TP-6953 7/19280 Section 16 Additional 4PX/4QX Alternator Information
Accidental starting.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Disconnect the battery cables before
working on the generator set.
Remove the negative (- ) lead first
when disconnecting the battery.
Reconnect the negative (- ) lead last
when reconnecting the battery.
WARNING
Disabling the generator set. Accidental starting can
cause severe injury or death. Before working on the
generator set or equipment connected to the set, disable the
generator set as follows: (1) Press the generator set off/reset
button to shut down the generator set. (2) Disconnect the
power to the battery charger, if equipped. (3) Remove the
battery cables, negative (- ) lead first. Reconnect the negative
(- ) lead last when reconnecting the battery. Follow these
precautions to prevent the starting of the generator set by the
remote start/stop switch.
Hot engine and exhaust system.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Do not work on the generator set until
it cools.
WARNING
Servicing the exhaust system. Hot parts can cause
severe injury or death. Do not touch hot engine parts. The
engine and exhaust system components become extremely
hot during operation.
Explosive fuel vapors.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Use extreme care when handling,
storing, and using fuels.
WARNING
The fuel system. Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe
injury or death. Vaporized fuels are highly explosive. Use
extreme care when handling and storing fuels. Store fuels in a
well-ventilated area away from spark-producing equipment
and out of the reach of children. Never add fuel to the tank
while the engine is running because spilled fuel may ignite on
contact with hot parts or from sparks. Do not smoke or permit
flames or sparks to occur near sources of spilled fuel or fuel
vapors. Keep the fuel lines and connections tight and in good
condition. Do not replace flexible fuel lines with rigid lines. Use
flexible sections to avoid fuel line breakage caused by
vibration. Do not operate the generator set in the presence of
fuel leaks, fuel accumulation, or sparks. Repair fuel systems
before resuming generator set operation.
Draining the fuel system. Explosive fuel vapors can
cause severe injury or death. Spilled fuel can cause an
explosion. Use a container to catch fuel when draining the fuel
system. Wipe up spilled fuel after draining the system.
Remember to perform the following steps prior to
disassembling the generator set.
1. Disconnect (negative lead first) and remove
starting batteries from work area to prevent fire
hazard. Disconnect AC-powered accessories,
such as battery charger, block heater, battery
heater, and fuel transfer pump (if equipped).
2. Shut off fuel supply. Drain fuel system as
necessary by emptying fuel into proper container s.
Remove fuel containers from work area to prevent
fire hazard. Ventilate the work area to clear fumes.
3. Disconnect fuel, cooling, and exhaust systems as
necessary to tilt generator set. Disconnect output
leads or load circuit cables at generator set.
4. Any cranes, hoists, or other lifting devices used in
the d isassembly or reassembly procedure must be
rated for the weight of the generator set. Check
generator set nameplate or spec sheet for weight.
