Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can quickly build up in these areas and can linger for hours, even after the generator has shut off. Follow the instructions that come with your generator. Locate the unit outdoors and far from recreational vehicles, tents, trailers, doors, windows, and vents that could allow carbon monoxide to come indoors. Get fresh air right away if you start to feel dizzy or weak. Fire Hazards: Never store fuel for your generator in recreational vehicles, tents or trailers. Gasoline, propane, kerosene and other flammable liquids should be stored outside of these areas in properly labeled, non-glass safety containers. Do not store them near a fuel-burning appliance, such as a natural gas water heater. Before refueling the generator, turn it off and let it cool down. Gasoline spilled on hot engine parts could ignite.
