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.
• 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.
