TP-6376 3/088 Safety Precautions and Instructions
Checking the coolant level. Hot
coolant can cause severe injury or
death. Allow the engine to cool.
Release pressure from the cooling
system before removing the pressure
cap. To release pressure, cover the
pressure cap with a thick cloth and then
slowly turn the cap counterclockwise to
the first stop. Remove the cap after
pressure has been completely
released and the engine has cooled.
Check the coolant level at the tank if the
generator set has a coolant recovery
tank.
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.
Notice
NOTICE
Hardware damage. The engine and
generator set may use both American
Standard and metric hardware. Use
the correct size tools to prevent
rounding of the bolt heads and nuts.
NOTICE
When replacing hardware, do not
substitute with inferior grade
hardware. Screws and nuts are
available in different hardness ratings.
To indicate hardness, American
Standard hardware uses a series of
markings, and metric hardware uses a
numeric system. Check the markings
on the bolt heads and nuts for
identification.
