4.3 Generator Set Operation
WARNING
Combustible Vapors
Do not operate an engine 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 engine will result in longer life, better performance, and more
economical operation.
Cummins Inc. does not know how you will use your generator set. The equipment
owner and operator, therefore, is responsible for safe operation in the installation
site environment. Consult your authorized Cummins dealer for further information.
