DANGER
Carbon monoxide. Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU
IN
MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a poison you cannot
see or
smell. If 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, 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 a generator outside and far away from windows, doors, and vents.
These openings can
pull
in
generator exhaust.
~
Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS
use a battery-powered or battery-backup CO alarm
in
the home.
~
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been running,
move to fresh air
RIGHT
AWAY.
See a doctor.
You
could have carbon monoxide
poison.
