CARBON MONOXIDE SAFETY

Carbon Monoxide
Generators are very convenient, but they can also be very dangerous. All fuel- burning appliances and equipment release a poisonous gas called carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide (also known as CO) can be dangerous for humans and pets, even in small amounts, because it blocks oxygen from getting into your body. Carbon monoxide poisoning can lead t o death in a very short time. It i s odorless, tasteless and invisible, so you may be exposed without knowing it. That is why carbon monoxide is sometimes called “the silent killer.”
CO Alert
The CO Alert system was created to protect our customers and their families from dangerous carbon monoxide. Just like the detector for your home the CO Alert tests the air for t o keep you safe and healthy.
**WARNING
Automatic shutoff accompanied with a flashing RED light in the CO Sensor portion o f the control panel is an indication that the generator was improperly located. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, weak, or carbon monoxide detectors in your home indicate an alarm, get t o fresh air immediately. Call emergency services. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
Co Sensor Indicator Lights**

indicator light in the CO Sensor 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 sensor 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 o if 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 restarted, but may continue to shutoff.
