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.
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).
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.

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.

WARNING
Hot coolant and steam.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Before removing the pressure cap,
stop the generator set and allow it to

generator set can ignite debris in the
compartment. Keep the compartment
and generator set clean and free of
debris and combustible materials to
minimize the possibility of fire. Do not
