ALERT!

Warning Alert! The generator

Monoxide i
s detected.
Carbon monoxide (also
known as CO) can be dangerous for humans and
pets. Carbon monoxide poisoning can lead to death
in a very short time. It is called “the silent killer”
because it is odorless, tasteless and invisible: you
may be exposed without knowing it.
READ MANUAL FOR COMPLETE CO WARNING INSTRUCTIONS!

NOTE: The indicator will light RED and the engine will shutdown if dangerous Carbon Monoxide
levels are detected. The engine will not
restart for 5 minutes. If an error in the carbon monoxide system is
detected,
the indicator will blink YELLOW and the engine will shutdown for five minutes.
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 way from
windows, doors and vents leading into an
enclosed area.
Using a generator indoors can kill you in
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.
IF THERE IS ANY QUESTION ABOUT A
CONDITION BEING SAFE OR UNSAFE,
