1. SAFETY INFORMATION
Read and understand this operator’s manual before operating your
generator. It will help you avoid accidents if you are familiar with your
generator’s safe operation procedures.
WARNING
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a
poisonous gas that can kill you.
You CANNOT smell or see this gas.
• Use the generator outdoors, away from open windows, vents, or doors
that could allow the carbon monoxide gas to come indoors.
• Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from any structure or
building during use.
• NEVER use a generator indoors, including in homes, garages,
basements, crawl spaces, and other enclosed or partially-enclosed
areas, even with ventilation. Opening doors and windows or using fans
will not prevent carbon monoxide build-up in the home.
• NEVER use a generator in enclosed or partially-enclosed spaces.
Generators can produce high levels of carbon monoxide very quickly.
When you use a portable generator, remember that you cannot smell or
see carbon monoxide. Even if you can’t smell exhaust fumes, you may
still be exposed to carbon monoxide.
• NEVER operate the generator in an explosive atmosphere, near
exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes can cause serious injury or death.
• If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using a generator, get to
fresh air RIGHT AWAY. DO NOT DELAY. The carbon monoxide from
generators can rapidly lead to full incapacitation and death.
• If you experience serious symptoms, get medical attention immediately.
