Before starting the inverter generator there are two
equally important safety concerns regarding carbon
monoxide poisoning and fire that must be addressed.
THE RISK OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
WARNING! Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you in
minutes. You cannot smell it, see it, or taste it.
Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be
exposed to carbon monoxide gas.
• Operate this product only outdoors far away from
windows, doors and vents to reduce the risk of carbon
monoxide gas from accumulating and potentially being
drawn towards occupied spaces.
• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or
plug-in carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-up
according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Smoke
alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
• Do not run this product inside homes, garages,
basements, crawlspaces, sheds, or other partially-
enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors
and windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can
quickly build up in these spaces and can linger for
hours, even after this product has shut off.
• Always place this product downwind and point the
engine exhaust away from occupied spaces.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this
product, get to fresh air right away. See a doctor. You
may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE
WARNING! Exhaust heat/gases could ignite
combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank
causing a fire, resulting in death or serious injury.
• Portable generator must be at least 1.5 m (5 ft.) from
any structure, overhang, trees, windows, doors, any
wall opening, shrubs, or vegetation over 30.5 cm (12
in.) in height.
• Do not place portable generator under a deck or
other type of structure that may confine airflow.
Smoke alarm(s) must be installed and maintained
indoors according to the manufacturer’s instructions/
recommendations.
• Carbon monoxide alarms cannot detect smoke.
• Do not place portable generator in manner other than
shown.
