DO NOT OPERATE IN FLAMMABLE AND
EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS
Flammable vapor can be ignited by equipment operation
or cause a diesel engine
to
overspeed and become diff
i-
cult to stop, resulting in possible fire, explosion, severe
personal injury and death.
Do
not operate diesel equip-
ment where a flammable vapor environment can be
created by
fuel
spill,
leak, etc., unless equipped with
an automatic safety device to block the air intake and
stop the engine.
HOT COOLANT CAN CAUSE SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY
0
Hot coolant is under pressure. Do not loosen the
coolant pressure cap while the engine is hot. Let the
engine cool before opening the pressure cap.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY
OR
DEATH
0
Do not service control panel or engine with unit run-
ning. High voltages are present. Work that must be
done while unit is running should be done only by
qualified service personnel.
Do not connect the generator set to the public utility
or to any other electrical power system. Electrocu-
tion can occur at a remote site where line or equip-
ment repairs are being made. An approved transfer
switch must be used
if
more than one power source
is
connected.
Disconnect starting battery (negative
[-I
cable first)
before removing protective shields or touching elec-
trical equipment. Use insulative mats placed on dry
wood platforms. Do not wear jewelry, damp clothing
or allow skin surface to be damp when handling
electrical equipment.
Use insulated tools. Do not tamper with interlocks.
Follow all applicable state and local electrical
codes. Have all electrical installations performed by
a qualified licensed electrician. Tag open switches
to
avoid accidental closure.
With transfer switches, keep cabinet closed and
locked. Only authorized personnel
should
have
cabinet or operational keys. Due to serious shock
hazard from high voltages within cabinet, all service
and adjustments must be performed by an electri-
cian or authorized service representative.
If
the cabinet must be opened for any reason:
1.
Move genset operation switch
or
Stop/AuY
Handcrank switch (whichever applies)
to

MEDIUM VOLTAGE GENERATOR SETS
(601V TO
15kV)
Medium voltage acts differently than low voltage.
Special equipment and training are required to work
on or around medium voltage equipment. Operation
and maintenance must be done only by persons
trained and qualified to work on such devices. Im-
proper use or procedures will result in severe per-
sonal injury or death.
Do not work on energized equipment. Unauthorized
personnel must not be permitted near energized
equipment. Induced voltage remains even after
equipment is disconnected from the power source.
Plan maintenance with authorized .personnel
so
equipment can be de-energized and safely
grounded
.
Do not work on equipment when mentally or phys
cally fatigued or after consuming alcohol or drugs
Carefully follow all applicable local, state and feder-
al codes.
Never step on equipment (as when entering or leav-
ing the engine compartment).
It
can stress and
break unit components, possibly resulting in dan-
gerous operating conditions from leaking fuel, leak-
ing exhaust fumes, etc.
Keep equipment and area clean. Oil, grease, dirt, or
stowed gear can cause fire or damage equipment
by restricting airflow.
Equipment owners and operators are solely
re-
sponsible for operating equipment safely. Contact
your authorized OnanlCummins dealer or distribu-
tor for more information.
