Risks Related To Toxic Products; Risk Of Fire, Burns And Explosion - SDMO R 340 U User And Maintenance Manual

1.3.3 Risks related to toxic products

The corrosion inhibitor contains alkali.
Do not swallow it.
This substance should not come into contact with the
eyes. In the event of contact with the eyes, rinse
immediately with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes.
Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with the skin. In
the event of contact with the skin, wash thoroughly
with water and soap. CONSULT A DOCTOR
IMMEDIATELY. KEEP THE PRODUCT OUT OF
THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
Warning
The anti-rust product is toxic and dangerous if
absorbed. Avoid all contact with the skin and eyes.
Read the instructions on the packaging.
Caution: fuels and oils are dangerous to inhale. Ensure proper ventilation, and use a protective mask.
Never expose the equipment to liquid splashes or rainfall, and do not place it on wet ground.
The battery electrolyte is harmful to skin and especially eyes. If splashes get into eyes, rinse immediately with running water
and/or a 10% diluted boric acid solution.
Wear protective eyewear and strong base resistant gloves for handling the electrolyte.

1.3.4 Risk of fire, burns and explosion

The engine should not be operated in environments containing explosive products. As not all of the
electrical and mechanical components are shielded, there is a risk of sparks forming.
Danger
Make sure not to create sparks or flames, and not to smoke near the batteries, as the electrolyte gases are highly flammable
(especially if the battery is charging). Their acid also poses a risk to the skin, and in particular to the eyes.
Never cover the generating set, pump unit or lighting tower with any material during operation or just after shutdown (wait for the
engine to cool).
Do not touch hot parts such as the exhaust pipe, or put combustible materials on it.
Keep all flammable or explosive materials (e.g. petrol, oil, cloth, etc.) out of the way when the set is running.
Proper ventilation is required for your generating set, pump unit or lighting column to work properly. Without this ventilation, the
engine would very quickly rise to an excessively high temperature, causing accidents or damage to the equipment and to
surrounding property.
Do not remove the radiator cap if the engine is hot and the coolant is pressurised, due to risks of burns.
Depressurise the air, oil and cooling circuits before removing or disconnecting all the fittings, pipes or connected components.
Watch out for the possible presence of pressure when disconnecting a device from a pressurised system. Do not try to find
pressure leaks by hand. Oil at high pressure can cause bodily damage.
Some preservative oils are flammable. Also, some are dangerous to inhale. Ensure proper ventilation. Use a protective mask.
Hot oil causes burns. Avoid contact with hot oil. Check that the system is no longer pressurised before carrying out any
procedures. Never start or run the engine with the oil filler cap off (oil may splash out).
Never coat the generating set, pump unit or lighting column with a thin layer of oil to protect it from rust.
Never top up the oil or coolant if the generating set, pump unit or lighting column is running, or if the engine is hot.
A generating set can only operate when stationary, and cannot be installed on a vehicle or other mobile equipment, without a
prior study taking into account the various specific features of using the generating set.
Glycol is a toxic product and dangerous if absorbed.
Avoid all contact with the skin and eyes. Read the
instructions on the packaging.
