When Using a Generator: Keep Safety in Mind

(NAPSI)­—It’s good to have a home generator on hand when the power goes out, but it’s best to use it with safety in mind. For example, set it up away from your home. Never put it in the house, garage or carport, or near an open door or window. Use an outdoor rated extension cord. Install a working carbon monoxide detector. Use fuel that’s E10 or less and not more than 30 days old. And be sure to secure the generator against theft so you’ll have it when you need it. Learn more at OPEI.org.
