2.5kVA Inverter Generator VF2200IG
Outdoors only
Follow the directions below for choosing a location to operate your generator in order to
avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
• The location you choose to operate the generator must be OUTDOORS and away from
all building air intakes: •Never run the generator inside any closed or semi-enclosed
spaces (even if outdoors), including homes, garages, basements, sheds, or boxes.
These spaces can trap poisonous gases, even if you run a fan or open windows.
• Place the generator so that the exhaust fumes will not be directed towards people or
building air intakes.
• Ensure that working, battery-operated or battery back-up carbon monoxide alarms are
used in any dwelling/structure that is in close proximity to the running generator.
Note that this generator is NOT designed or approved for use in vehicles or marine
applications. Never run the generator inside RVs or other vehicles, on boats, or on pick-
up truck beds.
!
WARNING
The exhaust from your generator contains
carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas that
can kill. You cannot smell it, see it, or taste it.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause loss of
consciousness and may lead to death. Never
run your generator in enclosed or even partially
enclosed areas or near open windows or doors.
Never attempt to attach ductwork to the
muffler system to allow for installation inside
an enclosure. This could cause hot air, heat
build-up and increased exhaust back-pressure,
resulting in possible exhaust leakage or
damage to the generator.
Adequate cooling ventilation
• The generator needs adequate, unobstructed flow of air to allow for proper cooling of
engine and generator head.
• Never place the generator immediately adjacent to a building or other structure – allow
at least 2 metres clearance.
• Do not run the generator in close proximity to other heat-generating equipment, such
as another generator. The combined heat that is generated may raise air temperature
in the immediate area and there will not be adequate cooling ventilation.
• Do not allow debris to accumulate and block airflow.
