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 to
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.
