2. Enfòmasyon sou Sekirite

AVÈTISMAN: Danje Monoksid Kabòn

Generators produce carbon monoxide (CO), an odorless, colorless, and poisonous gas. Operating a generator indoors or in partially enclosed spaces can lead to serious injury or death. ALWAYS operate the generator outdoors in a well-ventilated area, far away from windows, doors, and vents of occupied buildings. Ensure exhaust is directed away from people and buildings.

Your generator is equipped with CO Shield technology, an automatic shut-off system that detects unsafe elevated levels of carbon monoxide gas and automatically shuts off the engine. While CO Shield provides added protection, it is not a substitute for safe operation or an indoor carbon monoxide alarm.
