GENERATOR SAFETY WARNINGS

DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE

Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monox-

ide (CO). This is a poison gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are

breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.

NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, crawl spaces, or other partially 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 a generator OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors, and

vents. These openings can pull in generator exhaust.

Even if you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or

battery-backup CO alarm in the home. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has

been running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
