Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea, fainting or death.

•Operate generator ONLY outdoors.

•Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings.

•DO NOT operate generator inside any building or enclosure, including the generator compartment of a recreational vehicle (RV).

The generator must be at least 5 ft. (152 cm) from structures having combustible walls and/or other combustible materials. Leave at least 3 ft. (92 cm) all around generator including overhead, for adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing.

Place generator in a well ventilated area, which will allow for removal of deadly exhaust gas. DO NOT place generator where exhaust gas could accumulate and enter inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied building. Ensure exhaust gas is kept away from any windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings that can allow exhaust gas to collect in a confined area (Figure 3). Prevailing winds and air currents should be taken into consideration when positioning generator.
