Never operate the generator in enclosed or partially enclosed spaces. 发电机可以很快产生高浓度的一氧化碳，这可能是致命的. 发电机运行时，在附近封闭空间使用一氧化碳探测器监测空气质量. -
在没有安装合适的转换开关的情况下，不要将发电机直接连接到家用电线上. 直接连接到家庭电线的发电机产生的电力会沿着电线反向反馈，并使任何与之接触的人触电身亡, including linemen making repairs. -
Do not overload the generator. A portable generator should be used only when necessary, and only to power essential equipment or appliances.
