2.2 Service Safety
A poorly maintained machine can become a safety hazard! In order
for the machine to operate safely and properly over a long period of
time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary.
2.2.1 NEVER perform even routine service (oil/filter changes, cleaning,
etc.) unless all electrical components are shut down. Before
servicing this machine, make sure the engine start switch is turned to
off “O”, the circuit breakers are open (off), the emergency stop switch
is closed (pushed in), and the negative terminal on battery is
disconnected. Attach a “DO NOT START” sign to the control panel.
This will notify everyone that the unit is being serviced and will reduce
the chance of someone inadvertently trying to start the unit. If the unit
is connected to a remote start or transfer switch, make sure the remote
switch is also off and tagged.
2.2.2 Ground Connection
The generator must be connected to a good earthen ground for
proper operating safety!
A central “equipment ground” is provided at the customer connection
lugs. This point is connected directly to the generator set base. All
other system grounds are connected to this central point. Ground the
generator in accordance with the standards defined in national, state
and local regulations.
2.2.3 DO NOT attempt to open the radiator cap while the unit is running or
before the engine has cooled down. Severe burns may result!
2.2.4 DO NOT allow water to accumulate around the base of the machine.
If water is present, move the machine and allow the machine to dry
before servicing.
2.2.5 DO NOT service the machine if your clothing or skin is wet.
2.2.6 DO NOT allow untrained personnel to service this equipment. Only
trained electrical technicians should be allowed to service the electrical
components of this equipment.
2.2.7 DO NOT modify the machine without the express written approval of
the manufacturer.
2.2.8 DO NOT pressure wash the control panel, generator end, or any other
electrical components when cleaning the unit. Never allow water to
accumulate around the base of the generator set. If water is present,
DO NOT service!
2.2.9 ALWAYS replace the safety devices and guards after repairs and
maintenance.
2.2.10 ALWAYS let the engine cool before transporting or servicing it.
