Disabling the generator set.
Accidental starting can cause
severe injury or death. Before
working on the generator set or
connected equipment, disable the
generator set as follows: (1) Move the
generator set master switch to the OFF
position. (2) Disconnect the power to
the battery charger. (3) Remove the
battery cables, negative (--) lead first.
Reconnect the negative (--) lead last
when reconnecting the battery. Follow
these precautions to prevent starting of
the generator set by an automatic
transfer
switch, remote start/stop

remote computer.
Battery
Sulfuric acid in batteries.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Wear protective goggles and
clothing. Battery acid may cause
blindness and burn skin.
WARNING
Explosion.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Relays in the battery charger
cause arcs or sparks.
Locate the battery in a well-ventilated
area. Isolate the battery charger from
explosive fumes.
WARNING
Battery electrolyte is a diluted
sulfuric acid. Battery acid can
cause severe injury or death. Battery
acid can cause blindness and burn
skin. Always wear splashproof safety
goggles, rubber gloves, and boots
when servicing the battery.
Do not
open a sealed battery or mutilate the
battery case. If battery acid splashes in
the eyes or on the skin, immediately
flush the affected area for 15 minutes
with large quantities of clean water.
Seek immediate medical aid in the
case of eye contact. Never add acid to
a battery after placing the battery in
service,
as this may result in
hazardous spattering of battery acid.
Battery acid cleanup. Battery acid
can cause severe injury or death.
Battery acid is electrically conductive
and corrosive. Add 500 g (1 lb.) of
bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) to a
container with 4 L (1 gal.) of water and
mix the neutralizing solution. Pour the
neutralizing solution on the spilled
battery acid and continue to add the
neutralizing solution to the spilled
battery acid until all evidence of a
chemical
reaction (foaming) has
ceased. Flush the resulting liquid with
water and dry the area.
