WORDS
ABOUT
SAFETY
PLEASE
REMEMBER
SAFETY FIRST.
If
you are not sure
of
the instructions
or
procedures
contained herein, seek qualified help before continuing.ยท
This manual emphasizes the safety precautions necessary during the installation, operation, and
maintenance
of
your Lima" MAC 260 Frame generator. Each section has caution and warning messages.
These messages are for your safety, and the safety
of
the equipment involved.
If
any
of
the cautions or
warnings are not readily understood, seek clarification from qualified personnel before proceeding.
Before any service work
is
done, disconnect
all
power sources and, where appropriate, lock out
all
controls to prevent an unexpected stan-up
of
the generator set driver. Proper grounding ( eanhing)
in
compliance with local and national electrical codes and standards must be provided. These safety
precautions are necessary to prevent potential serious personal injury,
or
even death.
The hazards associated with lifting
or
moving your Lima" MAC generator are pointed
out
in
the
installation and service sections. Incorrect lifting
or
moving can result
in
personal injury
or
damage to
the unit.
Prior to
stan-up
of
the unit insure that
all
generator leads are properly and securely connected to the
terminal strip. Always assume
that
there will be voltage present
at
the
generator
terminals
whenever
the
generator's
shaft
is
rotating,
and
proceed accordingly.
Whenever solvents, cleaners,
or
flammable liquids are present, adequate ventilation must be available
to avoid fire, explosion, and health hazards. Always avoid breathing vapors and use suitable personal
protective equipment to prevent personal injuries.
(Such as head, eyes, face, feet, and hand protection)
This manual
is
not intended to be a substitute for properly trained personnel. Installation and repairs
should only be attempted
by
qualified trained people. The cautions and warnings point out known
conditions and situations that are potentially hazardous. Each installation may well create its own set
of
hazards. No manual can cover every possible situation.
When in doubt, ask. Don't be embarrassed to ask questions. Sincere questions are much easier
to
handle
than mistakes caused by a misunderstanding
of
the information presented
in
this manual.
