IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER: Carbon Monoxide. Using an engine indoors can kill you in minutes. Engine exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell. You may be breathing CO even if you do not smell engine exhaust.

WARNING: This product and its exhaust contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects and other reproductive harm.

•NEVER use an engine 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 outdoors and far away from open windows, doors and vents. These openings can pull in engine exhaust.

•Even when the engine is used correctly, CO may leak into your home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery backup CO alarm in your house. Read and follow all directions for CO alarm before using. If you feel sick, dizzy or weak at anytime, move to fresh air immediately. See a doctor. You could have carbon monoxide poisoning.
