WARNING
Do not attempt to operate the generating set
with the safety guards removed. While the
generating set is running do not attempt to reach
under or around the guards to do maintenance
or for any other reason.
Keep hands, arms, long hair, loose clothing and
jewellery away from
pulleys, belts and other
moving parts.
Attention:
Some moving
parts can not be seen
clearly when the set is
running.
If equipped keep access
doors on enclosures
closed and locked when
not required to be open.
Avoid contact with hot
oil, hot coolant, hot
exhaust gases, hot surfaces and sharp edges and
corners.
Wear protective clothing including gloves and
hat when working around
the generating set.
Do not remove the
radiator filler cap until the
coolant has cooled. Then
loosen the cap slowly to
relieve any excess pressure before removing the
cap completely.
Turn off or disconnect the power to the battery
chargen before making or breaking connections
with the battery.
To avoiding arcing keep grounded conductive
objects (such as tools) away from exposed live
electrical parts (such as terminals). Sparks and
arcing might ignite fuel or vapours.
Avoid refiling the fuel tank while the engine is
running.
Do not attempt to operate
the generating set with any
known leaks in the fuel
system.
WARNING
Do not swallow or allow skin contact with fuel,
oil, coolant, lubricants or battery electrolyte. If
swallowed, seek medical treatment immediately.
Do not induce vomiting if fuel is swallowed. For
skin contact, wash with soap and water.
Do not wear clothing that
has been contaminated by
fuel or lube oil.
Wear an acid resistant apron
and face shield or goggles
when servicing the battery.
If electrolyte is spilled on
skin or clothing, flush immediately with large
quantities of water.

!
Fuels, oils, coolants, lubricants and battery
electrolyte used in this generating set are typical
of the industry. However, they can be hazardous
to personnel if not treated properly.

2.4 MECHANICAL
The generating set is designed with guards for
protection from moving parts. Care must still
be taken to protect personnel and equipment
from other mechanical hazards when working
around the generating set.

2.5 CHEMICAL
!
Generating sets that are not equipped with sound
attenuating enclosures can produce noise levels
in excess of 105 dBA. Prolonged exposure to
noise levels above 85 dBA is hazardous to hearing.
WARNING
Ear protection must be
worn when operating or
working around an operating
generating set
!
2.7 ELECTRICAL
Safe and efficient operation of electrical
equipment can be achieved only if the equipment
is correctly installed, operated and maintained.
WARNING
The generating set must be connected to the
load only by trained and qualified electricians
who are authorized to do so, and in compliance
with relevant Electrical Codes, Standards and
other requlations.
Ensure that the generating set, including a mobile
set is effectively grounded/earthed in accordance
with all relevant regulations priorts operation.
