WARNING POISONOUS GAS HAZARD. Engine

exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous
gas that could kill you in minutes. You CANNOT
smell it, see it, or taste it. Even if you do not

smell exhaust fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon
monoxide gas.
Some chemicals or detergents could be harmful if inhaled
or ingested, resulting in death, serious injury, nausea,
fainting or poisoning.

• Operate this product ONLY outside far away from windows,

doors and vents to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide gas
from accumulating and potentially being drawn towards
occupied spaces.

• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in

carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-up according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. Smoke alarms cannot detect
carbon monoxide gas.

• DO NOT run this product inside homes, garages, basements,

crawlspaces, sheds, or other partially-enclosed spaces even if
using fans or opening doors and windows for ventilation.
Carbon monoxide can quickly build up in these spaces and can
linger for hours, even after this product has shut off.

• ALWAYS place this product downwind and point the engine

exhaust away from occupied spaces.

If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this product,
shut it off and get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You
may have carbon monoxide poisoning.

• Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that

vapors may be inhaled when using chemicals.

• Read all instructions with mask so you are certain the mask will

provide the necessary protection against inhaling harmful
vapors when using chemicals.
