! Do not smoke or allow sparks, flames or other sour-
ces of ignition around gas line or batteries.
! Turn off or disconnect the power to the battery char-
ger before making or breaking connections with the
battery.
! To avoiding arcing keep grounded conductive objects
(such as tools) away from exposed live electrical parts
(such as terminals).

2.4. Mechanical

The generating set is designed with guards for pro-
tection from moving parts. Care must still be taken to
protect personnel and equipment from other mecha-
nical hazards when working around the generating set
WARNING
! Do not attempt to operate the generating set with
the safety guards removed. While the generating set
is running do not attempt to reach under or around
the guards to do maintenance or for any other reason.
! Keep hands; arms, long hair, loose clothing and jewelry
away from pulleys, belts and other moving parts.
Attention: Some moving parts
cannot be seen clearly when the
set is running.
! If equipped keep access doors on enclosures closed
and locked when not required to be open.
! Avoid contact with hot oil, hot coolant hot surfaces
and sharp edges and corners.
! Wear protective clothing including gloves and hat
when working around the generating set.
! Do not remove the radiator filler cap until the coolant
has cooled.
Then loosen the cap slowly to relieve any excess pres-
sure before removing.

2.5. Chemical

Oils, coolants, lubricants and battery
electrolyte used in this generating set
are typical of the industry. However, they can be hazardous
to personnel if not treated properly.
WARNING
! Do not swallow or allow skin con-
tact with oil, coolant lubricants or
battery electrolyte. If swallowed,
seek medical treatment immediately.
! Do not wear clothing that has been contaminated
by lube oil.
! Wear an acid resistant apron and lace shield or gogg-
les when servicing the battery. If electrolyte is spilled on
skin or clothing flush immediately with large quantities
of water.

2.6. Noise

Generating sets that are not equ-
ipped with sound attenuating enc-
losures can produce noise levels in
excess of 105 dB(A). Prolonged ex-
posure to noise levels above 85 dB(A) is hazardous
to hearing.
WARNING
Ear protection must be worn when
operating or working around an op-
erating generating set.

2.7. Electrical

Effective and safe operation of electrical equipment,
it is only ensured by the correct placement, use and
maintenance of equipment.
WARNING
! The generating set must be connected to the load
only by trained and qualified electricians who are au-
thorized to do so, and in compliance with relevant
Electrical Codes, Standards and other regulations.
! Ensure that the generator set is effectively earthed/
grounded in accordance with all relevant regulations
before starting.
! The generating set should be shutdown with the
battery negative (-) terminal disconnected prior to at-
tempting to connect or disconnect load connections.
! Do not attempt to connect or disconnect load con-
nections while standing in water or on wet or soggy
ground.
! Do not touch electrically energized parts of the
generating set and/or interconnecting cables or con-
ductors with any part of the body or with any non
insulated conductive object.
