SAFETY
• Diesel fuel is combustible. Do not smoke or make/break electrical connections when diesel fumes are present.
• Keep ames, sparks, pilot lights, and arc-producing equipment and all other sources of ignition well away from
engine fuel.
• Fuel lines must be secured, free of leaks and separated or shielded from electrical wiring.
• Disable any automatic starting systems before performing inspections or service on the genset to avoid electric shock
from unexpected start.
• Generator electrical output connections must be made by a trained and experienced electrician in accordance with
applicable codes.
• The genset must not be connected to the public power utility or any other source of electrical power. Back-feed could
lead to electrocution of utility personnel and/or damage equipment. An approved switching device must be used to
prevent interconnections.
• Use caution when working with live electrical equipment. Remove jewelry, wear tight tting clothing, and only use
insulated tools.
• Electric shock can be deadly. Always insulate yourself from ground and never operate the genset when wet.
EXHAUST GAS IS DEADLY
GENERATOR VOLTAGE IS DEADLY
• Engine exhaust fumes can be very harmful if allowed to accumulate. Only operate the engine in a well-ventilated
area.
• Inspect for exhaust leaks at every startup and aer every eight hours of operation.
• Exposure to exhaust gases can cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Engine cooling air must not be used for heating working or living spaces or compartments.
• Disable any automatic starting systems before storing the genset in a conned area.
EXHAUST GAS IS DEADLY

• Wear safety glasses.
• Do not smoke near battery.
• To reduce arcing when disconnecting or reconnecting battery cables, always disconnect the negative (-) battery cable
rst and reconnect it last.
• Flammable vapor can cause an engine to over speed and become diicult to stop, resulting in possible re,
explosion, severe personal injury and death.
• Do not operate gensets where a ammable vapor environment can be created by fuel spill or leak.
BATTERY GAS IS EXPLOSIVE
FLAMMABLE VAPOR CAN CAUSE AN ENGINE TO OVERSPEED
• Exhaust gas can be extremely hot. Do not point toward people. Keep machine more than 1 meter (3 feet) from
ammable materials.
• Check for fuel leaks before each operation.
• Stop the engine before adding fuel to tank (where applicable)
• Anti-freeze coolant contains ethylene glycol, which is toxic to humans and animals. Clean up spills and dispose of
used engine coolant in accordance with local regulations.
• Disable any automatic starting systems before performing inspections or service on the genset to avoid unexpected
start.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry near moving parts such as fans, belts and pulleys.
• Keep hands away from moving parts.
MOVING PARTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH
