Read and follow all Safety Precautions, Warnings, and Cautions throughout
this manual and the documentation supplied with the generator set.
1.4 Moving Parts Can Cause Severe Personal
Injury or Death
• Keep hands, clothing, and jewelry away from moving parts.
• Before starting work on the generator set, disconnect the battery charger from
its AC source, then disconnect the starting batteries using an insulated wrench,
negative (–) cable first. This will prevent accidental starting.
• Make sure that fasteners on the generator set are secure. Tighten supports and
clamps; keep guards in position over fans, drive belts, etc.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry in the vicinity of moving parts or while
working on electrical equipment. Loose clothing and jewelry can become
caught in moving parts.
• If any adjustments must be made while the unit is running, use extreme caution
around hot manifolds, moving parts, etc.
1.5 Electrical Shocks and Arc Flashes Can Cause
Severe Personal Injury or Death
• Only qualified service personnel certified and authorized to work on power
circuits should work on exposed energized power circuits.
• All relevant service material must be available for any electrical work performed
by certified service personnel.
• Exposure to energized power circuits with potentials of 50 VAC or 75 VDC or
higher poses a significant risk of electrical shock and electrical arc flash.
• Refer to standard NFPA 70E, or equivalent safety standards in corresponding
regions, for details of the dangers involved and for safety requirements.
1.6 Fuel and Fumes Are Flammable
Fire, explosion, and personal injury or death can result from improper practices.
• DO NOT permit any flame, cigarette, pilot light, spark, arcing equipment, or
other ignition source near the generator set or fuel system.
