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.

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. Before welding on the
generator set perform the following
steps: (1) Remove the battery cables,
