Using an engine indoors can kill you
in minutes. Engine exhaust contains
high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a
poisonous gas you cannot see or smell.
You may be breathing CO even if you
do not smell engine exhaust.
This product and its
exhaust contain chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer,
and birth defects or other reproductive
harm.

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 doors
does NOT supply enough fresh
air.
• ONLY use outdoors and far away
from open windows, doors and
vents. These openings can pull in
engine exhaust.
• Even when the engine is used cor-
rectly, CO may leak into your home.
ALWAYS use a battery-powered or
battery backup CO alarm in the
home. read and follow all direc-
tions for cO alarm before using.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy or
weak at anytime, move to fresh
air immediately. See a doctor. You
could have carbon monoxide poi-
soning.
