1.5 Generator Set Voltage Is Deadly

• Generator set output connections must be made by a trained and experienced

electrician in accordance with all applicable codes.

• This generator set and the public utility may only be connected to house circuits

by means of the automatic transfer switch.

CAUTION

Improper connections can lead to electrocution of utility workers and

damage to equipment. Make sure that the connections are installed

properly by a trained technician.

• Use caution when working on live electrical equipment. Remove jewelry, and

make sure clothing and shoes are dry. Stand on a dry wooden platform.

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.

• 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.
