voltage will cause severe injury or
death. Follow the instructions of the
test equipment manufacturer when
performing high-voltage tests on the
rotor or stator. An improper test
procedure can damage equipment or
lead to generator set failure.
Installing the battery
Hazardous voltage will cause severe
injury or death. An ungrounded
battery charger may cause electrical
shock. Connect the battery charger
enclosure to the ground of a permanent
wiring system. As an alternative, install
an equipment grounding conductor
with circuit conductors and connect it to
the equipment grounding terminal or
the lead on the battery charger. Install
the battery charger as prescribed in the
equipment manual. Install the battery
charger in compliance with local codes
and ordinances.
Connecting the battery and the
battery charger. Hazardous voltage
will cause severe injury or death.
Reconnect the battery
positive to positive and negative to
negative, to avoid electrical shock and
damage to the battery charger and
battery(ies). Have a
electrician install the battery(ies).
Short circuits.

voltage will cause severe injury or
death. The engine block heater can
cause electrical shock. Remove the
engine block heater plug from the
electrical outlet before working on the
block heater electrical connections.
Electrical backfeed to the utility.
Hazardous backfeed voltage can
cause severe injury or death. Install
a transfer switch in standby power
installations to prevent the connection
of standby and other sources of power.
Electrical backfeed into

injury or death to utility personnel
working on power lines.

WARNING
Hot Parts
WARNING
Hot coolant and steam.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Before removing the pressure cap,
stop the generator set and allow it to
cool. Then loosen the pressure cap
to relieve pressure.
WARNING
Hot engine and exhaust system.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Do not work on the generator set until
it cools.
Servicing the alternator. Hot parts
can cause severe injury or death.
Avoid touching the alternator field or
exciter armature. When shorted, the
alternator field and exciter armature
become hot enough to cause severe
burns.
Servicing the exhaust system. Hot
parts can cause severe injury or
death. Do not touch hot engine parts.
The engine and exhaust system
components become extremely hot
during operation.
