NEUTRAL FLOATING
CO DETECT technology monitors the accumulation of
carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas produced by
engine exhaust when the generator is running. If CO
Sensor detects unsafe elevated levels of CO gas, it
automatically shuts off the engine. CO Sensor is not
a substitute for an indoor carbon monoxide alarm or
for safe operation. DO NOT allow engine exhaust
fumes to enter a confined area through windows,
doors, vents or other openings. Generators must
ALWAYS be used outdoors, far away from occupied
buildings with engine exhaust pointed away from
people and buildings. Meets the requirements of
ANSI/PGMA G300-2023.
CO TECHNICAL WARNING
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a
poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You
CANNOT smell it, see it, or taste it. Even if you do not
smell exhaust fumes, you could still be exposed to
carbon monoxide gas.
● Operate this product ONLY outside far away from
windows, doors and vents to reduce the risk of
carbon monoxide gas from accumulating and
potentially being drawn towards occupied spaces.
● Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or
plug-in carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-up
according to the manufacturer's instructions. Smoke
alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
POISONOUS GAS HAZARD
7
● DO NOT run this product inside homes, garages,
basements, crawlspaces, sheds, or other partially-
enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors
and windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can
quickly build up in these spaces and can linger for
hours, even after this product has shut off.
● ALWAYS place this product downwind and point the
engine exhaust away from occupied spaces. If you
start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this
product, shut it off and get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY.
See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide
poisoning.
● If you start to feel sick, dizzy or weak while using the
portable generator, you may have carbon monoxide
poisoning. Get out side to fresh air immediately and
emergency medical assistance.. Very high levels of
CO can rapidly cause victims to lose consciousness
before they can rescue themselves. DO NOT
attempt to shut off the generator before moving to
fresh air. Entering an enclosed space where a
generator is or has been running may put you at
greater risk of CO poisoning.
CO Sentry Indicator Lights
Red
Carbon monoxide has accumulated around the
generator. After shut-off, the RED indicator light in
the CO Sentry area of the control panel will flash to
provide notification that the generator was shutoff due
to an accumulating CO hazard. The RED light will
flash for at least five minutes after a CO shut-off.
Move the generator to an open, outdoor area far away
from occupied spaces with exhaust pointed away.
Once relocated to a safe area, the generator can be
restarted. Introduce fresh air and ventilate the area
where the generator had shut down.
Yellow
A CO Sentry system fault occurred. When a system
fault occurs, the generator is automatically shut down
and the YELLOW indicator light in the CO auto-shutoff
area of the control panel will flash to provide
notification that a fault has occurred. The YELLOW
light will flash for at least five minutes after a fault.
The generator can be re-started, but may continue to
shutoff.
