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.
Explosive fuel vapors can cause
severe injury or death.
additional precautions when using the
following fuels:
Propane (LP)—Adequate ventilation
is mandatory.
Because propane is
heavier than air, install propane gas
detectors low in a room. Inspect the
detectors
per
the
manufacturer's
instructions.
Natural Gas—Adequate ventilation is
mandatory. Because natural gas rises,
install natural gas detectors high in a
room. Inspect the detectors per the
manufacturer's instructions.
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
(10--14 inches water column). Do not
use a soap solution containing either
ammonia or chlorine because both
prevent bubble formation. A successful
test depends on the ability of the
solution to bubble.
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.

DANGER
Take
Hazardous voltage.
Will cause severe injury or death.
Disconnect all power sources before
opening the enclosure.
WARNING
Hazardous voltage.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Operate the generator set only when
all guards and electrical enclosures
are in place.
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

CAUTION
Welding the generator set.
Can cause severe electrical equip-
ment damage.
Never weld components of the
generator set without first discon-
necting the battery, controller wiring
harness, and engine electronic con-
trol module (ECM).
Grounding electrical equipment.
Hazardous
severe injury or death. Electrocution
is possible whenever electricity is
present. Ensure you comply with all
applicable
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.
Disconnecting the electrical load.
Hazardous
severe injury or death. Disconnect
the generator set from the load by
turning off the line circuit breaker or by
disconnecting the generator set output
leads from the transfer switch and
heavily taping the ends of the leads.
Moving parts.
High voltage transferred to the load
during testing may cause personal
injury and equipment damage. Do not
use the safeguard circuit breaker in
place of the line circuit breaker. The
safeguard circuit breaker does not
disconnect the generator set from the
load.
Welding on the generator set. Can
cause severe electrical equipment
damage.
