Safety Instructions - Shindaiwa DG50MKM-P Owner's And Operator's Manual

1. Safety Instructions

WARNING : SUFFOCATION FROM EXHAUST FUME
 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 bystanders or buildings.
WARNING : ELECTRIC SHOCK
 Do not operate the equipment with any doors or covers open.
 Before connecting or disconnecting the load cables to/from the output terminal, always
turn the output circuit breakers to the OFF position, stop the engine, and turn the
Power Switch to the OFF position.
 Close the output terminal cover before operating.
 Do not insert a pin, wire or other metal object into the electrical outlet.
 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.
 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.
 There is always a danger of being electrocuted by short-circuit. Be sure to test
generator's insulation resistance periodically.
 Grounding should be made after the engine is stopped.
 Whenever the Earth leakage breaker is activated, you should always repair the leaking
place first of all.
WARNING : INJURY
 Close all doors and lock them during operation.
 Close all doors and place locks during operating this equipment, to avoid injuries by
unintentionally touching cooling fan and fan belt.
 Before performing any equipment check or maintenance, stop the engine, and turn the
Power Switch to the OFF position.
 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 lifted generator.
 Before turning the circuit breaker to ON position, ensure that the breaker or the switch
of loads are positioned to OFF.
 Operate the circuit breaker, well-communicating with the electrician by the load side.
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.
