CAUTION
Before performing maintenance and service procedures on enclosed generator sets,
make sure the service access doors are secured open.
CAUTION
Keep the generator set and the surrounding area clean and free from obstructions.
Remove any debris from the set and keep the floor clean and dry.
NOTICE
Keep multi-class ABC fire extinguishers handy. Class A fires involve ordinary
combustible materials such as wood and cloth. Class B fires involve combustible and
flammable liquid fuels and gaseous fuels. Class C fires involve live electrical
equipment. (Refer to NFPA No. 10 in applicable region.)
2.2 Generator Set Safety Code
Before operating the generator set, read the manuals and become familiar with them and the
equipment. Safe and efficient operation can be achieved only if the equipment is properly
operated and maintained. Many accidents are caused by failure to follow fundamental rules
and precautions.
WARNING
Improper operation and maintenance can lead to severe personal injury, or loss of life and
property, by fire, electrocution, mechanical breakdown, or exhaust gas asphyxiation. Read and
follow all Safety Precautions, Warnings, and Cautions throughout this manual and the
documentation supplied with your generator set.
WARNING
Lifting and repositioning of the generator set must only be carried out using suitable lifting
equipment, shackles, and spreader bars, in accordance with local guidelines and legislation, by
suitably trained and experienced personnel. Incorrect lifting can result in severe personal injury,
death, and/or equipment damage. For more information, contact your authorized distributor.
2.3 Electrical Shocks and Arc Flashes Can Cause Severe Personal
Injury or Death
WARNING
Any work with exposed energized circuits with potentials of 50 Volts AC or 75 Volts DC or higher
poses a significant risk of electrical shock and electrical arc flash. These silent hazards can
cause severe injuries or death. Refer to standard NFPA 70E or equivalent safety standards in
corresponding regions for details of the dangers involved and for the safety requirements.
Guidelines to follow when working on de-energized electrical systems:
• Use proper PPE. Do not wear jewelry and make sure that any conductive items are
removed from pockets as these items can fall into equipment and the resulting short circuit
can cause shock or burning. Refer to standard NFPA 70E for PPE standards.
