2. do not operate the generator with protective covers, access covers, or terminal box
covers removed.
3. disable engine-starting circuits before carrying out maintenance.
4. disable closing circuits and place warning notices on any circuit breakers normally
used for connection to the mains or other generators to avoid accidental closure.
5. do not alter or adjust any part of the generator assembled and supplied by the
manufacturer.
6. always follow and complete scheduled engine and generator maintenance.
7. do not attempt to operate the generator when conditions are unsafe. disable the
generator until the unsafe condition is corrected.
8. Before performing any internal generator maintenance, remove the negative lead from
the batteries to prevent accidental starting.
9. operate the generator only when in full compliance with relevant local and national
electrical codes and standards.

Handling and Installation Precautions
1. all electrical work, including earth-ground connection, should be completed by a
licensed electrician.
2. any separate fuel storage generator supply facility, must be built or installed in full
compliance with relevant local, state, and federal regulations.
3. if the generator is installed indoors, exhaust fumes must be piped out of the building
using leak-free, heat-resistant piping. Pipes and silencer should not use any
flammable materials, nor should they be installed near the same. Generator exhaust
fumes should be within legal limits.
4. if the generator is installed outdoors, it must be weatherproofed and can be
soundproofed. it should not be run outdoors without weather protection to the
generator and wiring conduit.
5. never lift the generator using the engine or alternator lifting lugs. Connect lifting
equipment to the frame of the generator.
6. Before lifting the generator, ensure the lift rigging and supporting structure are in good
condition, and are rated to lift such a load.
7. keep all personnel away from the suspended generator during relocating.
8. The supporting floor should be level, and strong enough to safely hold the weight of
the generator. If the floor is not level, strong cross members should be placed under
the full length of the generator steel frame at its low side.
