Be sure that the fuel that will be used is a well-designed combination of appropriate ingredients, according to its
purpose of use and all related norms and standards.
Keep the floor clean around the generator set in order not to face any accidents due to slippery floor covered with
grease, battery electrolyte or coolant.
Shut down the generator set long before any maintenance activity like refuelling it, checking the battery electrolyte
level, checking or changing the lubrication oil. So that the engine can get cooled before doing any maintenance on
it.
Keep any spark, flame or other combustibles away from the generator set. Do not smoke and allow smoking
around the generator set.
Do not let any formation of waste oil or fuel layer on the generator set. Clean any dirt on the engine, alternator,
base frame or canopy with an industrial cleaner. Be sure not to use combustive chemicals for cleaning purposes.
Before connecting or disconnecting the batteries, be sure to remove the charger connections on batteries.
Remove the connections from negative (-) poles of the batteries before any maintenance. Also place a warning on
the battery for preventing any short-circuit accidents.
In order for preventing any possible incorrect connections that may be done by anyone unauthorized, be sure to
attach a warning notice on the battery connections.
Keep any cables, battery terminals or other electrical equipment in a good condition. Replace any cracked, broken
or defective cables, terminals, isolators or any electrical equipment.
Provide a proper grounding for all the conductors and electrical equipment that is directly exposed to electricity.
This will prevent the accidents due to any arc or spark occurrences caused by the electrical current flowing
through or around them.
If any leakage has been inspected on or around the fuel tank or pipes, never start the generator set before resolving
the leakage problem. Do not attempt to repair the damaged fuel tanks or pipes but change them directly with the
new ones.
Always keep in mind that the temperature of the exhaust gas, exhaust manifold and the exhaust outlet pipes is
up around 550oC. Due to this fact; provide the necessary insulation to all hot surfaces and keep yourself and any
flammable material away from these hot points.
Be sure to keep any flammable material away from the generator set before doing any welding work on the
generator set. Also take any dirty (oil, fuel, etc...) cloth pieces, chemical waste, leaf, garbage or any other
flammable material away from the generator set.
Before any maintenance or service activity, be sure that there is at least one full and well-maintained fire
extinguisher around the generator set.
If there are any trees or wood around the generator set, avoid contacts of leaves and branches with the generator
set’s hot exhaust system.
Do not install or run the generator sets in places that are not approved or prescribed as dangerous.
