Safety Precautions and Instructions
Hazardous Voltage/
Moving Parts
WARNING
Hazardous voltage. Moving Parts.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Operate the generator set only when
all guards and electrical enclosures
are in place.
Servicing the generator set when it
is operating. Exposed moving parts
can cause severe injury or death.
Keep hands, feet, hair, clothing, and test
leads away from the belts and pulleys
when the generator set is running.
Replace guards, screens, and covers
before operating the generator set.
Grounding electrical equipment.
Hazardous voltage can 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.
Short circuits. Hazardous
voltage/current can cause severe
injury or death. Short circuits can
cause bodily injury and/or equipment
damage. Do not contact electrical
connections with tools or jewelry while
making adjustments or repairs.
Remove all jewelry before servicing the
equipment.
TP-6576 12/07b
Testing live electrical circuits.
Hazardous voltage or current can
cause severe injury or death. Have
trained and qualified personnel take
diagnostic measurements of live circuits.
Use adequately rated test equipment with
electrically insulated probes and follow
the instructions of the test equipment
manufacturer when performing voltage
tests. Observe the following precautions
when performing voltage tests: (1)
Remove all jewelry. (2) Stand on a dry,
approved electrically insulated mat. (3) Do
not touch the enclosure or components
inside the enclosure. (4) Be prepared for
the system to operate automatically.
(600 volts and under)
Engine block heater. Hazardous
voltage can cause severe injury or
death. The engine block heater can
cause electrical shock. Remove the
engine block heater plug from the
electrical outlet before working on the
block heater electrical connections.
Servicing the generator set.
Hazardous voltage can cause severe
injury or death. Do not touch electrical
connections when flashing the generator
set. The alligator clips carry line voltage
when the pushbutton is pressed to flash
the generator set.
Hot Parts
Hot engine and exhaust system.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Do not work on the generator set until
it cools.
Combustible materials. Fire can cause
severe injury or death. A hot exhaust
system can ignite adjacent combustible
materials. Do not locate electrical wiring,
fuel lines, or combustible materials above
the exhaust muffler. Exercise caution
when parking your vehicle to prevent the
exhaust system and hot exhaust gases
from starting grass fires.

WARNING
Hot coolant and steam.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Before removing the pressure cap,
stop the generator set and allow it to
cool. Then loosen the pressure cap to
relieve pressure.
Engine Fluids and
Chemical Products
Used engine oil. Contact with used
engine oil may cause severe skin
irritation. Repeated and prolonged
skin exposure may have other
health risks. Used engine oil is a
suspected carcinogen. Avoid contact
with skin. Thoroughly wash your
hands and nails with soap and water
shortly after handling used engine oil.
Wash or dispose of clothing or rags
containing used engine oil. Dispose
of used engine oil in a responsible
manner.
