English • NEVER use an engine inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT supply enough fresh air. • ONLY use outdoors and far away from open windows, doors and vents. These openings can pull in engine exhaust. • Even when the engine is used correctly, CO may leak into your home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery backup CO alarm (not supplied) in the home. Read and follow all directions for CO alarm before using. If you start to feel sick, dizzy or weak at anytime, move to fresh air immediately. See a doctor. You could have carbon monoxide poisoning.
