producing equipment and all other sources of
ignition well away.

Fuel lines must be secured, free of leaks and
separated or shielded from electrical wiring.
GASOLINE IS FLAMMABLE AND
EXPLOSIVE
•
Because this genset is an
Ignition Protected
device, no substitutes are permitted for the
parts listed in the
Critical Parts Index
of the
genset Parts Catalog. They must be pur-
chased from Onan and be installed in accor-
dance with the genset Service Manual by
those who are trained and experienced in ma-
rine genset service.
BATTERY GAS IS EXPLOSIVE
•
Wear safety glasses.
•
Do not smoke.
•
To reduce arcing when disconnecting or recon-
necting battery cables, always disconnect the
negative (
–
) battery cable first and reconnect
it last.
MOVING PARTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH
•
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry near
moving parts such as PTO shafts, fans, belts
and pulleys.
•
Keep hands away from moving parts.
•
Keep guards in place over fans, belts, pulleys,
and other moving parts.
FLAMMABLE VAPOR CAN CAUSE A
DIESEL ENGINE TO OVERSPEED
Flammable vapor can cause a diesel engine to
overspeed and become difficult to stop, resulting in
possible fire, explosion, severe personal injury and
death.
Do not operate a diesel-powered genset
where a flammable vapor environment can be
created by fuel spill, leak, etc.
The owners and
operators of the genset are solely responsible for
operating the genset safely.
