CO-SENSE®

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detection

and Shut-off System (if equipped)

The CO-SENSE module monitors for the

accumulation of poisonous CO gas found in

engine exhaust when the generator is running.

If CO-SENSE detects increasing levels of CO

gas, it automatically shuts off the engine. CO-

SENSE only monitors when the engine is run-

ning. Generators are intended to be used out-

doors, far from occupied buildings and the

exhaust pointed away from personnel and

buildings. However, if mis-used and operated

in a location that results in the accumulation of

CO, like indoors or in a partially enclosed

area, CO-SENSE shuts off the engine, notifies

the user of what has happened and directs the

user to read the instruction action label for

steps to take. See Figure 2-8. CO-Sense is not

a substitute for an indoor carbon monoxide

alarm.

See Figure 2-9. As the user approaches the

generator to investigate a shut-off, a blinking

RED light in the CO-SENSE badge on the

side of the generator provides notification that

the generator was shut off due to an accumu-

lating CO hazard. The RED light will blink for

at least five minutes after a CO shut-off. Move

the generator to an open, outdoor area and

point the exhaust away from people and occu-

pied buildings. Once relocated to a safe area,

the generator can be restarted and the proper

electrical connections made to supply electri-

cal power. The RED light will stop blinking

automatically upon engine re-start. Introduce

fresh air and ventilate the location where the

generator had shut down.

See Figure 2-9. If a CO-SENSE system fault

has occurred and no longer provides protec-

tion, the portable generator is shut off auto-

matically and the YELLOW light will blink for at

least five minutes in the CO-SENSE badge to

notify the user of the fault. The CO-SENSE

module can only be diagnosed and repaired

by a trained technician at the dealer. The gen-

erator can be re-started, but may continue to

shut-off.

CO-SENSE will detect the accumulation of

Carbon Monoxide from other fuel burning

sources such as engine powered tools or pro-

pane heaters used in the area of operation.

For example, if another generator is used and

the exhaust is pointed at a CO-SENSE

equipped generator, CO-SENSE may initiate

a shut-off due to rising CO levels. This is not

an error. Hazardous Carbon Monoxide has

been detected. The user must take action to

move and re-direct these devices to better dis-

sipate Carbon Monoxide far away from per-

sonnel and occupied buildings.
