TP-6862 6/14 7 Safety Precautions and Instructions
Short circuits. Hazardous
voltage/current can cause severe
injury or death. Short circuits can
cause bodily injury and/or equipment
damage . Do not contact electrical
connections with tools or jewelry while
making adjustments or repairs.
Remove all jewelry before servicing the
equipment.
Electrical backfeed to the utility.
Hazardous backfeed voltage can
cause severe injury or death.
Connect the generator set to the
building/marina electrical system only
through an approved device and after
the building/marina main switch is
turned off. Backfeed connections can
cause severe injury or death to utility
personnel working on power lines
and/or personnel near the work area.
Some states and localities prohibit
unauthorized connection to the utility
electrical system. Install a
ship-to-shore transfer switch to prevent
interconnection of the generator set
power and shore power.
Testing live electrical circuits.
Hazardous voltage or current can
cause severe injury or death. Have
trained and qualified personnel take
diagnostic measurements of live
circuits. Use adequately rated test
equipment with electrically insulated
probes and follow the instructions of the
test equipment manufacturer when
performing voltage tests. Observe the
following precautions when performing
voltage tests: (1) Remove all jewelry.
(2) Stand on a dry, approved electrically
insulated mat. (3) Do not touch the
enclosure or components inside the
enclosure. (4) Be prepared for the
system to operate automatically.
(600 volts and under)
Hot Parts
Hot coolant and steam.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Before removing the pressure cap,
stop the generator set and allow it to
cool. Then loosen the pressure cap
to relieve pressure.
WARNING
Notice
NOTICE
This generator set has been
rewired from its nameplate voltage
to
246242
NOTICE
Voltage reconnection. Affix a notice
to the generator set after reconnecting
the set to a voltage different from the
voltage on the nameplate. Order
voltage reconnection decal 246242
from an authorized service
distributor/dealer.
NOTICE
Fuse replacement. Replace fuses
with fuses of the same ampere rating
and type (for example: 3AB or 314,
ceramic). Do not substitute clear
glass-type fuses for ceramic fuses.
Refer to the wiring diagram when the
ampere rating is unknown or
questionable.
NOTICE
Saltwater damage. Saltwater quickly
deteriorates metals. Wipe up saltwater
on and around the generator set and
remove salt deposits from metal
surfaces.
