CARBON MONOXIDE - POISONOUS GAS
Use generator outdoors, away from open windows, vents, or doors.
Keep generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from any structure or
building during use.
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide - a poisonous gas that
can kill you. You CAN NOT smell or see this gas.
Never use a generator in enclosed or partially-enclosed spaces. Gener-
ators can produce high levels of carbon monoxide very quickly. When
you use a portable generator, remember that you cannot smell or see
carbon monoxide. Even if you can’t smell exhaust fumes, you may still
be exposed to carbon monoxide.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using a generator, get to
fresh air RIGHT AWAY. DO NOT DELAY. The carbon monoxide from
generators can
rapidly lead to full
incapacitation and
death.
If you experience
serious symptoms,
get medical atten-
tion immediately.
Inform medical staff
that carbon mon-
oxide poisoning is
suspected. If you
experienced symptoms while indoors, have someone call the fire de
-
partment to determine when it is safe to re-enter the building.
Never operate the generator in an explosive atmosphere, near com-
bustible materials or where ventilation is not sufficient to carry away
exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes can cause serious injury or death.
NEVER use a generator indoors, including in homes, garages, base-
ments, crawl spaces, and other enclosed or partially-enclosed areas,
even with ventilation. Opening doors and windows or using fans will
not prevent carbon monoxide build-up in the home.
Follow the instructions that come with your generator. Locate the unit
outdoors and away from doors, windows, and vents that could allow
the carbon monoxide gas to come indoors.
ONLY run generator outdoors and away from air intakes.
NEVER run generator inside homes, garages, sheds, or other semi-en-
closed spaces. These spaces can trap poisonous gases EVEN IF you
run a fan or open doors and windows.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using the generator, shut if
off and get fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon
monoxide poisoning.
Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon
monoxide alarms with battery back-up in your home, according to the
manufacturer’s installation instructions. The carbon monoxide alarms
should be certified to the requirements of the latest safety standards
for carbon monoxide alarms. (UL 2034, IAS 6-96, or CSA 6.19.01).
Test your carbon monoxide alarm frequently and replace dead
batteries.
