ADANGER
CARBON MONOXIDE
Using a generator indoors WILL KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a
poisonous gas you cannot see or smell• tf you can smell the generator
exhaust, you are breathing CO. But even If you cannot smell the exhaust,
you could be breathing CO.
• NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, crawtspaces, 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 a generator outdoors and far away from open windows, doors,
and vents. These openings can pull in generator exhaust•
Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home.
AUv'VAYSuse a battery-powered or batten/-backup CO alarm in the home.
tf you start to feel sick_ dizzy, or weak after the generator has been running,
move to fresh air RIGHT AVVAktSee a doctor• You could have carbon
monoxide poisoning
