Operation CO PROTECT will detect the accumulation of Carbon Monoxide from other fuel burning sources such as engine powered tools or propane heaters used in the area of operation. For example, if another generator is used and the exhaust is pointed at a CO PROTECT equipped generator, CO PROTECT may initiate a shut- off due to rising CO levels. This is not an error. Hazardous Carbon Monoxide has been detected. The user must take action to move and re-direct these devices to better dissipate Carbon Monoxide far away from personnel and occupied buildings. ! ! !

Never operate in an enclosed area or indoors! NEVER use in the home, in a vehicle, or in partly enclosed areas such as garages, EVEN IF doors and windows are open! ONLY use out- doors and far from open windows, doors, vents, and in an area that will not accumulate deadly exhaust. The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which cannot be seen or smelled. The gas is poisonous, and if breathed in sufficient concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or even death. Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ventilating air is critical to gen- erator operation. Do not alter the installation or permit even partial blockage of ventilation provisions, as this can seriously affect safe operation of the generator. The generator MUST be operated outdoors. The exhaust system must be properly maintained. Do nothing that might render the exhaust system unsafe or in noncompliance with any local codes and/or standards. Always use a battery operated carbon monoxide alarm indoors. Be sure it is properly installed according to the manufacturers instruc- tions. Owner's Manual for Portable Generator 11
