DANGER:
CARBON MONOXIDE
Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU
IN MINUTES.

of carbon monoxide (CO
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.
NEVER use 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

SOME NOTES ABOUT POWER CORDS
Long or thin cords can drain the power
