Service Safety

Poorly maintained equipment can become a safety hazard!  In order
for the equipment to operate safely and properly over a long period of
time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary. If
the generator is experiencing problems or is being serviced, attach a
“DO  NOT START” sign to the control panel to notify other people of its
condition.

2.3.1

DO NOT use gasoline or other types of fuels or flammable solvents to
clean parts, especially in enclosed areas. Fumes from fuels and
solvents can become explosive. 

2.3.2

DO NOT attempt to clean or service the machine while it is running.

2.3.3

DO NOT modify the equipment without the express written approval of
the manufacturer.

2.3.4

DO NOT allow water to accumulate around the base of the machine.
If water is present, move the machine and allow the machine to dry
before servicing.

2.3.5

DO NOT service the machine if your clothing or skin is wet.

2.3.6

DO NOT allow untrained personnel to service this equipment. Only
trained electrical technicians should be allowed to service the electrical
components of this equipment.

2.3.7

ALWAYS keep the machine clean and labels legible. Replace all
missing and hard-to-read labels. Labels provide important operating
instructions and warn of dangers and hazards.

2.3.8

ALWAYS replace the safety devices and guards after repairs and
maintenance.

2.3.9

ALWAYS let the engine cool before transporting or servicing it.

2.3.10

ALWAYS keep hands, feet, and loose clothing away from the moving
parts on the generator and engine.

2.3.11

ALWAYS turn the engine off before servicing the machine. If the
engine has electric start, disconnect the negative terminal on the
battery before servicing the machine.

2.3.12

ALWAYS keep the fuel lines in good condition and properly connected.
Leaking fuel and fumes are extremely explosive.
