Using The Device Safety
DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE
NEVER use an engine inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly
levels of carbon monoxide can build up quickly in these areas. Using a fan, or opening windows and/or
doors will NOT properly vent CO or supply adequate fresh air. ONLY run an engine outside and far
away from all windows, doors, and vents. These openings can pull in engine exhaust.
Using any internal combustion engine indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Engine exhaust
contains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a poison gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the
engine exhaust, you are breathing carbon monoxide (CO). Even if you don’t smell exhaust, you could
still be breathing CO.
Even if you use an engine 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 engine has been
running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING: The exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
