The
engine
exhaust
fumes
contain
carbon
monoxide
gas,
which
can
be
DEADLY.
This
dangerous
gas,
if
breathed
in
sufficient
concentrations,
can
cause
unconsciousness
or
even
death.
For
that
reason,
adequate
ventilation
must
be
provided.
Exhaust
gases
must
be
piped
safely
away
from
any
building
or
enclosure
that
houses
the
generator
to
an
area
where
people,
animals,
etc.,
will
not
be
harmed.
This
exhaust
system
must
be
installed
properly,
in
strict
compliance
with
applicable
codes
and
standards.

Never
remove
any
drive
belt
or
fan
guard
while
the
unit
is
operating.
•
Adequate,
unobstructed
flow
of
cooling
and
ventilating
air
is
critical
in
any
room
or
building
housing
the
generator
to
prevent
buildup
of
explosive
gases
and
to
ensure
correct
generator
operation.
Do
not
alter
the
installation
or
permit
even
partial
blockage
of
ventilation
provisions,
as
this
can
seriously
affect
safe
operation
of
the
generator.
•
Keep
the
area
around
the
generator
clean
and
uncluttered.
Remove
any
materials
that
could
