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.
4. Read and understand the meanings of all warning and operating labels.
5. Make sure that a battery has been installed. See Technical Data.

generator is being run for the first time, fill the battery cells with acid.

gas mixture. The use of gasohol or any fuel containing more than 10% ethanol
