• 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.

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
