IV Safety Precautions and Instructions TP-6079 3/00
Electrical backfeed to the utility.
Hazardous backfeed voltage can
cause severe injury or death.
Connect the generator set to the
building/campground electrical system
only through an approved device and
after the building/campground main
switch is opened. Backfeed
connections can cause serious injury
or death to utility personnel working on
power lines and/or personnel near the
work area. Some states and localities
prohibit unauthorized connection to the
utility electrica l system. Install a
transfer switch to prevent
interconnection of the generator set
power and other sources of power.
Testing live electrical circuits.
Hazardous voltage or current can
cause severe injury or death. Have
trained and qualified personnel take
diagnostic measurements of live
circuits. Use adequately rated test
equipment with electrically insulated
probes and follow the instructions of the
test equipment manufacturer when
performing voltage tests. Observe the
following precautions when performing
voltage tests: (1) Remove rings,
wristwatch, and jewelry. (2) Stand on a
dry, approved electrically insulated
mat. (3) Do not touch the enclosure or
components inside the enclosure. (4)
Be prepared for the system to operate
automatically.
(600 volts and under)
Hot Parts
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.
Combustible materials. Fire can
cause severe injury or death. A hot
exhaust system can ignite adjacent
combustible materials. Do not locate
electrical wiring, fuel lines, or
combustible materials above the
exhaust muffler. Exercise caution
when parking your vehicle to prevent
the exhaust system and hot exhaust
gases from starting grass fires.
Combustible materials. Fire can
cause severe injury or death. A hot
generator set can ignite debris in the
compartment. Keep the compartment
and generator set clean and free of
debris and combustible materials to
minimize the possibility of fire. Do not
block the fuel/oil drain opening in the
generator set mounting tray. Cut a
corresponding hole in the subfloor, if
used, for the drain opening.
Moving Parts
Hazardous voltage.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Operate the generator set only when
all guards and electrical enclosures
areinplace.
Moving ro tor.
WARNING
Rotating parts.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Operate the generator set only when
all guards, screens, and covers are in
place.
WARNING
Tightening the hardware. Flying
projectiles can cause severe injury
or death. Loose hardware can cause
the hardware or pulley to release from
the generator set engine and can
cause personal injury. Retorque all
crankshaft and rotor hardware after
servicing. Do not loosen the crankshaft
hardware or rotor thrubolt when making
adjustments or servicing the generator
set. Rotate the crankshaft manually in
a clockwise direction only. Turning the
crankshaft bolt or rotor thrubolt
counterclockwise can loosen the
hardware.
Servicing the generator set when it is
operating. Exposed moving parts
can cause severe injury or death.
Keep hands, feet, hair, clothing, and
test leads away from the belts and
pulleys when the generator set is
running. Replace guards, screens,and
covers before operating the generator
set.
