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.
Draining the fuel system. Explosive
fuel vapors can cause severe injury
or death. Spilled fuel can cause an
explosion. Use a container to catch fuel
when draining the fuel system. Wipe up
spilled fuel after draining the system.
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.
Hazardous Voltage/
Electrical Shock
WARNING
Hazardous voltage.
Moving rotor.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Operate the generator set only when
all guards and electrical enclosures
are in place.
TP-5964 7/01
WARNING
Hazardous voltage.
Backfeed to the utility system can
cause severe injury, death, or
property damage.
Connect the generator set to the
building's electrical system only
through an approved device and after
the building's main switch is opened.
WARNING
Hazardous voltage.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Do not allow water to enter the
electrical enclosure. Water creates a
very high risk for electrical shock.

servicing the equipment. Configure the
installation to electrically ground the
generator set, transfer switch, and
related
equipment
and
circuits to comply with applicable codes
and
standards.
Never
