DANGER: Carbon Monoxide. Using an engine
indoors can kill you in minutes. Engine exhaust
contains high levels of carbon monoxide (CO),
a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell. You
may be breathing CO even if you do not smell
engine exhaust.

•
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 outdoors and far away from open windows,
doors and vents. These openings can pull in engine exhaust.
•
Even when the engine is used correctly, CO may leak into
your home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery

dizzy or weak at anytime, move to fresh air immediately.
