TP-5353 8/94 Safety Precautions and Instructions III
Carbon monoxide can cause severe nausea,
fainting, or death. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous
gas which is present in exhaust gases. Carbon
monoxide poisoning symptoms include but are not
limited to the following:
D Light-headedness, dizziness
D Physical fatigue, weakness in joints and muscles
D Sleepiness, mental fatigue, inability to concentrate
or speak clearly, blurred vision
D Stomachache, vomiting, nausea
If any of these symptoms is experienced and carbon
monoxide poisoning is possible, affected persons
should seek fresh air immediately. They should remain
active. They should not be permitted to sit, lie down, or
fall asleep. Alert others to the situation. If the condition
of affected persons does not improve within minutes of
breathing fresh air, they should seek medical attention.
Carbon monoxide can cause severe nausea,
fainting, or death. Do not use copper tubing in diesel
exhaust systems. Diesel fumes can rapidly destroy
copper tubing in diesel exhaust systems. Exhaust sulfur
causes rapid deterioration of copper tubing resulting in
exhaust leakage.
Fuel System
Explosive fuel vapors.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Use extreme care when handling, storing,
and using fuels.
WARNING
Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or
death. All fuels are highly explosive in a vapor state.
Use extreme care when handling and storing fuels.
Store fuel 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 since spilled fuel may ignite on contact with hot
parts or from ignition spark. Do not smoke or permit
flame or spark to occur near potential sources of spilled
fuel or fuel vapors. Keep fuel lines and connections tight
and in good condition. Do not replace flexible fuel lines
with rigid lines. Flexible sections are used to avoid
breakage due to vibration. If any fuel leakage, fuel
accumulation, or electrical sparks are noted, DO NOT
OPERATE GENERATOR SET. Repair systems before
resuming generator set operation
