IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
high levels of carbon monoxide (CO).
ONLY operate generators outside, in a well-
ventilated
area.
indoors, doing so CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
• Correct Use- See Figure 1. ONLY use generators
outside and downwind, far away from windows,
doors and vents. ALWAYS direct exhaust away from
occupied spaces. ALWAYS install battery-powered
carbon monoxide detectors or plug-in carbon mon-
oxide detectors with battery back-up in living areas.
• Incorrect Use- See Figure 2. NEVER use a gen-
erator in the home, garage, basement, attic, crawl
space or any other fully or partially enclosed area.
Areas such as these can allow dangerous levels of
carbon monoxide to accumulate. An open door or a
running fan WILL NOT provide adequate ventilation.
If feeling dizzy, weak, or sick while using the
generator, move to fresh air IMMEDIATELY. Contact
a doctor. This may be carbon monoxide poisoning.
DANGER
DO NOT connect to a building's electrical system
unless the generator and a transfer switch have
been properly installed and the electrical output
has been verified by a qualified electrician. The
connection must isolate the generator power from
utility power and must comply with all applicable
laws and electrical codes. Failure to properly isolate
the generator power could cause property damage
and create a dangerous backfeed of electricity
which could kill or seriously injure utility workers.
DANGER
use the generator in a location that is wet or damp.
NEVER expose the generator to rain, snow, water
spray, or standing water while in use. Protect the
generator from all hazardous weather conditions.
Moisture or ice can cause a short circuit or other
malfunction in the electrical circuit.

attic, crawl space or any other fully or partially enclosed
area. Areas such as these can allow dangerous levels
of carbon monoxide to accumulate. Carbon monoxide
(CO), an invisible, odorless, and extremely poisonous
gas CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
l Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors,
and vents as recommended by the US Department
of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. Some houses and/or wind
conditions may require additional distance.
l The National Electrical Code requires the use of a transfer
switch or other suitable transfer equipment whenever a
portable generator is connected to a building's electrical
system. Transfer switches isolate generator power from
utility power and prevent backfeeding of electric power
into the utility system.
NOTE: A transfer switch must be installed by a qualified
electrician in accordance with applicable electrical
codes. Some jurisdictions may require the installation
to be inspected by local authorities. Keep all relevant
installation, inspection, and maintenance information.
l Never use the generator to power medical support
