CO Shield® - Proper Generator Location Operation

A portable generator must never be operated indoors or in any enclosed spaces. Always place the generator outdoors in an open area, at least five feet away from doors, windows, or vents. Ensure there is a minimum five-foot radius around the generator, free of combustible materials, to allow for proper ventilation and safe operation.

About CO Shield

Champion's CO Shield technology monitors the accumulation of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas produced by engine exhaust when the generator is running. If CO Shield detects unsafe elevated levels of CO gas, it automatically shuts off the engine. CO Shield is not a substitute for an indoor carbon monoxide alarm or for safe operation. DO NOT allow engine exhaust fumes to enter a confined area through windows, doors, vents or other openings. Generators must ALWAYS be used outdoors, far away from occupied buildings with engine exhaust pointed away from people and buildings. Meets the requirements of ANSI/PGMA G300-2018.
