Mounting and Dismounting
SMCS Code: 1000; 7405
Do not climb on the engine, and do not jump off the
engine. Do not stand on the components which can
not support your weight. Mount the engine and
dismount the engine only at locations that have steps
and/or handholds.
When the engine is being worked on, clean the steps,
the handholds, and the work areas.
Doors for Generator Enclosures
Strong winds may lift the doors for generator
enclosures off the hinge pins.
If strong winds threaten to lift the doors for generator
enclosures, the doors should be removed from the
hinges in order to help prevent damage.

Sound Information
SMCS Code: 1000
Note: Information of the sound level is for machines
in European Union countries and in countries that
adopt the directives of the European Union.
NOTICE
Hearing protection may be needed when working
near an operating generator set.
Sound levels will vary depending on the configuration
of the generator set and the final installation of the
generator set.
Refer to the following for sound levels:
• The sound pressure level of a complete generator
set (including the radiator) at 1 meter is 109 dB(A)
for the noisiest configuration when “ISO 8528-
10:1998(E) clause 14” is used at 75 percent of the
rated power.
• The sound power level of a complete generator
set (including the radiator) that is not covered by
the “European Union Directive 2000/14/EC” is 125
dB(A) for the noisiest configuration when “ISO
8528-10:1998(E) clause 13” is used at 75 per cent
of the rated power.
Note: The preceding sound levels are emission
levels. The preceding sound levels are not
necessarily safe sound levels. There is a correlation
between the emission levels and the level of
exposure. The correlation between emission levels
and the level of exposure can not be used to
determine if further precautions are required.
Refer to the following for factors that influence the
level of exposure:
• The characteristics of the area around the
generator set
• Other sources of noise
• The number of machines and other adjacent
processes
• The length of time of exposure to the noise
This information will enable the user of the machine
to evaluate the hazard and the risk.

Before Starting Engine
SMCS Code: 1000
Inspect the engine for potential hazards.
All protective guards and all protective covers must
be installed if the engine must be started in order to
perform service procedures. To help prevent an
accident that is caused by parts in rotation, work
around the parts carefully.
Do not bypass the automatic shutoff circuits. Do not
disable the automatic shutoff circuits. The circuits are
provided in order to help prevent personal injury. The
circuits are also provided in order to help prevent
engine damage.
On the initial start-up of a new engine or an engine
that has been overhauled, be prepared to stop the
engine if an overspeed condition occurs. This may be
accomplished by shutting off the fuel supply to the
engine and/or shutting off the air supply to the
engine.
To stop an electrically controlled engine, cut the
power to the engine.
See the Service Manual for repairs and for
adjustments.

Engine Starting
SMCS Code: 1000
If a warning tag is attached to the engine start switch
or to the controls, DO NOT start the engine or move
the controls. Consult with the person that attached
the warning tag before the engine is started.
All protective guards and all protective covers must
be installed if the engine must be started in order to
perform service procedures. To help prevent an
accident that is caused by parts in rotation, work
around the parts carefully.
