Important Safety Instructions
DANGER: Carbon Monoxide. Using an engine indoors can
kill you in minutes. 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 (not supplied) in the home. Read and follow all direc-
tions for CO alarm before using. If you start to feel sick, dizzy
or weak at anytime, move to fresh air immediately. See a doc-
tor. You could have carbon monoxide poisoning.
