DANGER

CARBON MONOXIDE

Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.

Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a poison 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.

• NEVER use a generator inside homes, 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 outside and far away from windows, doors, and vents. These

openings can pull in generator exhaust.

Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a

battery-powered or battery-backup CO alarm in the home.

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 poison.

3.2 Operating Safety

BACKFEED FROM THE GENERATOR INTO THE PUBLIC POWER

DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR

DEATH TO UTILITY WORKERS!

Improper connection of generator to a building’s electrical system can

allow electrical current from the generator to backfeed into utility lines.

This may result in electrocution of utility workers, fire, or explosion.

Connections to a building’s electrical system must be made by a

qualified electrician and comply with all applicable laws and electrical

codes.

If connected to a building’s electrical system the generator must meet

the power, voltage, and frequency requirements of the equipment in

the building. Differences in power, voltage, and frequency

requirements may exist and improper connection may lead to

equipment damage, fire, and personal injury or death.

Familiarity and proper training are required for the safe operation of the

machine. Machines operated improperly or by untrained personnel

can be dangerous. Read the operating instructions contained in both

this manual and the Engine Manual and familiarize yourself with the

location and proper use of all controls. Inexperienced operators should

receive instruction from someone familiar with the machine before

being allowed to operate it.

3.2.1 NEVER operate the generator when open containers of fuel, paint, or

other flammable liquids are near.

3.2.2 NEVER operate the generator, or tools attached to the generator, with

wet hands.
