Safety Instructions - Shindaiwa DG150MM Owners And Operation Manual

1. Safety Instructions

WARNING : EXHAUST GAS POISONING
 Do not operate the generator in poorly ventilated areas such as indoors or tunnels, as the
exhaust gas of the engine contains substances that are harmful to human health.
 Do not direct exhaust fumes at pedestrians or buildings.
WARNING : ELECTRIC SHOCK
 Do not operate the equipment with any doors or covers open.
 Before connecting or disconnecting load cables to/from the output terminal, always turn the
output circuit breakers to the "OFF" position, stop the engine, and remove the starter key.
 Close the output terminal cover before operating.
 Do not touch the generator if the Alternator or casing becomes wet during operation.
 Do not touch output terminals or internal electric parts while the generator is
operating.
 Do not change the frequency selector switch while the engine is running.
 Ground the every earth grounding terminal to the earth as set out in the manual.
 If even one of all is unconnected by mistake or accident, it will be much more
dangerous for human body than the NO-RELAY case, because leaking current
inevitably goes through the body.
 Even though all the earth terminals of the loads have been grounded to the earth,
the bonnet grounding terminal should be grounded to the earth.
 Grounding should be made after the engine is stopped.
 Whenever the Earth leakage relay is activated, you should always repair the leaking
place first of all.
 Always be sure to stop the engine and remove the starter key before performing any
equipment check or maintenance.
WARNING : INJURY
 Close all doors and lock them during operation.
 Do not open the check door during operation. Keep away from moving parts such as cooling
fan and fan belt..
 Always be sure to stop the engine and remove the starter key when performing inspection
or maintenance.
 Use the lifting hook to lift the machines, and do not lift up the unit using tie-downs. Use of
such could result in the generator falling.
 Do not lift any additional weight such as fuel tanks or trailers.
 No persons should be under a suspended generator at all time.
 Always be sure to check that the breakers on load side and switches for any equipment
using the generator are at "OFF" before turning the breaker to "ON". Also be sure to advise
personnel on the load side that power will be turned on or off before operating the breaker.
 Do not modify the equipment and do not operate with parts removed.
CAUTION : EYE/SKIN INJURY
 Wear rubber gloves and other protective wear to protect eyes, skin and clothing from the
battery fluid which contains diluted sulfuric acid. If the battery fluid contacts eyes or skin,
wash out immediately with a sufficient amount of clean water. Be sure to receive medical
treatment, especially if the fluid contacts the eyes.
