Operational safety

DANGER
Carbon monoxide.
The application of a generator in buildings can
LEAD TO DEATH WITHIN MINUTES.
The exhaust fumes from the generator contain carbon monoxide (CO). This is an
invisible odorless poison. If the exhaust fumes of the generator can be smelled,
CO is being inhaled. Even if no exhaust fumes can be smelled, CO could still be
being inhaled.
NEVER use the generator in buildings, garages, crawl spaces or other

partially enclosed areas. Carbon monoxide can build up to deadly levels in
these areas. A fan or open window does NOT provide sufficient fresh air.
 ONLY use generators outdoors and far away from windows, doors and
aeration. These openings can draw in generator exhaust fumes.
 CO can penetrate into a home, even if a generator is used properly. ALWAYS
use a battery-powered or battery-backup CO alarm in the home.
IMMEDIATELY get to fresh air if you feel unwell, dizzy or weak after using

the generator. Consult a physician. It could be carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING
Electric shock or risk of fire or explosion. Incorrect connection of the generator to
a building's mains supply can lead to current being lead from the generator back
into the power supply system. This can cause electric shock, serious injury or death
of the worker in the public utility company!
 The following connection prerequisites are to be met.
