Expired and damaged batteries should be sent back
to the battery supplier. Batteries could be recycled
,so that poisonous waste ,acid and lead are prevented
from polluting the environment.
1.6. Using Genset efficiently
To ensure the efficient fuel consumption;
• Ventilation of the Genset have to be done as de-
scribed in this Manual.
• Maintenance of the Genset should be done in time.
• Do not over load the Genset ,it will decrease engine
life. • Worn parts (pistons, piston rings, bearings, liners
etc.) should be replaced.
• Injectors should be clean and adjusted.
• Air filter should be clean.
• Engine valve adjustment should be done in time.
• Do not load the engine less than 30%of prime pow-
er, it will increase the fuel consumption , oil consump-
tion and damage the engine.
If above instructions are followed, Genset fuel con-
sumption efficiency will be increased.
2. GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2.1. General
The generator set is designed to be safe when used
in correct manner. However responsibility for safety
rests with the personnel who install, use and maintain
the set. If the following safety precautions are followed,
the possibility of
accidents will be minimized. Before performing any
procedure or operating technique, it is up to the user
to ensure that it is safe. The generator set should only
be operated by personnel who are authorized and
trained.
Warning
• Read and understand all safety precautions and
warnings before operating or performing maintenance
on the generating set.
• Failure to follow the instructions, procedures, and
safety precautions in this manual may increase the pos-
sibility of accidents and injuries.
• Do not attempt to operate the generator set with a
known unsafe condition.
• If the generator set is unsafe, put danger notices and
disconnect the battery negative (-) lead so that it can-
not be started until the condition is corrected.
• Disconnect the battery negative (-) lead prior to at-
tempting any repairs or cleaning inside the enclosure.
• Install and operate this generator set only in full com-
pliance with relevant National, Local or Federal Codes,
Standards or other requirements
2.2. Handling and Towing;
The following safety precautions should be noted:
Warning
• Make electrical connections in compliance with rel-
evant Electrical Codes, Standards or other require-
ments. This includes requirements for grounding and
ground/earth faults.
• For stationary generator sets with re-
mote fuel storage systems, make sure
such systems are installed in compliance
with relevant Codes, Standards or other
requirements.
• Engine exhaust emissions are hazard-
ous to personnel. The engine exhaust for all indoor
generator sets must be piped outdoors via leak-free
piping in compliance with relevant Codes, Standards
and other requirements. Ensure that hot exhaust si-
lencers and piping are clear of combustible material
and are guarded for personnel protection per safety
requirements. Ensure that fumes from the exhaust out-
let will not cause any hazard.
• Never lift the generator set from engine or alterna-
tor’s lifting lugs, instead use the lifting points on the
base frame.
• Ensure that the lifting rigging and supporting struc-
ture is in good condition and has a capacity suitable
for the load.
• Keep all personnel away from the generator set
when it is suspended.
• While carrying the Mobile Genset, obey all traffic
rules , consider all standards and other regulations.
• Do not allow anyone stand over the Mobile Genset,
While it is moving. Do not allow anyone stand be-
tween trailer and carrier.
• Do not install and run the Genset in area that clas-
sified as dangerous, if the Genset is not designed ac-
cording to that.
