When Using A Generator: Keep Safety In Mind

(NAPSI)—Generators are pretty handy when the weather is bad but it’s generally a good idea to follow a few simple safety rules about using one, advise the experts at the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI). First, never use it inside the house, garage or any other enclosed space. Next, install a working carbon monoxide detector. Use the right fuel, ideally E10 or less, and make sure it’s fresh. Use an outdoor rated extension cord only and be sure it’s long enough that you can set up the generator a safe distance from the house. Learn more at WeatherItBetter.com.
