WARNING: Carbon Monoxide Hazard. Generators produce carbon monoxide (CO), a colorless, odorless, and poisonous gas. CO Shield® technology monitors CO accumulation and automatically shuts off the engine if unsafe levels are detected. However, CO Shield® is not a substitute for an indoor carbon monoxide alarm or for safe operation practices. ALWAYS use generators outdoors, far away from occupied buildings, with engine exhaust pointed away from people and structures. DO NOT allow engine exhaust fumes to enter confined areas through windows, doors, vents, or other openings.

హెచ్చరిక: ఎలక్ట్రికల్ షాక్ హజార్డ్. Never plug in any electrical devices or connect electrical loads while starting or stopping the generator. Always disconnect all electrical loads before starting or stopping the engine to prevent potential power surges or damage to sensitive electronics.

WARNING: Fuel Handling. Gasoline is highly flammable. Always handle fuel in a well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources. Store gasoline in approved containers.
