Exhaust Precautions

WARNING

Hot Exhaust Gases

Contact with hot exhaust gases can cause severe burns.

Wear personal protective equipment when working on equipment.

WARNING

Hot Surfaces

Contact with hot surfaces can cause severe burns.

The unit is to be installed so that the risk of hot surface contact by people is

minimized. Wear appropriate PPE when working on hot equipment and avoid

contact with hot surfaces.

WARNING

Toxic Gases

Inhalation of exhaust gases can cause asphyxiation and death.

Pipe exhaust gas outside and away from windows, doors, or other inlets to

buildings. Do not allow exhaust gas to accumulate in habitable areas.

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Contaminated insulation is a fire hazard. Fire can cause severe burns or

death.

Remove any contaminated insulation and dispose of it in accordance with

local regulations.

The exhaust outlet may be sited at the top or bottom of the generator set. Make

sure that the exhaust outlet is not obstructed. Personnel using this equipment must

be made aware of the exhaust position. Position the exhaust away from flammable

materials - in the case of exhaust outlets at the bottom, make sure that vegetation is

removed from the vicinity of the exhaust.

The exhaust pipes may have some insulating covers fitted. If these covers become

contaminated they must be replaced before the generator set is run.

To minimize the risk of fire, make sure the following steps are observed:

• Make sure that the engine is allowed to cool thoroughly before performing

maintenance or operation tasks.

• Clean the exhaust pipe thoroughly.
