WARNING
Always follow Warning labels placed on the
generator, and read and follow all Warning
labels included inside the Product Manual.
WARNING: NEVER use a generator inside
a home or a garage, EVEN IF the doors
and windows are open.
ONLY USE OUTSIDE and far away from
windows, doors and vents leading into an
enclosed area.

minutes. The generator produces an
exhaust that contains carbon monoxide.
This is a poison you cannot see or smell.
Do not attach a chain or rope to secure the
generator to a post as this can be difficult to
remove in the event of an emergency.
