CO SENSOR SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES



NEVER ignore an automatic shutoff event. IF AUTOMATIC

SHUTOFF OCCURS – YOU MUST leave the area imme-

diately and relocate to an open outdoor area. Ventilate

the area thoroughly before occupying again. Ensure the

generator is located in an open, outdoor area. Always

point exhaust away from occupied structures. Never

run the generator in enclosed areas (e.g. not in a house

or garage). Failure to follow these instructions can lead

to carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning which can result in

death or serious personal injury.



The carbon monoxide sensor on this generator is not

designed to detect smoke, fire, or any other gas. It will

only activate due to the presence of carbon monoxide

gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present

in other areas.



The carbon monoxide shutoff feature on this generator

is not a substitute for safe generator practices. Always

operate the generator in open, outdoor areas, at least

20 feet away from occupied structures. Never operate the

generator in fully or partly enclosed areas or near open

windows, doors, or other unventilated spaces.



DO NOT tamper with, adjust, or modify the carbon mon-

oxide (CO) sensor module on your generator. Failure to

follow these instructions can cause the monitor to mal-

function which can result in death or serious personal

injury.

SAFETY LABELS

These additional safety labels are located on your generator.

If any of the labels come off

the unit or become hard to read, contact customer service or a qualified service center for

replacement.

CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) SENSOR

In the event of a carbon monoxide hazard, the LED on the CO

sensor will flash red and the generator will shut off. Leave the area

immediately and relocate to an open outdoor area. Ventilate the

area thoroughly before occupying again. Ensure the generator is

located in an open, outdoor area. Always point exhaust away from

occupied structures. Never run the generator in enclosed areas

(e.g. not in a house or garage).

DO NOT tamper with, adjust, or modify the carbon monoxide (CO)

sensor module on your generator.

This generator includes a carbon monoxide sensor. In addition to all the rules, warn-

ings, and instructions contained in your generator operator’s manual, please also read

and understand the information included in this CO sensor addendum. If you loan

someone this product, loan them this addendum also.

CARBON MONOXIDE SENSOR WITH AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF

The generator’s carbon monoxide sensor is designed to monitor the level of carbon

monoxide present during generator operation. If the generator is positioned incor-

rectly and carbon monoxide levels rise to an unsafe level, the LED on the sensor will

flash red and the generator will automatically shut down. Leave the area immediately

and relocate to an open outdoor area. Ventilate the area thoroughly before occupying

again. Ensure the generator is located in an open, outdoor area and point exhaust

away from occupied structures before restarting.

NOTE:

After a shutoff event has occured, the LED will continue to flash red for up to

20 minutes. Once the generator is relocated and CO levels are safe, the generator

can be restarted even if the light is still flashing.
