Propane (LPG)—Adequate ventilation
is mandatory. Because propane is
heavier than air, install propane gas
detectors low in a room. Inspect the
detectors per the manufacturer's
instructions.
Natural Gas—Adequate ventilation is
mandatory. Because natural gas rises,
install natural gas detectors high in a
room. Inspect the detectors per the
manufacturer's instructions.
Gas fuel leaks. Explosive fuel
vapors can cause severe injury or
death. Fuel leakage can cause an
explosion. Check the LPG vapor or
natural gas fuel system for leakage by
using a soap and water solution with the
fuel system test pressurized
6--8 ounces per square
(10--14 inches water column). Do not
use a soap solution containing either
ammonia or chlorine because both
prevent bubble formation. A successful
test depends on the ability of the
solution to bubble.
Hazardous Noise
CAUTION
Hazardous noise.
Can cause hearing loss.
Never operate the generator set
without a muffler or with a faulty
exhaust system.
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.

DANGER
Hazardous voltage.
Will cause severe injury or death.
Disconnect all power sources before

Hazardous voltage.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Operate the generator set only when
all guards and electrical enclosures
are in place.
WARNING
Hazardous voltage.
Backfeed to the utility system can
cause property damage, severe
injury, or death.
If the generator set is used for
standby power, install an automatic
transfer switch to prevent inadvertent
interconnection

CAUTION
Welding the generator set.
Can cause severe
equipment damage.
Never weld components of the
generator set without
disconnecting the battery, controller
wiring harness, and engine electronic
control module (ECM).
WARNING
Airborne particles.
Can cause severe injury or blind-
ness.
Wear protective goggles and clothing
when using power tools, hand tools,
or compressed air.
Grounding electrical equipment.
Hazardous voltage can
severe injury or death. Electrocution
is possible whenever electricity is
present. Ensure you comply with all
applicable codes and
Electrically ground the generator set,
transfer switch, and related equipment
and electrical circuits. Turn off the main
circuit breakers of all power sources
before servicing the equipment. Never
contact electrical leads or appliances
when standing in water or on wet
ground because these conditions
increase the risk of electrocution.
Disconnecting the electrical load.
Hazardous voltage can
severe injury or death. Disconnect
the generator set from the load by
turning off the line circuit breaker or by
disconnecting the generator set output
leads from the transfer switch and
heavily taping the ends of the leads.
High voltage transferred to the load
during testing may cause personal
injury and equipment damage. Do not
use the safeguard circuit breaker in
place of the line circuit breaker. The
safeguard circuit breaker does not
disconnect the generator set from the
load.
