CO Shield technology monitors the accumulation of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas produced by engine exhaust. If CO Shield detects unsafe, elevated CO, it automatically shuts off the engine. CO Shield is not a substitute for an indoor carbon monoxide alarm or for safe operation. Never allow engine exhaust to enter a confined area through windows, doors, vents or other openings. Generators must ALWAYS be used outdoors, far from occupied buildings with engine exhaust pointed away from people and buildings. Meets ANSI/PGMA G300 requirements.
