Generator Placement; Cold Weather Kit - Briggs & Stratton 40689 Manual De Instalación Y Operación

Generator Placement

Before installing the generator, consult with the owner
and convey the following requirements, which must be
satisfied before the installation is complete. There are two
equally important safety concerns in regards to carbon
monoxide poisoning and fire. There are also several general
location guidelines that must be met before the installation is
considered complete.
WARNING
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas
that could kill you in minutes. You cannot 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 outdoors in an area that will
not accumulate deadly exhaust gas.
• Direct exhaust gas away from any windows, doors,
ventilation intakes, soffit vents, crawl spaces, open
garage doors or other openings that can allow exhaust
gas to enter inside or be drawn into a potentially
occupied building or structure.
• Carbon monoxide detector(s) MUST be installed and
maintained indoors according to the manufacturer's
instructions/recommendations. Smoke alarms cannot
detect carbon monoxide gas.
• If you start to feel sick, dizzy, weak, or your carbon
monoxide alarm sounds while using this product, get to
fresh air right away. Call emergency services. You may
have carbon monoxide poisoning.
• 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.
