1.5.7 Cautions against burns and battery explosion
To avoid burns, be cautious of hot components, e.g. muffler, muffler cover, radiator, hoses,
engine body, coolants, engine oil, ect. during operation and after the engine has been shut down.
The Coolant system can be under pressure, Open the coolant system only, when the generator
is colled down. Wear „Personal Protective Equipment„.
Be shure that the coolant system is closed and all hose clamps are tightend before operating the
generator.
The battery (Starter battery and AGT battery bank) presents an explosive hazard. When the bat-
tery is being charged, hydrogen and oxigen gasses are extremly explosive.
Do not use or charge a battery if its fluid level is below the lower mark. Otherwise, the component
parts may deteriorate earlier than expected, which may shorten the the service life or cause an
explosion. Immediatly, add distilled water until the fluid level is between the lower and the upper
marks.
Keep sparks and open flames away from the battery, especially during charging. Do not strike a
match near the battery.
Do not check the battery charge by placing a metal object across the terminals (danger of short
circuit, battery damage and high danger of explosion). Use a Voltmeter or a hydrometer.
Do not charge a frozen battery. There is a riosk of explosion. When frozen, warm the battery up to
at least 16°C.(61°F).
1.5.8 Keep hands away from rotating parts
Operate the generator with closed sound cover capsul only.
Be shure to stop the generator befor checking or adjusting the belt tension.
Keep your hands and body away from rotating parts, such as the cooing fan, V-Belt, fan drive
belt, ra´w water pump drive belt, pulley or Flywheel.
Do not operate the generator without safety guards. Install safety guards securly before opera-
tion.
1.5.9 Anti-Freeze and disposal of fluids
Anti-freeze contains poison. Wear rubber gloves to avoid personal injury. In case of contact with
skin, whash it off immideately. Do not mix different types of Anti-freeze. The mixture can produce
chemical reactioncausing harmful substances. Use approved or genuine Fischer Panda Anti-
freeze.
Protect the environment. When draining fluids from the generator, place a siutable container
underneath the generator body. Consider the relevant enviromental protection regulations when
disposing of oil, fuel, coolant, breakfluid, filters and batteries. Do not poor waste onto the ground,
down a drain, or into any water source. Conducting safety checks and maintenance
