Hazardous Voltage/
Electrical Shock
WARNING
Hazardous voltage.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Operate generator set only with all guards and
electrical enclosures in place.
WARNING
Hazardous voltage.
Backfeed to utility system can cause property
damage, severe injury, or death.
If generator set is used for standby power, install
an automatic transfer switch to prevent inadvertent
interconnection of standby and normal sources of
supply.
Grounding generator set. Hazardous voltage can
cause severe injury or death.
possible whenever electricity is present. Open main
circuit breakers of all power sources before servicing
equipment. Configure the installation to electrically
ground the generator set and electrical circuits when in
use. Never contact electrical leads or appliances when
standing in water or on wet ground, as the chance of
electrocution is increased under such conditions.
High voltage test. Hazardous voltage can cause
severe injury or death. Follow instructions of test
equipment manufacturer when performing high-voltage
test on rotor or stator. An improper test procedure can
damage equipment or lead to future generator set
failures.
VIII Safety Precautions and Instructions
Moving rotor.
Electrocution is
Installing battery charger. Hazardous voltage can
cause severe injury or death. Electrical shock may
occur if battery charger is not electrically grounded.
Connect battery charger enclosure to ground of a
permanent wiring system. As an alternative, install an
equipment grounding conductor with circuit conductors
and connect to equipment grounding terminal or lead on
battery charger. Perform battery charger installation as
prescribed in equipment manual. Install battery charger
in compliance with local codes and ordinances.
Connecting battery
Hazardous voltage can cause severe injury or
death. Reconnect battery correctly to avoid electrical
shock and damage to battery charger and battery(ies).
Have a qualified electrician install battery(ies).
Short circuits. Hazardous voltage can cause
severe injury or death. Short circuits can cause bodily
injury and/or equipment damage.
electrical connections with tools or jewelry while
adjustments are made. Remove wristwatch, rings, and
jewelry before servicing equipment.
Testing voltage regulator. Hazardous voltage can
cause severe injury or death. High voltage is present
at the voltage regulator heat sink. Do not touch voltage
regulator heat sink when testing or electrical shock will
occur.
(PowerBoostt , PowerBoostt III, and PowerBoostt V
voltage regulator models only.)
Engine block heater. Hazardous voltage can cause
severe injury or death. Engine block heater can cause
electrical shock. Remove engine block heater plug from
electrical outlet before working on block heater electrical
connections.
Electrical backfeed to utility. Hazardous backfeed
voltage can cause severe injury or death. Install a
transfer switch in standby power installations to prevent
connection of standby and other sources of power.
Electrical backfeed into a utility electrical system can
cause serious injury or death to utility personnel working
on transmission lines.
