2. Informació de seguretat

Operating a generator safely is paramount. Always follow all safety warnings and instructions provided in this manual.

2.1 Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alert System

This generator is equipped with a built-in CO Alert system. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and poisonous gas. The CO Alert system is designed to detect hazardous levels of carbon monoxide and automatically shut down the engine to prevent CO accumulation around the generator. If the CO Alert indicator light illuminates, move the generator to an open, well-ventilated area immediately and allow it to cool before attempting to restart.
