CARBON MONOXIDE (EXHAUST GAS) CAN KILL YOU
Exposure to exhaust gases produces symptoms of headache, dizziness, loss of muscular
control, drowsiness, or coma. Brain damage or death can result from severe exposure.
Fumes from engine become concentrated with poor ventilation. Operate engine in a
ventilated area only.
While running engine, be alert for fumes. If someone is overcome, expose to fresh air;
keep warm and still; give artificial respiration if needed. Seek medical attention.
Administer oxygen, if available.
GOOD VENTILATION IS THE BEST DEFENSE AGAINST EXHAUST POISONING.
