attention.
• Never use indoors, in a covered area, or in a
confined space, even if the doors and windows
are open.
• Install a battery-operated carbon monoxide alarm
near bedrooms.
• Keep exhaust this unit produces from entering a
confined area through windows, doors, vents,
or other openings.
• When working in areas where vapors could
be inhaled, use a respirator rated for carbon
monoxide protection.
The engine exhaust contains chemicals
that can cause cancer and birth defects.
To reduce the risk of serious injury, use
