CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARDS
!
DANGER
Generator exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a colorless, odorless,
poisonous gas. Breathing carbon
monoxide will cause nausea, dizziness,
fainting or death. If you start to
feel dizzy or weak, get to fresh air
immediately.
• The generator must be installed and operated outdoors
only. NEVER install the generator where exhaust fumes
could seep inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied
building through windows, air intake vents or other
openings.
• Avoid breathing exhaust fumes when near an operating
generator.
• NEVER alter or add to the exhaust system or do anything
that might render the system unsafe or in noncompliance
with applicable codes, standards, laws and regulations.
• Install a battery-operated carbon monoxide detector
on each level of any building adjacent to the generator
following the manufacturer’s instructions.
• NEVER permit even partial blockage of engine cooling
ventilation air. Doing so can seriously affect safe
operation of the generator.
Carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms include but are not
limited to the following:
• Light-headedness, dizziness
• Physical fatigue, weakness in joints and muscles
• Sleepiness, mental fatigue, inability to concentrate or speak
clearly, blurred vision
• Stomachache, vomiting, nausea
Carbon monoxide poisoning is possible if someone is
experiencing any of these symptoms. Seek fresh air immediately.
DO NOT sit, lie down or fall asleep. Alert others to the possibility
of carbon monoxide poisoning. If the affected person does
not improve within minutes of breathing fresh air, call 911
immediately.
