CARBON MONOXIDE - POISONOUS GAS Use generator outdoors, away from open windows, vents, or doors. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide - a poisonous gas that can kill you. You CAN NOT smell or see this gas. Never use a generator in enclosed or partially-enclosed spaces. Generators can produce high levels of carbon monoxide very quickly. When you use a portable generator, remember that you cannot smell or see carbon monoxide. Even if you can’t smell exhaust fumes, you may still be expo

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS This product must be grounded. It has permanent conductor between the generator (stator winding) and the frame. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for elec- tric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. DANGER - IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT- GROUNDING CONDUCTOR CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTROCUTION. CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR SERVICE PERSON IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT AS TO WHETHER THE UNIT IS PROPERLY
