General Precautions (cont'd)
Mechanical
• Always make sure the power switch is in its "STOP" position. Disconnect the spark plug wire
and allow the engine to completely cool before carrying out maintenance.
• Check for damaged parts. Before using the generator, any part that appears damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment and binding of moving parts, any broken parts or cracked mounting fixtures,
and any other condition that may affect proper operation.
• The generator is designed with safety guards for protection against contact with moving parts.
In any case, care must still be taken to protect personnel and equipment from other mechanical
hazards when working in the vicinity of the generator.
• Do not operate the generator without safety guards. While the generator is running, do not
attempt to reach around the safety guard for maintenance or any other reason.
• Keep hands, arms, long hair, loose clothing, and jewelry away from moving parts. Be aware
that when engine parts are moving fast they cannot be seen clearly.
• Keep access doors closed and locked when access to the generator is not required.
• When working on or in the vicinity the generator, always wear protective clothing including ANSI
approved safety gloves, safety eye goggles, and safety hats.
• Do not alter or adjust any part of the generator that is assembled and supplied by the
manufacturer.
• Always follow and complete scheduled engine and generator maintenance.
Chemicals
• Avoid contact with hot fuel, oil, exhaust fumes, and hot solid surfaces.
• Avoid body contact with fuels, oils, and lubricants used in the generator. If swallowed, seek
medical treatment immediately. If fuel is swallowed, do not induce vomiting. For skin contact
with fuel, immediately wash with soap and water. For eye contact with fuel, immediately flush
eyes with clean water and seek medical attention.
