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 parts.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Operate the generator set only when
all guards and electrical enclosures
are in place.

Safety Precautions and Instructions
WARNING
Hazardous voltage.
Backfeed to the utility system can
cause property damage, severe
injury, or death.
If the generator set is used for
standby power, install an automatic
transfer switch to prevent inadvertent
interconnection
of
standby
normal sources of supply.
CAUTION
Welding the generator set.
Can
cause
severe
equipment damage.
Never weld components of the
generator
set
without
disconnecting the battery, controller
wiring harness, and engine electronic
control module (ECM).
Grounding electrical equipment.
Hazardous

is possible whenever electricity is
present. Ensure you comply with all
applicable
codes
and
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.
Welding on the generator set. Can
cause severe electrical equipment
damage.

Notice that line voltage is still present
within the ECM when the POWER ON
light is lit. Ensure that the generator set
and day tank are electrically grounded.
Do not operate the day tank when
