Fuel System
_1_ WARNING
Explosive fuel vapors.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Use extreme
care when handling,
storing, and using fuels.
The fuel system.
Explosive
fuel
vapors can cause severe injury or
death.
Vaporized
fuels
are highly
explosive.
Use extreme care when
handling and storing fuels. Store fuels
in a well-ventilated
area away from
spark-producing
equipment and out of
the reach of children. Never add fuel to
the tank while the engine is running
because
spilled fuel may ignite on
contact with hot parts or from sparks.
Do not smoke
or permit flames
or
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.
Gas
fuel
leaks.
Explosive
fuel
vapors can cause severe injury or
death.
Fuel leakage can cause an
explosion.
Check the LP vapor gas or
natural gas fuel system for leakage by
using a soap and water solution with
the fuel system
test pressurized
to
6-8 ounces
per
square
inch
(10-14 inches water column).
Do not
use a soap solution containing
either
ammonia
or chlorine
because
both
prevent bubble formation. Asuccessful
test depends
on the ability
of the
solution to bubble.

Hazardous
Noise
_1_ 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
A
DANGER
Hazardous voltage.
Will cause severe injury or death.
Disconnect all power sources before
opening the enclosure.
_1_ WARNING
Hazardous voltage
Moving
Can cause severe injury or death.
Operate the generator set only when
all guards and electrical enclosures
are in place.
_1_ 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
and
normal sources of supply.
_1_ CAUTION
Welding the generator set.
Can
cause
severe
electrical
equipment
damage.
Never
weld
components
of the
generator
set
without
first
disconnecting
the battery, controller
wiring harness, and engine electronic
control module (ECM).
Grounding
electrical
equipment.
Hazardous
voltage
can
cause
severe injury or death. Electrocution
is possible whenever
electricity is
present.
Open
the
main
circuit
breakers of all power sources before
servicing the equipment. Configurethe
installation
to electrically ground the
generator
set, transfer switch, and
related
equipment
and
electrical
circuitsto comply with applicable codes
and
standards.
Never
contact
electrical leads or appliances
when
standing in water or on wet ground
because these conditions increase the
risk of electrocution.
