DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE
Using an engine indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide (CO). This is a poison gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the engine exhaust, you are
breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.
NEVER use an engine inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels
of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan, or opening windows and/or doors will NOT
properly vent CO nor supply adequate fresh air. ONLY use an engine outside and far away from
windows, doors, and vents. These openings can pull in engine exhaust.
