COSENSE Carbon Monoxide Detection and Shutdown
The GO18000EFI generator is for outdoor use only, positioned away from homes and other buildings, with the exhaust pointed away from any persons or buildings.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is an odorless, invisible gas produced by internal combustion engines and any device that burns a fuel to produce heat or energy. This generator is equipped with a carbon monoxide sensor that shuts the generator down when it detects rising CO levels above a preset threshold. The COSense shutdown feature adds an extra measure of safety to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning caused by misuse.
Generac states that the 8917 GP18000EFI generator may NOT run indoors. Know your generator—read the owner manual.
