This is corrosive and irritant by all forms of exposure. If skin contact is made wash with clean water.
For storage or long periods of inactivity, Stephill Generators recommend the following:
Before the generator is used after long term storage, all fuels and oils should be replaced.
Fire
Hot Parts
Make sure that the Generator is at least 2 metres away from any building during operation. Operate in a well
ventilated unconfined area, so that fumes can be properly dispersed. Silencer outlet should be facing an open
area to prevent fumes being recirculated. There is the danger of asphyxiation due to exhaust gases.
Inhalation of poisonous exhaust fumes can lead to serious injury or death. The generator must not be used in
a poorly ventilated or enclosed area.
Ear protection may be required depending on the combined noise level of the Generator, auxiliary load and
the operator’s distance from it and the length of exposure. (Noise at Work Regulations 1989)
Ensure that suitable fire extinguishers (AFFF or CO2) are kept within close proximity of the generator. Do not
cover, enclose, or obstruct the airflow to the generator during or shortly after use, due to fire hazard or
damage to the generator from overheating. Allow the generator to cool after use before storing away. Keep
all inflammable objects clear of the generator.
Fumes
Noise
There is the danger of burns as parts of the generator will become very hot during use. No part of the engine,
alternator or exhaust must be touched during or shortly after operation. Do not operate the generator unless
all guards are in place. There is a risk of burns or serious mechanical injury.
Battery Acid
Long Term Storage
Generator mounts, pipes and hoses should be checked to ensure that they are un-perished following
extended periods of storage.
The generator should be stored in a clean dry area, ideally having a reasonable constant ambient
temperature, and ideally not below freezing.
Generators should be stored with oil filled to the correct capacity; Storage periods of 18 months and over
may require special lubricants and treatments. If so please seek further advice from the engine
manufacturer.
