WARNING
Grounding electrical equipment. Hazardous voltage will cause severe injury or death. Electrocution is possible whenever
electricity is present. Ensure you comply with all applicable codes and standards. 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.
WARNING
Generator set operation. Carbon monoxide can cause severe nausea, fainting, or death. Carbon monoxide is an odorless,
colorless, tasteless, nonirritating gas that can cause death if inhaled for even a short time. Avoid breathing exhaust fumes when
working on or near the generator set. Never operate the generator set inside a building. Never operate the generator set where
exhaust gas could seep inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied building through windows, air intake vents, or other
openings.
Carbon monoxide detectors. Carbon monoxide can cause severe nausea, fainting, or death. Install carbon monoxide
detectors on each level of any building adjacent to the generator set. Locate the detectors to adequately warn the building's
occupants of the presence of carbon monoxide. Keep the detectors operational at all times. Periodically test and replace the
carbon monoxide detectors according to the manufacturer's instructions.
