SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Thoroughly read the OPERATOR’S MANUAL
before operating the genset. Safe operation and
top performance can only be obtained when
equipment is properly operated and main-
tained.
The following symbols in this manual alert you to
potential hazards to the operator, service person
and equipment.
DANGER
alerts you to an immediate hazard
that will result in severe personal injury or
death.
WARNING
alerts you to a hazard or unsafe
practice that can result in severe personal inju-
ry or death.
CAUTION
alerts you to a hazard or unsafe
practice that can result in personal injury or
equipment damage.
When equipped with an integral or add−on Auto-
matic Generator Starting System (AGS) control,
exhaust carbon monoxide (CO), electric shock, and
moving parts hazards are possible due to unex-
pected starting. Turn off AGS whenever performing
maintenance or service, when the vehicle is stored
between uses, is awaiting service, or is parked in a
garage or other confined area.
ENGINE EXHAUST IS DEADLY
• Inspect for exhaust leaks at every startup and
after every eight hours of running.
• Learn the symptoms of carbon monoxide poi-
soning in the genset Operator’s Manual.
• Never sleep in the vehicle while the genset is
running unless the vehicle is equipped with a
working carbon monoxide detector.
• Do not operate the genset when the vehicle is
parked in a confined space, such as a garage.
• Disable the AGS feature of an inverter-charger
or other automatic starting device before stor-
ing the vehicle or parking it in a garage or other
confined space.
• The exhaust system must be installed in accor-
dance with the genset Installation Manual.
• Engine cooling air must not be used for heating
the vehicle.
GENERATOR VOLTAGE IS DEADLY
• Disable the automatic genset starting feature
(AGS) of an inverter-charger or other automat-
ic starting device before servicing the genset to
avoid electric shock from an unexpected start.
• Generator electrical output connections must
be made by a trained and experienced electri-
cian in accordance with applicable codes.
• The genset must not be connected to shore
power (utility). Back-feed to shore power can
cause electrocution and damage to equip-
ment. An approved switching device must be
used to prevent interconnections.
• Use caution when working on live electrical
equipment. Remove jewelry, make sure cloth-
ing and shoes are dry, stand on a dry wooden
platform or rubber insulating mat and use tools
with insulated handles.
DIESEL FUEL IS COMBUSTIBLE
• Do not smoke or turn electrical switches ON or
OFF where fuel fumes are present or in areas
sharing ventilation with fuel tanks or equip-
ment. Keep flames, sparks, pilot lights, arc-
producing equipment and all other sources of
ignition well away.
• Fuel lines must be secured, free of leaks and
separated or shielded from electrical wiring.
MOVING PARTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH
• Disable the automatic genset starting feature
(AGS) of an inverter-charger or other automat-
ic starting device before servicing the genset to
avoid unexpected starting.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry near
moving parts such as PTO shafts, fans, belts
and pulleys.
• Keep hands away from moving parts.
• Keep guards in place over fans, belts, pulleys,
and other moving parts.
