Installation Guidelines for Spark-Ignited Stationary Emergency Generators 1
Section 1 Safety
1.1 — Introduction
Read this manual thoroughly. If any portion is not understood, contact the nearest Authorized Service Dealer for
clarification. The manufacturer also requires having an Authorized Service Dealer oversee the installation of any
standby generator set. Trained/qualified service technicians familiar with the control systems and available options
have full access to drawings, publications, and other information required for a successful installation.
1.2 — Safety Rules
Throughout this publication, and on tags and decals affixed to the generator, DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and
NOTE boxes are used to alert personnel to special instructions about a particular operation that may be hazardous if
performed incorrectly or carelessly. Observe them carefully. They indicate:
INDICATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION OR ACTION WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, WILL RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
Indicates a hazardous situation or action which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTE: Notes provide additional information important to a procedure or component.
These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards they indicate. Observing safety precautions and strict compliance
with the special instructions while performing the action or service are essential to preventing accidents.
Four commonly used safety symbols accompany DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION boxes and the type of informa-
tion each indicates:
This symbol points out important safety information that, if not followed, could
endanger personnel and/or property.
This symbol represents the potential for an Explosion Hazard.
This symbol represents the potential for a Fire Hazard.
This symbol represents the potential for an Electrical Shock Hazard.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important instructions that should be
followed during installation of the generator set and batteries. The manufacturer suggests
that these safety rules be copied and posted in potential hazard areas. Safety should
be stressed to all installers, operators, potential operators, and service and repair
technicians for this equipment.
The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a hazard. The warnings in
this manual, and on tags and decals affixed to the unit, are not all-inclusive. If using a procedure, work method, or oper-
ating technique the manufacturer does not specifically recommend, ensure that it is safe for others. Also make sure the
procedure, work method, or operating technique used does not render the generator unsafe.
