Maintenance
WARNING: Installation and servicing of batteries is to be performed or supervised by personnel
knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away
from batteries.
WARNING: Disconnect the battery’s ground terminal before working in the vicinity of the battery or
battery wires. Contact with the battery can result in electrical shock when a tool accidently
touches the positive battery terminal or wire. The risk of such shock is reduced when the
ground lead is removed during installation and maintenance.
WARNING: A battery presents a risk of fire and explosion because they generate hydrogen gas.
Hydrogen gas is extremely explosive. Never jump start a battery, smoke in the area around
the battery or cause any spark to occur in the area around the battery.
WARNING: Do not mutilate the battery or dispose of a battery in a fire. The battery is capable of
exploding. If the battery explodes, electrolyte solution will be released in all directions.
Battery electrolyte solution is caustic and can cause severe burns and blindness. If
electrolyte contacts skin or eyes, immediately flush the area with water and seek medical
attention quickly.
WARNING: A battery presents a risk of electrical shock hazard and high short circuit current. Electrical
shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Never wear jewelry, watch or any metal objects when
in the area around the battery.
WARNING: The battery electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric acid that is harmful to the skin and eyes. It is
electrically conductive and corrosive. If electrolyte contacts the skin, flush the area
immediately with water and wash it off using soap and water. If electrolyte contacts the eyes,
immediately flush the eye thoroughly with water and seek medical attention quickly.
WARNING: Before cleaning, inspecting, repairing, refueling or performing any maintenance to the
generator set, always be sure the engine has stopped and that all rotating parts have also
stopped. After stopping, certain components are still extremely hot so be careful not to get
burned.
WARNING: Before servicing the generator set, be sure to disconnect the spark plug wires to prevent
accidental engine rotation or starting.
WARNING: Inspect all wiring frequently and replace any damaged, broken or frayed wiring or wires with
damaged insulation immediately. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury.
WARNING: Disconnect all electrical wires and load devices from generator power outlets before servicing
the generator. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Always treat electrical
circuits as if they are energized.
WARNING: Check fuel tank, fuel line, and connections monthly for fuel leaks. Gasoline is flammable and
can cause fire, explosions, injury or death. If a leak is found, replace only with approved pipe
or components.
WARNING: Never store an engine with fuel in its tank indoors or in an enclosed, poorly ventilated area
where gasoline fumes could reach an ignition source and cause an explosion.
