1.5.5 Safe handling of fuels and lubricants
Keep fuels and lubricants away from naked fire.
Before filling up the tank and/or applying lubricant, always shut down the generator and secure it
against accidental start-up.
Do not smoke and avoid naked flame and sparking near fuels and the generator. Fuel is highly
flammable and may explode under certain conditions.
Refuel in well-ventilated open spaces only. If fuel/lubricant was spilled, eliminate fluids
immediately.
Do not mix diesel fuel with petrol or alcohol. Such a mixture can cause fire and will damage the
generator.
Use only approved fuel containers and tank systems. Old bottles and canisters are not adequate.
1.5.6 Exhaust fumes and fire protection
Engine fumes can be hazardous to your health if they accumulate. Ensure that the generator
exhaust fumes are vented appropriately (leak-proof system), and that an adequate fresh air
supply is available for the generator and the operator (forced ventilation).
Check the system regularly for leakage and eliminate leaks as applicable.
Exhaust gases and parts containing such fumes are very hot; they may cause burns under
certain circumstances. Always keep flammable parts away from the generator and the exhaust
system.
To prevent fire, ensure that electrical connections are not short-circuited. Check regularly that all
lines and cables are in good condition and that there is no chafing. Bare wires, open chafing spots,
frayed insulation, and loose cable connections can cause dangerous electric shocks, short-circuit,
and fire.
The generator shall be integrated in the existing fire safety system by the operating company.
Exhaust gases from diesel motors and some components are carcinogenic and can cause
deformities and other genetic defects.
CALIFORNIA
Proposition 65 Warning
Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm.
