VENTILATION

DANGER: Use only in well- vented areas. Make sure area has plenty of free-moving, fresh, outside air. Never run generator in an enclosed or confined area. Never run generator inside oc- cupied building. Engine exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas. Overexposure will cause loss of consciousness and will lead to death.

This generator needs cooling air to run prop- erly. Never block free-flowing, cooling air to generator. Overheating will occur without cooling air. This will damage the generator. Keep generator at least three feet away from any object.

DUST, DIRT, RAIN,

AND SNOW

WARNING:Donotuse genera- tor outdoors in rain or snow. Do not use generator near standing water or snow. Do not use if gen- erator is wet or damp. Operating generator in these conditions increases the risk of electrocu- tion. Severe injury or death can occur.

Do not use generator in extremely dusty or dirty conditions. This will severely affect its life. Keep generator clean. Do not allow dust, dirt, rain, or snow to collect on it. Protect generator from outdoor elements.
