XP-6341 6/10 4 Safety Precautions and Instructions
Battery short circuits. Explosion
can cause severe injury or death.
Short circuits can cause bodily injury
and/or
equipment damage.
Disconnect the battery before
generator set installation or
maintenance. Remove all jewelry
before servicing the equipment. Use
tools with insulated handles. Remove
the negative (--) lead first when
disconnecting the battery. Reconnect
the negative (--) lead last when
reconnecting
the battery. Never
connect the negative (--) battery cable
to the positive (+) connection terminal
of the starter solenoid. Do not test the
battery
condition by shorting the
terminals together.
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.
Engine Backfire/Flash
Fire
Fire.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Do not smoke or permit flames or
sparks near fuels or the fuel system.
WARNING
Servicing the fuel system. A flash
fire can cause severe injury or death.
Do not smoke or permit flames or
sparks near the carburetor, fuel line,
fuel filter, fuel pump, or other potential
sources of spilled fuels or fuel vapors.
Catch fuels in an approved container
when
removing the fuel line or
carburetor.
Servicing the air cleaner. A sudden
backfire can cause severe injury or
death.
Do not operate the generator
set with the air cleaner removed.
Combustible materials. A fire can
cause
severe injury or death.
Generator set engine fuels and fuel
vapors are flammable and explosive.
Handle these materials carefully to
minimize the risk of fire or explosion.
Equip the compartment or nearby area
with a fully charged fire extinguisher.
Select a fire extinguisher rated ABC or
BC
for electrical fires or as
recommended by the local fire code or
an authorized agency.
Train all
personnel on fire extinguisher
operation and fire prevention
procedures.
Exhaust System
Carbon monoxide.
Can
cause severe nausea,
fainting, or death.
The exhaust system must be
leakproof and routinely inspected.
WARNING
Generator set operation. Carbon
monoxide can cause severe nausea,
fainting, or death.
Carbon monoxide
is an odorless, colorless, tasteless,
nonirritating gas that can cause death if
inhaled for even a short time. Avoid
breathing exhaust fumes when working
on or near the generator set. Never
operate the generator set inside a
building. Never operate the generator
set where exhaust gas could seep
inside or be drawn into a potentially
occupied building through windows, air
intake vents, or other openings.
Carbon monoxide detectors.
Carbon monoxide can cause severe
nausea, fainting, or death.
Install
carbon monoxide detectors on each
level of any building adjacent to the
generator set. Locate the detectors to
adequately
warn the building’s
occupants of the presence of carbon
monoxide.
Keep the detectors
operational at all times. Periodically
test and replace the carbon monoxide
detectors
according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Carbon monoxide symptoms.
Carbon monoxide can cause severe
nausea, fainting, or death.
Carbon
monoxide is a poisonous gas present in
exhaust gases. Carbon monoxide is an
odorless,
colorless, tasteless,
nonirritating gas that can cause death if
inhaled for even a short time. Carbon
monoxide poisoning symptoms include
but are not limited to the following:
D
Light-headedness, dizziness
D
Physical fatigue, weakness in
joints and muscles
D
Sleepiness, mental fatigue,
inability to concentrate
or speak clearly, blurred vision
D
Stomachache, vomiting, nausea
If experiencing any of these symptoms
and carbon monoxide poisoning is
possible, seek fresh air immediately
and remain active. Do not sit, lie down,
or fall asleep.
Alert others to the
possibility of carbon monoxide
poisoning. Seek medical attention if
the condition of affected persons does
not improve within minutes of breathing
fresh air.
Fuel System
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
