Section 1 - Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - This

manual contains important instructions that should be

followed during installation and maintenance of the

generator and batteries. SAVE THESE INSTRUC-

TIONS.

Before operating the generator set (genset), read the

Operator’s Manual and become familiar with it and

the equipment. Safe and efficient operation can be

achieved only if the equipment is properly operated

and maintained. Many accidents are caused by

failure to follow fundamental rules and precautions.

The following symbols, found throughout this manual,

alert you to potentially dangerous conditions to the

operator, service personnel, or the equipment.

1.1 Advisory and Cautionary Statements

Advisory and Cautionary Statements are used

throughout this manual to call attention to special

information, correct operating procedures, and safety

precautions.

NOTE: A general advisory statement relating to

equipment operation and maintenance procedures.

IMPORTANT: A specific advisory statement intended

to prevent damage to the equipment or associated

components.

Cautionary Statements consist of three levels:

DANGER

This symbol warns of immediate hazards which

will result in severe personal injury or death.

WARNING

This symbol refers to a hazard or unsafe practice

which can result in severe personal injury or

death.

CAUTION

This symbol refers to a hazard or unsafe practice

which can result in personal injury or product or

property damage.

CAUTION

Fuel And Fumes Are Flammable.

Fire, explosion, and personal injury or death can

result from improper practices.

• DO NOT fill fuel tanks while the engine is run-

ning unless the tanks are outside the engine

compartment. Fuel contact with the hot engine

or exhaust is a potential fire hazard.

• DO NOT permit any flame, cigarette, pilot light,

spark, arcing equipment, or other ignition source

near the generator set or fuel tank.

• Fuel lines must be adequately secured and free

of leaks. The fuel connection at the engine

should be made with an approved flexible line.

Do not use copper piping on flexible lines as

copper will become brittle if continuously

vibrated or repeatedly bent.

• Natural gas is lighter than air, and will tend to

gather under hoods. Propane is heavier than air,

and will tend to gather in sumps or low areas.

NFPA code requires all persons handling pro-

pane to be trained and qualified.

• Be sure all fuel supplies have a positive shut-off

valve.

• Be sure the battery area has been well-venti-

lated prior to servicing near it. Lead-acid batter-

ies emit a highly explosive hydrogen gas that

can be ignited by arcing, sparking, smoking, etc.
