Bypassing the CO (Carbon Monoxide) Sensor

At DuroMax, safety is our top priority. For this reason, we cannot provide instructions or guidance on how to bypass, disable, or modify the CO (Carbon Monoxide) sensor on any DuroMax generator or related equipment.

The CO sensor is a critical safety feature designed to help protect users from the dangers of carbon monoxide exposure.

Why the CO Sensor Is Important

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and potentially deadly gas produced when fuels such as gasoline, propane, or diesel are burned in an engine.

If a generator is operated in an enclosed or poorly ventilated area, carbon monoxide can accumulate quickly, posing serious health risks including:

• Severe illness

• Loss of consciousness

• Death

The CO sensor helps prevent these dangers by monitoring carbon monoxide levels and automatically shutting down the generator if unsafe conditions are detected.

Important Safety and Warranty Notice

Tampering with, disabling, or bypassing the CO sensor may:

• Void the manufacturer’s warranty

• Cause the generator to malfunction or operate unsafely

• Violate safety regulations established by organizations such as:

  • Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)

  • Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

• Lead to serious legal or liability issues if injury or property damage occurs

Safe Generator Operation

Generators should always be operated:

• Outdoors only

• In a well-ventilated area

• At least 20 feet away from windows, doors, and vents

Following these guidelines helps reduce the risk of carbon monoxide exposure.
