SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

BEFORE OPERATION

Do not operate the generator set in an enclosed area unless the exhaust gases are piped to the outside. Inhalation of

exhaust fumes may result in serious illness or death.

Do not smoke or use an open flame in the vicinity when servicing the batteries. Batteries generate hydrogen, a highly

explosive gas. When removing batteries, remove both negative "ground" cables before removing positive cables.

Do not operate the generator set unless the ground terminal stud has been connected to a suitable ground. Electrical

faults in the generator set, load lines, or load equipment can cause death by electrocution from contact with an

ungrounded system.

When filling the fuel tank, always provide metal-o-metal contact between the container and the fuel tank. This will

prevent a spark from being generated as fuel flows over the metallic surface.

Do not use a lifting device with a capacity of less than 12,000 pounds. Do not allow the crated generator set to swing

while it is suspended. Failure to observe this warning may result in serious injury or death to personnel.

Before making connections for parallel operation, be sure the generator sets are not operating and that all switches are

off. Electrical faults in the generator set, load lines, and load equipment can cause death by electrocution from contact

with an ungrounded system.

DURING OPERATION

Do not attempt to change a load connection or perform maintenance on the generator set while it is in operation.

Always be sure it is not connected to an energized line before performing maintenance. The voltage generated by this

equipment can cause death by electrocution.

AFTER OPERATION

Do not smoke or use an open flame in the vicinity when servicing the batteries. Batteries generate hydrogen, a highly

explosive gas.

Do not use a lifting device with a capacity of less than 12,000 pounds. Do not allow the crated generator set to swing

while it is suspended. Failure to observe this warning may result in serious injury or death to personnel.
