DANGER
Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison 
you cannot see or smell.
NEVER use inside a home 
or garage, EVEN IF doors 
and windows are open.
ONLY use OUTSIDE and 
far away from windows, 
doors, and vents.
WARNING
POISONOUS GAS HAZARD: Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, 
a poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You CAN NOT 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 outside 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 backup according to the manufacturer's 
instructions. Most 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, shut it off and get to fresh air IMMEDIATELY - 
then see a doctor; you may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
