DANGER! Carbon Monoxide. Using a generator indoors
CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide
(CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell. If you can
smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing CO. But even if
you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.
• Never use a generator 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 a generator outdoors and far away from open
windows, doors, and vents. These openings can pull in
generator exhaust.
Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into
the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery-backup
CO alarm in the home. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or
weak after the generator has been running, move to fresh air
RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You could have carbon monoxide
poisoning.
