1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 8-2019
6 A062J680 (Issue 2)Copyright © 2019 Cummins Inc.
Fuel lines must be adequately secured and free of leaks. Fuel connection at the
engine should be made with an approved flexible line. Do not use copper piping
on flexible lines because copper will become brittle if continuously vibrated or
repeatedly bent.
Be sure all fuel supplies have a positive shutoff valve.
Be sure the battery area has been well-ventilated prior to servicing near it.
Lead-acid batteries emit a highly explosive hydrogen gas that can be ignited by
arcing, sparking, smoking, etc.
Do Not Operate in Flammable and Explosive Environments
Flammable vapor can cause an engine to over speed and become difficult to stop,
resulting in possible fire, explosion, severe personal injury, and death. Do not
operate a generator set where a flammable vapor environment can be created,
unless the generator set is equipped with an automatic safety device to block the air
intake and stop the engine. The owners and operators of the generator set are
solely responsible for operating the generator set safely. Contact your authorized
Cummins distributor for more information.
Spillage
Any spillage that occurs during fueling, oil top-off, or oil change must be cleaned up
before starting the generator set.
Fluid Containment
NOTICE
Where spillage containment is not part of a Cummins supply, it is the
responsibility of the installer to provide the necessary containment to
prevent contamination of the environment, especially water courses and
sources.
If fluid containment is incorporated into the bedframe, it must be inspected at
regular intervals. Any liquid present should be drained out and disposed of in line
with local health and safety regulations. Failure to perform this action may result in
spillage of liquids which could contaminate the surrounding area.
Any other fluid containment area must also be checked and emptied, as described
above.
1.7 Batteries Can Explode
Batteries can explode, causing severe skin and eye burns and can release toxic
electrolytes.
