5 Maintenance
5.1 Maintenance Safety
WARNING
Automated Machinery
Accidental or remote starting of the generator set can cause severe personal
injury or death.
Isolate all auxiliary supplies and use an insulated wrench to disconnect the
starting battery cables (negative [–] first).
WARNING
Hydrogen Gas
Arcing can ignite explosive hydrogen gas given off by batteries, causing
severe personal injury or death. Arcing can occur when cables are removed
or replaced, or when the negative (–) battery cable is connected and a tool
used to connect or disconnect the positive (+) battery cable touches the
frame or other grounded metal part of the generator set.
Insulated tools must be used when working in the vicinity of the batteries.
Always remove the negative (–) cable first and reconnect last.
WARNING
Explosive Fumes
Arcing can ignite explosive fumes causing severe personal injury or death.
Make sure hydrogen from the battery, engine fuel and other explosive fumes
are fully dissipated before working on the generator set.
WARNING
Working at Heights
Using the incorrect equipment when working at heights can result in severe
personal injury or death.
Suitable equipment for performing these tasks must be used in accordance
with the local guidelines and legislation. Failure to follow these instructions
can result in severe personal injury or death.
