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
lines with rigid lines. Use flexible
sections to avoid fuel line breakage
caused by vibration. Do not operate the
generator set in the presence of fuel
leaks, fuel accumulation, or sparks.
Repair fuel systems before resuming
generator set operation.
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.
LPG liquid withdrawal fuel leaks.
Explosive fuel vapors can cause
severe injury or death. Fuel leakage
can cause an explosion. Check the
LPG liquid withdrawal fuel system for
leakage by using a soap and water
solution with the fuel system test
pressurized to at least
(621 kPa). Do not use a soap solution
containing either ammonia or chlorine
because both prevent
formation. A successful test depends
on the ability of the solution to bubble.

DANGER
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 of standby
normal sources of supply.
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).
Grounding electrical equipment.
Hazardous voltage will cause severe
injury or death. Electrocution is
possible whenever electricity
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.
