Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
WARNING POISONOUS GAS HAZARD.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
a poisonous gas that could kill you in
minutes. You CANNOT smell it, see it, or
taste it. Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you
could still be exposed to carbon monoxide gas.
• Operate this product ONLY outside far away from
windows, doors and vents to reduce the risk of carbon
monoxide gas from accumulating and potentially being
drawn towards occupied spaces.
• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or
plug-in carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-up
according to the manufacturer's instructions. Smoke
alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
• DO NOT run this product inside homes, garages,
basements, crawlspaces, sheds, or other partially-
enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors
and windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can
quickly build up in these spaces and can linger for hours,
even after this product has shut off.
• ALWAYS place this product downwind and point the
engine exhaust away from occupied spaces.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this
product, get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You
may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
