WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE (EXHAUST) CAN KILL YOU
Carbon monoxide is without color or smell, but can kill you. Breathing air with carbon monoxide
produces symptoms of headache, dizziness, loss of muscular control, a sleepy feeling, and coma.
Brain damage or death can result from heavy exposure. Carbon monoxide occurs in the exhaust
fumes of internal combustion engines. Carbon monoxide can become dangerously concentrated
under conditions of no air movement. Precautions must be followed to insure crew safety when
the engine is operated for any purpose.
