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.
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 coolant and steam.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Before removing the pressure cap, stop the generator set and allow it to cool. Then loosen
the pressure cap to relieve pressure. Fill system before starting unit.
Hazardous voltage. Moving parts.
Will cause severe injury or death.
Operate the generator set only when all guards and electrical enclosures are in place.
Servicing the generator set when it is operating. Exposed moving parts will 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.
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.
Note:
Engine damage. Bleed the air from the cooling system to prevent overheating and subsequent engine damage. Refer to the
engine operation manual for coolant bleed locations.
Note:
Block heater damage. The block heater will fail if the energized heater element is not immersed in coolant. Fill the cooling
system before turning on the block heater. Run the engine until it is warm, and refill the radiator to purge the air from the system
before energizing the block heater.
8.1 Coolant Level Check
Check the coolant level in the coolant recovery tank (if equipped). Maintain the coolant level between the high and low marks.
Use the site glass on the radiator to check the coolant level.
Note:
Periodically check the coolant level by removing the pressure cap. Do not rely solely on the level in the coolant recovery tank (if
equipped). Add fresh coolant until the level is just below the overflow tube opening of the filler neck.
