WARNING
Airborne particles.
Can cause severe
blindness.
Wear protective goggles and clothing
when using power tools, hand tools,
or compressed air.
Tightening the hardware.
projectiles can cause severe injury
or death. Loose hardware can cause
the hardware or pulley to release from
the generator set engine and can cause
personal injury. Retorque
crankshaft and rotor hardware after
servicing. Do not loosen the crankshaft
hardware or rotor thrubolt when making
adjustments or servicing the generator
set. Rotate the crankshaft manually in
a clockwise direction only. Turning the
crankshaft bolt or rotor
counterclockwise can loosen
hardware.
Servicing the generator set when it
is operating. Exposed moving parts
can cause severe injury or death.
Keep hands, feet, hair, clothing, and
test leads away from the belts and
pulleys when the generator set is
running. Replace guards, screens, and
covers before operating the generator
set.

NOTICE
When replacing hardware, do not
substitute with inferior
hardware. Screws and nuts are
available in different hardness ratings.
To indicate hardness,
Standard hardware uses a series of
markings, and metric hardware uses a
numeric system. Check the markings
on the bolt heads and nuts for
identification.
NOTICE
Electrostatic discharge damage.
Electrostatic discharge
damages electronic circuit boards.
Prevent electrostatic
damage by wearing an approved
grounding wrist strap when handling
electronic circuit boards or integrated
circuits. An approved grounding wrist
strap provides a high resistance (about
1 megohm), not a direct short, to
ground.
NOTICE
Fuse replacement. Replace fuses
with fuses of the same ampere rating
and type (for example: 3AB or 314,
ceramic). Do not substitute clear
glass-type fuses for ceramic fuses.
Refer to the wiring diagram when the
ampere rating is unknown
questionable.
NOTICE
Saltwater damage. Saltwater quickly
deteriorates metals. Wipe up saltwater
on and around the generator set and
remove salt deposits from metal
surfaces.
