For trailer installation, the generator must be mounted on the center point of the trailer,
over the wheels.
10.
Install sound and weather proofing only when it is not raining or snowing to avoid
trapping moisture within the generator.
Fire and Explosion Precautions
1.
Generator fuel and fumes are flammable, and potentially explosive. Use proper fuel
storage and handling procedures. Always have multiple ABC class fire extinguishers
nearby.
2.
The generator room must be adequately ventilated. Exhaust fumes must be piped to
the outdoors.
3.
Keep the generator, surrounding floors, and room clean at all times.
4.
When spills of fuel, oil, battery electrolyte, or coolant occur, they must be cleaned up
immediately. Dispose of fluids and cleaning materials as per any local, state, or
federal codes and regulations. Store oil rags in a covered metal container.
5.
Never store fuel or other flammable materials near the generator.
6.
Do not smoke, or allow sparks, flames or other sources of ignition around the engine,
fuel tanks, or batteries. Fuel vapors are explosive. While charging, batteries emit
hydrogen gas which is highly explosive.
7.
Turn off or disconnect the power to the battery charger before making or breaking
connections with the battery. Otherwise, sparking will occur.
8.
Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live electrical
parts and connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These events could ignite fumes or
vapors.
9.
Do not refill the generator fuel tank of the bed frame while the engine is running.
10.
Do not operate the generator with known leaks in the fuel system.
11.
Excessive buildup of unburned fuel gases in the exhaust system can create a
potentially explosive condition. This buildup can occur after repeated failed start
attempts, valve testing, or hot engine shutdown. If this occurs, open exhaust system
drain plugs, if equipped, and allow the gases to dissipate before attempting to restart
the generator.
12.
Use only engine manufacturer’s recommended fuel, oil, and cooling fluids (see engine
manufacturer’s instruction manuals).
