IV Safety Precautions and Instructions TP-5977 7/98
Engine block heater. Hazardous
voltage can cause severe injury or
death. Engine block heater can cause
electricalshock. Remove engine block
heaterplug fromelectrical outletbefore
working on block heater electrical
connections.
Electrical backfeed to utility.
Hazardous backfeed voltage can
cause severe injury or death.
Connect generator set to
building/campground electrical system
only through an approved device and
after building/campground main switch
is open. Backfeed connections can
cause serious injury or death to utility
personnel working on power lines
and/or personnel in the vicinity of the
work area. Unauthorized connectionto
utilityelectricalsystemmay beunlawful
in some states and/or localities. Install
a transfer switch to prevent
interconnection of generator set power
and other sources of power.
Servicing generator set. Hazardous
voltage can cause severe injury or
death. Do not touch electrical
connections when flashing the
generator set. Line voltage is present
at the alligator clips when the
pushbutton is pressed to flash the
generator set.
Heavy Equipment
Unbalanced weight.
Improper lift can cause severe
injury or death and/or equipment
damage.
Do not use lifting eyes.
Use slings under skid to balance and
lift generator set.
WARNING
Hot Parts
Hot coolant and steam.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Before removing pressure cap, stop
generator set and allow it to cool.
Then loosen pressure cap to relieve
pressure.
WARNING
Hot engine and exhaust system.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Do notwork ongeneratorsetuntilitis
allowed to cool.
WARNING
Checking coolant level. Hot coolant
can cause severe injury or death.
Allowenginetocool. Releasepressure
from cooling system before opening
pressure cap. To release pressure,
cover the pressure cap with a thick
cloth; then slowly turn it
counterclockwise to the first stop.
Remove cap after pressure has been
completely released and the engine
hascooled. Checkcoolantlevelattank
if generator set is equipped with a
coolant recovery tank.
Servicing exhaustsystem. Hotparts
can cause severeinjuryordeath. Do
not touch hot engine parts. An engine
becomes hot while running and
exhaust system components become
extremely hot.
Combustible materials. Fire can
cause severe injury or death. Hot
exhaust system can ignite adjacent
combustible materials. Do not locate
electrical wiring, fuel lines, or
combustible material above the
exhaust muffler. Exercise caution
when parking your vehicle to prevent
exhaustsystem and hotexhaustgases
from starting grass fires.
Moving Parts
Hazardous voltage. Moving rotor.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Operate generator set only with all
guards and electrical enclosures in
place.
WARNING
Rotating parts.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Do not operate generator set without
all guards, screens, and covers in
place.
WARNING
Tightening hardware. Flying
projectiles can cause severe injury
or death. Retorque all crankshaftand
rotor hardware after servicing. Do not
loosen crankshaft hardware or rotor
thrubolt when making adjustments or
servicing generator set. Rotate
crankshaft manually in a clockwise
direction only. Turning crankshaft bolt
or rotor thrubolt counterclockwise can
loosen hardware. Loose hardware can
cause hardware or pulley to release
from engine of generator set and can
cause personal injury.
Servicing generator set when
operating. Exposed moving parts
can cause severe injury or death.
Keep hands, feet, hair, clothing, and
test leads away from belts and pulleys
when generator set is running.
