Using a generator indoors WILL KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Carbon Monoxide
Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous
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 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 outdoors and far away from open 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 poisoning.

General Precautions (cont’d)
Gasoline and Oil (cont’d)
Excessive buildup of unburned fuel gases in the exhaust system can
create a potentially explosive condition. This buildup can occur after
repeated failed start attempts, valve testing, or hot engine shutdown. If
this occurs, open exhaust system drain plugs, if equipped, and allow the
gases to dissipate before attempting to restart the generator.
Hot Components
WARNING! ENGINE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM PARTS BECOME VERY
HOT AND REMAIN HOT FOR SOME TIME AFTER THE ENGINE IS RUN.
WEAR INSULATED GLOVES OR WAIT UNTIL THE ENGINE AND
EXHAUST SYSTEM HAVE COOLED BEFORE HANDLING THESE
PARTS.

Electrical Safety
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and
ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs.
Grounding provides a low-resistance path to carry electricity away from
the user in the event of an electrical malfunction.
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug where one
blade is wider than the other. This plug fits in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do
not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need
for the three-wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
Do not expose generator to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
generator will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the power cord. Keep power cords away from heat, oil,
sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged power cords
immediately. Damaged power cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord
marked “W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use,
and reduce the risk of electric shock.
All connections and conduits from the generator to the load must only be
installed by trained and licensed electricians, and in compliance with all
relevant local, state, and federal electrical codes and standards, and
other regulations where applicable.
The generator must be earth-grounded for fixed installations in
accordance with all relevant electrical codes and standards before
operation.
Do not attempt to connect or disconnect load connections while standing
in water, or on wet or soggy ground.
Do not touch electrically energized parts of the generator and
interconnecting cables or conductors with any part of the body,or with
any non-insulated conductive object.
