DANGER:
CARBON MONOXIDE
Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU
IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains high levels
of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous
gas 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.
or it may cause unconsciousness and
death within a short time. Operate the
engine in a well ventilated area.
NEVER operate a generator inside
houses, 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 a generator outdoors and far
away from open windows, doors, and
vents. These openings can pull in
generator exhaust.
Even if you use a generator correctly, CO
may leak into the house.ALWAYS use a
battery-powered or battery-backup CO
alarm in your house.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak
after the generator has been running,
move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a
doctor. You could have carbon monoxide
poisoning."
