ENGINE SAFETY
Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation and fueling! Failure to follow the
safety guidelines described below could result in severe injury or death. Also read and follow all safety
warnings described in the Engine Operator's Manual. A copy of this manual was supplied with unit when
it was shipped from the factory.
• DO NOT run engine indoors or in an area with poor ventilation unless exhaust hoses are used. Diesel
engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly, odorless and colorless gas which, if inhaled,
can cause nausea, fainting or death. Make sure engine exhaust cannot seep into closed rooms or
ventilation equipment.
• DO NOT Operate the unit on a combustible surface.
• DO NOT fill fuel tank near an open flame, while smoking, or while engine is running. DO NOT fill tank
in an enclosed area with poor ventilation.
• DO NOT operate with the fuel tank cap loose or missing.
• DO NOT touch or lean against hot exhaust pipes or engine cylinders.
• DO NOT clean air filter with gasoline or other types of low flash point solvents.
• DO NOT remove engine coolant cap while engine is hot.
• DO NOT operate the unit without a functional exhaust system. Prolonged exposure to sound levels
in excess of 85 DBA can cause permanent hearing loss. Wear hearing protection when working around
a running engine.
• Keep area around exhaust pipes and air ducts free of debris to reduce the chance of an accidental fire.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can cause severe injury or death. Sulfuric acid can cause eye
damage, burn flesh or eat holes in clothing. Protective eye wear and clothing are necessary when
working on or around the battery. Always disconnect the NEGATIVE (-) battery cable from the
corresponding terminal before performing any service on the engine or other components.
• Shut the engine down if any of the following conditions exist during operation:
1. Noticeable change in engine speed.
2. Loss of electrical output.
3. Equipment connected to the generator overheats.
4. Sparking occurs.
5. Engine misfires or there is excessive engine/generator vibration.
6. Protective covers are loose or missing.
