Safety Warnings and Precautions
Carbon Monoxide Safety
Generator exhaust contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) vapors. Exposure to
Carbon Monoxide by people or pets can result in SEVERE INURY or
DEATH. ALWAYS operate generator according to guidelines in labels and
this manual.
• This portable generator runs on petrol. The generator exhaust vapor
contains carbon monoxide (CO).
• Carbon monoxide is odorless. You cannot smell it.
• Carbon monoxide is colorless. You cannot see it.
• Never run an engine in an enclosed area. Exhaust contains poisonous
carbon monoxide vapor that can cause loss of consciousness or death.
Operate the engine in an open, and well ventilated area. The generator
is for outdoor use only.
• Do not use the generator indoors in garages, basements, crawl spaces,
sheds, portable buildings, or similar areas even if doors and / or
windows are open or if ventilating fans are used to circulate air.
• Do not use the generator near windows, doors, vents or any other
building openings even if they are closed. Poor seals on a door, as just
one example, could still permit high levels of carbon monoxide to
infiltrate the living area of a home.
• Be sure to install approved carbon monoxide detectors in your home
that have battery back-up systems that will continue to detect the
presence of carbon monoxide during electric-power outages. Test
these devices and replace batteries as recommended by their
respective manufacturers.
• If you experience headache, fatigue, nausea / vomiting, confusion, or
seizures, immediately get to fresh air and away from the unit. Do not
delay for any reason.
• Do not run the generator directly on grass or with the exhaust pipe
close to plants or grass. Exhaust gas temperature will be high.
