Safety Rules & General Information
Owner’s Manual for Stationary Diesel Generators 3
• Generator may crank and start at any time when
utility power is lost. When this occurs, load circuits
are transferred to STANDBY (generator) power
source. Before working on generator, always set
main line circuit breaker (MLCB) switch on control
panel to OFF (OPEN), press OFF key on control
panel keypad, remove the 7.5 amp fuse, and dis-
connect negative battery cable (black) from nega-
tive (-) battery terminal.
Fire Hazards
Comply with regulations the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) has established, or with
equivalent standards. Also, verify that the unit is applied,
used, and maintained in accordance with the manufac-
turer's instructions and recommendations. Do nothing
that might alter safe application/usage and render the
unit in noncompliance with the aforementioned codes,
standards, laws, and regulations.
Explosion Hazards
NOTE: If this generator is used to power electrical load
circuits normally powered by a utility power source, it is
required by code to install a transfer switch. The transfer
switch must effectively isolate the electrical system from
the utility distribution system when the generator is
operating (NEC 702). Failure to isolate an electrical
system by such means will result in damage to the
generator and also may result in injury or death to utility
power workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.

with all local, state, and national electrical
(000218)
building codes. Noncompliance could result in unsafe
operation, equipment damage, death or serious injury.
