firing up one PORTABLE GENERATOR is like starting HUNDREDS OF CARS
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), one fuel-powered portable generator produces as much carbon monoxide (CO) as hundreds of combustion-engine cars.
Using a portable generator in your home, garage or too close to your home is like starting a parking lot full of cars and letting the CO poison seep into your home. And the devastating result is almost immediate: The CO from one generator can kill in minutes.
Using A Portable Generator Safely
1.Always use a generator at least 20 feet away from your home.
2.Never operate one inside a home, on a porch or near windows and doors.
3.The 20-foot rule also applies to other locations, such as a shed, cabin, camper or trailer.
4.When shopping for a generator, look for one that produces reduced emissions.
5.Also look for one that shuts o automatically when high levels of CO are present.
6.Keep your generator well-maintained and follow all manufacturer’s instructions.
7.Ensure CO detectors are installed on every level of your home and near or in bedrooms.
8.Test CO alarms monthly; also track their age. They need to be replaced every seven years.
