TP-6447 10/12 5Safety Precautions and Instructions
Safety Precautions and Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
Electromechanical equipment,
including generator sets, transfer
switches, switchgear, and
accessories, can cause bodily harm
and pose life-threatening danger when
improperly installed, operated, or
maintained. To prevent accidents be
aware of potential dangers and act
safely. Read and follow all safety
precautions and instructions. SAVE
THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This manual has several types of
safety precautions and instructions:
Danger, Warning, Caution, and Notice.
DANGER
Danger indicates the presence of a
hazard that will cause severe
personal injury, death,or
substantial property damage.
WARNING
Warning indicates the presence of a
hazard that can cause severe
personal injury, death, or
substantial property damage.
CAUTION
Caution indicates the presence of a
hazard that will or can cause minor
personal injury or property damage.
NOTICE
Notice communicates installation,
operation, or maintenance information
that is safety related but not hazard
related.
Safety decals affixed to the equipment
in prominent places alert the operator
or service technician to potential
hazards and explain how to act safely.
The decals are shown throughout this
publication to improve operator
recognition. Replace missing or
damaged decals.
Accidental Starting
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
connected equipment, disable t he
generator set as follows: (1) Move the
generator set master switch to the OFF
position. (2) Disconnect the power to
the battery charger. (3) Remove the
battery cables, negative (--) lead first.
Reconnect the negative (--) lead last
when reconnecting the battery. Follow
these precautions to prevent starting of
the generator set by an automatic
transfer switch, remote start/stop
switch, or engine start command from a
remote computer.
Hazardous Voltage/
Moving Parts
Hazardous voltage.
Will cause severe injury or death.
Disconnect all power sources before
opening the enclosure.
DANGER
Hazardous voltage.
Will cause severe injury or death.
Only authorized personnel should
open the enclosure.
DANGER
Hazardous voltage.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Operate the generator set only when
all guards and electrical enclosures
areinplace.
Moving parts.
WARNING
Grounding electrical equipment.
Hazardous voltage can cause
severe injury or death. Electrocution
is possible whenever electricity is
present. Ensure you comply with all
applicable codes and standards.
Electrically ground the generator set,
transfer switch, and related equipment
and electrical circuits. Turn off the
main circuit breakers of all power
sources before servicing the
equipment. Never contact electrical
leads or appliances when standing in
water or on wet ground because these
conditions increase the risk of
electrocution.
Removing the transfer switch from
bypass/isolation models.
Hazardous voltage can cause
severe injury or death. Bypass and
isolate the transfer switch before
removing it from the enclosure. The
bypass/isolation switch is energized.
Do not touch the isolation contact
fingers or the control circuit terminals.
Installing the battery charger.
Hazardous voltage can cause
severe injury or death. An
ungrounded battery charger may
cause electrical shock. Connect the
battery charger enclosure to the
ground of a permanent wiring system.
As an alternative, install an equipment
grounding conductor with circuit
