OPERATION
DANGER
levels of carbon monoxide (CO), an invisible, odor-
less, and extremely poisonous gas. If you smell ex-
haust fumes, you are breathing carbon monoxide. But,
even if you do not smell exhaust fumes you may be
inhaling CO.
ONLY operate generators outside, in a well-ventilated
area. NEVER operate generators indoors, doing so
CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
• C orrect Use – Only use generators outside and
downwind, far away from windows, doors and vents.
Always direct exhaust away from occupied spaces.
Always install battery-powered carbon monoxide
detectors or plug-in carbon monoxide detectors with
battery back-up in living areas. See Figure 1.
• I ncorrect Use – NEVER use a generator in your
home, garage, basement, attic, crawl space or any
other fully or partially enclosed area. Areas such as
these can allow dangerous levels of carbon monoxide
to accumulate. An open door or a running fan WILL
NOT provide adequate ventilation. See Figure 2.
If you start feeling dizzy, weak, or sick while using the
generator, move to fresh air immediately. Contact a
doctor. You may be experiencing carbon monoxide
poisoning.

generator in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT place the
generator near vents or intakes where exhaust fumes
could be drawn into occupied or confined spaces.
Carefully consider wind and air currents when posi-
tioning the generator.
WARNING
the generator in a location that is wet or damp. Nev-
er expose the generator to rain, snow, water spray,
or standing water while in use. Protect the generator
from all hazardous weather conditions. Moisture or ice
can cause a short circuit or other malfunction in the
electrical circuit. Using a generator or electrical appli-
ance in wet conditions, such as rain or snow, or near a
pool or sprinkler system, or when your hands are wet,
could result in electrocution.
WARNING
generator on a solid, level surface. Operating the gen-
erator on a surface with loose material such as sand
or grass clippings can cause debris to be ingested by
the generator that could block cooling vents or the air
intake system. Allow the generator to cool for 30 min-
utes before transport or storage.
l Read and understand all safety information before starting
the generator (see pages 4 - 9).
l NEVER use a generator in your home, garage, basement,
attic, crawl space or any other fully or partially enclosed
area. Areas such as these can allow dangerous levels of
carbon monoxide to accumulate. Carbon monoxide (CO),
an invisible, odorless, and extremely poisonous gas CAN
KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
l DO NOT operate the generator in the back of a SUV,
camper, trailer, truck bed (regular, flat, or otherwise), under
stairs, next to walls or buildings, or in any other location
that will not allow for adequate cooling of the generator
and/or the muffler. Operating the generator in enclosed
or partially enclosed areas will allow dangerous levels of
CO to accumulate.
l DO NOT contain generators during operation.
l Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors,
and vents as recommended by the US Department of
Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention. Your specific home and/or wind conditions
may require additional distance.
l Do not operate the generator on an incline. The unit should
always be placed on a flat stable surface.
l The generator should be on a flat, level surface at all
times (even while not in operation).
l The generator must have at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance
from all combustible material.
