TP-5986 4/03 Safety Precautions and Instructions III
Fuel System
Explosion.
Gasoline
vapors can cause
explosion and severe injury or
death.
Before starting the generator set,
operate the blower 4 minutes and
check the engine compartment for
gasoline vapors.
WARNING
Explosive fuel vapors.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Use extreme care when handling,
storing, and using fuels.
WARNING
The fuel system. Explosive fuel
vapors can cause severe injury or
death.
Vaporized fuels are highly
explosive. Use extreme care when
handling and storing fuels. Store fuels
in a well-ventilated area away from
spark-producing equipment and out of
the reach of children. Never add fuel to
the tank while the engine is running
because spilled fuel may ignite on
contact with hot parts or from sparks.
Do not smoke or permit flames or
sparks to occur near sources of spilled
fuel or fuel vapors. Keep the fuel lines
and connections tight and in good
condition. Do not replace flexible fuel
lines with rigid lines.
Use flexible
sections to avoid fuel line breakage
caused by vibration. Do not operate the
generator set in the presence of fuel
leaks, fuel accumulation, or sparks.
Repair fuel systems before resuming
generator set operation.
Explosive fuel vapors can cause
severe
injury or death. Take
additional precautions when using the
following fuels:
Gasoline —Store gasoline only in
approved red containers clearly
marked GASOLINE.
Draining the fuel system. Explosive
fuel vapors can cause severe injury
or death.
Spilled fuel can cause an
explosion. Use a container to catch fuel
when draining the fuel system. Wipe up
spilled fuel after draining the system.
Installing the fuel system. Explosive
fuel vapors can cause severe injury
or death.
Fuel leakage can cause an
explosion. Do not modify the tank or the
propulsion engine fuel system. Equip
the craft with a tank that allows one of
the
two pickup arrangements
described in the installation section.
The tank and installation must conform
to USCG Regulations.
Pipe sealant. Explosive fuel vapors
can cause severe injury or death.
Fuel leakage can cause an explosion.
Use pipe sealant on all threaded fittings
to prevent fuel leakage.
Use pipe
sealant that resists gasoline, grease,
lubrication oil, common bilge solvents,
salt deposits, and water.
Ignition-protected equipment.
Explosive fuel vapors can cause
severe injury or death.
Gasoline
vapors can cause an explosion.
USCG Regulation 33CFR183 requires
that all electrical devices (ship-to-shore
transfer switch, remote start panel, etc.)
must be ignition protected when used in
a
gasoline and gaseous-fueled
environment. The electrical devices
listed above are not ignition protected
and are not certified to operate in a
gasoline
and gaseous-fueled
environment such as an engine room or
near fuel tanks. Acceptable locations
are the wheelhouse and other living
areas sheltered from rain and water
splash.
Hazardous Noise
Hazardous noise.
Can cause hearing loss.
Never operate the generator set
without a muffler or with a faulty
exhaust system.
CAUTION
Engine noise. Hazardous noise can
cause hearing loss.
Generator sets
not equipped with sound enclosures
can produce noise levels greater than
105 dBA. Prolonged exposure to noise
levels greater than 85 dBA can cause
permanent hearing loss. Wear hearing
protection when near an operating
generator set.
Hazardous
Voltage/Electrical
Shock
Hazardous voltage.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Operate the generator set only when
all guards and electrical enclosures
are in place.
Moving rotor.
WARNING
Welding the generator set.
Can
cause severe electrical
equipment damage.
Never weld components of the
generator set without first
disconnecting the battery, controller
wiring harness, and engine electronic
control module (ECM).
