NOTICE
Ventilate the battery area before working on or near the battery. Wear
goggles. Stop the generator set and disconnect the battery charger before
disconnecting the battery cables using an insulated wrench. Disconnect the
negative (–) cable first and reconnect it last.
All maintenance tasks must be assessed for health and safety risks; the preventive
measures identified must be performed. An additional person is required for any
task where doing so significantly adds to the safety of the task.
The installation of a generator set can be designed for remote starting. When
troubleshooting a generator set that is shut down, make sure that the generator set
cannot be accidentally re-started. Refer to the Locking the Generator Set Out of
Service section.
4.2 Introduction
This section describes the operation of the generator set. The text should be read in
conjunction with the Control System section of this manual.
All indicators, control switches/buttons, and graphical display are located on the
face of the local and remote displays.
CAUTION
To avoid injury, be sure to read the instructions in the Operating the
Generator Set Cover Safely section before lifting the generator set cover.
4.3 Maintenance
To ensure maximum performance and reliability from your generator set, it is
essential that certain components are inspected periodically and, where necessary,
maintenance procedures are carried out, as detailed in the Maintenance chapter.
4.4 Generator Set Operation
WARNING
Combustible Vapors
Do not operate a generator set where there are or can be combustible
vapors.
These vapors can be sucked through the air intake system and cause engine
acceleration and overspeeding, which can result in a fire, an explosion,
personal injury and extensive property damage.
Correct care of your generator set will result in longer life, better performance, and
more economical operation.
