FIRE/EXPLOSION
DO NOT overload the engine (per rate capacity) and OPERATE ONLY in an
area with adequate cooling ventilation so the engine does not overheat.
The exhaust can be extremely hot. Keep the muffler at least 3 meters from
all combustible objects.
All fuels are flammable. Never fuel a running or hot engine. Never pump
fuel directly into the engine at a petrol station
– use an approved
container to transfer the fuel. Ensure that there are no fuel leaks and keep
sources of sparks and flames away. Wait for the engine to be cool before
fueling. ALWAYS keep a fire extinguisher rated
“ ABC ” nearby.
STOP!
CHOOSE THE RIGHT GENERATOR FOR YOUR NEEDS.
See the Power Load Planning and Management section to determine your
power load requirements and then compare to the generator’s rate
capacity.
INSPECT COMPONENTS
Closely inspect to make sure that there are not any components missing or
damaged.
ARRANGE FOR PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION of a transfer switch if you
will be connecting the generator to your building’s system.
