Important Safety Instructions


DANGER: Carbon Monoxide. Using an engine
indoors can kill. Engine exhaust contains high
levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas
you cannot see or smell. You may be breathing
CO even if you do not smell engine exhaust.
NEVER use an engine 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 outdoors and far away from open
•
windows, doors and vents. These openings can
pull in engine exhaust.
• Even when the engine is used correctly, CO
may leak into your home. ALWAYS use a
battery-powered or battery backup CO alarm
in your house. Read and follow all directions
for CO alarm before using. If you feel sick,
dizzy or weak at anytime, move to fresh air
immediately. See a doctor. You could have carbon
monoxide poisoning.
