• 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.
WARNING:
This generator produces powerful voltage, which can result in
electrocution.
• ALWAYS ground the generator before using it (see the “Ground the Generator”
portion of the “Generator Preparation” section).
• Generator should only be plugged into electrical devices, either directly or with an
extension cord. NEVER connect to a building electrical system without a qualified
electrician. Such connections must comply with local electrical laws and codes.
Failure to comply can create a back-feed, which may result in serious injury or death
to utility workers.
• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in highly conductive areas such as
metal decking or steel work. GFCIs are available in-line with some extension cords.
• Do not use in rainy or wet conditions.
• Do not touch bare wires or receptacles (outlets).
• Do not allow children or non-qualified persons to operate.
CAUTION:
Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator before
attempting to start.
