Generators release exhaust fumes containing harmful gases such as carbon monoxide. Therefore, it is essential to keep the generator outdoors when in use. Place the generator away from any doors and windows to prevent exhaust fumes from entering your home. Never operate the generator in a house, garage, basement, or any enclosed area.
Additionally, ensure the generator is protected from moisture, rain, and snow, as contact with water can cause electric shock.
Generator parts can become very hot during use, so always keep it away from any flammable materials. When in use, place the generator at least three feet away from any building.
