Mechanical Precautions
1.
The generator is designed with guards for protection from moving parts. In any case,
care must still be taken to protect personnel and equipment from other mechanical
hazards when working around the generator.
2.
Do not operate the generator with safety guards removed. While the generator is
running, do not attempt to reach around the safety guards for maintenance or any
other reason.
3.
Keep hands, arms, long hair, loose clothing, and jewelry away from pulleys, belts, and
other moving parts. Be aware that when engine parts are moving fast they cannot be
seen clearly.
4.
Keep access doors on enclosures closed and locked when access is not required.
5.
When working in and around the generator always wear protective clothing including
gloves, safety goggles, and safety hat.
Chemical Precautions
1.
Avoid contact with hot oil, coolant, exhaust gases, surfaces, and sharp edges and
corners.
2.
Do not remove the radiator filler cap until the coolant has cooled. Loosen the cap
slowly to relieve any excess pressure, then remove the cap completely.
3.
Avoid body contact with fuels, oils, coolants, lubricants and battery electrolyte used in
the generator. If swallowed, seek medical treatment immediately. Do not induce
vomiting if fuel is swallowed. For skin contact, immediately wash with soap and water.
For eye contact, immediately flush eyes with clean water.
4.
When servicing the battery, wear an acid resistant apron and full face shield and safety
glasses. If electrolyte is spilled on skin or clothing, immediately flush with large
quantities of water.
Noise Precautions
This generator is equipped with sound attenuating enclosure. The generator can
product noise levels of up to 105 dBA. Prolonged exposure to noise levels above 85
dBA is hazardous to hearing. Always wear ear protection when operating or working
around the generator when it is running.
Electrical Precautions
1.
All connections and conduit from the generator to the load must only be installed by
trained and licensed electricians, and in compliance with all relevant local, state, and
federal electrical codes and standards, and other regulations where applicable.
2.
The generator must be earth-grounded in accordance with all relevant electrical
codes and standards before operation.
3.
Before performing any maintenance or connecting or disconnecting any electrical load
connections, the negative (–) battery cable must be removed from the battery.
