Operating a generator safely is paramount. Always follow these guidelines to prevent serious injury or death.

Ààbò Erogba Monoksidi (CO)

Generators produce carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. Operating a generator indoors or in partially enclosed spaces can lead to fatal carbon monoxide poisoning.

• Nigbagbogbo operate the generator outdoors in an open area, away from windows, doors, and vents.
• Ensure exhaust fumes are directed away from occupied buildings.
• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms in your home or any enclosed space where the generator's exhaust could potentially enter.
