manual.

•This portable generator runs on petrol. The generator exhaust vapor contains carbon monoxide (CO).

•Carbon monoxide is odorless. You cannot smell it.

•Carbon monoxide is colorless. You cannot see it.

•Never run an engine in an enclosed area. Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide vapor that can cause loss of consciousness or death. Operate the engine in an open area, and well ventilated. The generator is for outdoor use only.

•Do not use the generator indoors in garages, basements, crawl spaces, sheds, portable buildings, or similar areas even if doors and / or windows are open or if ventilating fans are used to circulate air.

•Do not use the generator near windows, doors, vents or any other building openings even if they are closed. Poor seals on a door, as just one example, could still permit high levels of carbon monoxide to infiltrate the living area of a home.

•Be sure to install approved carbon monoxide detectors in your home that have battery back-up systems that will continue to detect the presence of carbon monoxide during electric-power outages. Test these devices and replace batteries as recommended by their respective manufacturers.

•If you experience headache, fatigue, nausea / vomiting, confusion, or seizures, immediately get to fresh air and away from the unit. Do not delay for any reason.

•Do not run the generator directly on grass or with the exhaust pipe close to plants or grass. Exhaust gas temperature will be high.
