apply the product. The application by Buyer shall not be subject to any implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.
• For safety, Buyer or User should provide protective guards over all shaft extensions and any moving
apparatus mounted thereon. The User is responsible for checking all applicable safety codes in his area and providing
suitable guards. Failure to do so may result in bodily injury and/or damage to equipment.
• Hot oil can cause severe burns. Use extreme care when removing lubrication plugs.
• Disconnect power and lock out drive equipment before working on a generator.
• Always keep hands and clothing away from moving parts.
• The lifting eyes on the generator are not to be used to lift the entire generator set. Only the generator may be safely
lifted by the lifting eyes. Do not use the conduit box for lifting or support of the generator.
• Install and ground the generator per local and national codes.
• Discharge all capacitors before servicing the generator.
• Misapplication of a generator in a hazardous environment can cause fire or an explosion and result in serious injury.
• Never attempt to measure the temperature rise of a generator by touch. Temperature rise must be measured by
thermometer, resistance, imbedded detector or thermocouple.
• Operation of a generator at higher than its nameplate ratings may result in fire, damage to equipment or serious injury
to personnel.
• Do not apply any force to the generator fan when rotating the generator rotor.
• Generators should not be operated faster than their rated speed.
• The following statement is only applicable to high voltage generators (above 5000 V). A grounding strap is supplied
from the generator neutral to ground. This grounding strap not only bleeds off any voltage potential on the main stator
after the high potential test, but also bleeds off any static charge that can build-up on the main stator during shipment
and storage. THIS GROUND STRAP IS NOT A PERMANENT PART OF THE GENERATOR CONSTRUCTION. REMOVE
THIS GROUND STRAP ONLY AFTER A PERMANENT GROUND IS INSTALLED ON THE GENERATOR MAIN STATOR
(not supplied by Marathon Electric), OR THE GENERATOR FINAL INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.
• Mounting bolts should be routinely checked to ensure that the unit is firmly anchored for proper operation.

• Make sure the generator is properly secured and aligned before operation.
• When installing the generator, insure that loose parts or tools do not fall inside the generator.
• When connecting the generator, be sure to follow the correct wiring diagram for the desired voltage. Insure that the
voltage regulator is connected per the wiring diagram.
