Warning Statements Continued

Installation

WARNING: Installation and servicing of batteries is to be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.

WARNING: Disconnect the battery’s ground terminal before working in the vicinity of the battery or battery wires. Contact with the battery can result in electrical shock when a tool accidently touches the positive battery terminal or wire. The risk of such shock is reduced when the ground lead is removed during installation and maintenance.

WARNING: An open bottom stationary engine generator set must be installed over noncombustible materials and shall be located such that it prevents combustible materials from accumulating under the generator set.

WARNING: Installation and repair procedures requires specialized skills with electrical generating equipment and small engine systems. Any person that installs or performs repairs must have these specialized skills to ensure that the generator set is safe to operate. Contact Baldor for installation or repairs.

WARNING: Be sure all wiring complies with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all regional and local codes or CE Compliance. Improper wiring may cause a hazardous condition and exposure to electrical hazards can cause serious injury or death.

WARNING: Be sure the system is properly grounded before applying power. Do not apply AC power before you ensure that grounds are connected. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. NEC requires that the frame and exposed conductive surfaces (metal parts) be connected to an approved earth ground. Local codes may also require proper grounding of generator systems.

WARNING: Never allow the exhaust outlet to be positioned so that the exhaust gases are directed towards any openings or air entry routes (doors, windows, vents, etc...) of an occupied building. When discharging the hot exhaust gases out of the building do not direct them towards anything that could catch fire or explode.

WARNING: Place protective covers over all rotating parts such as drive shaft, pulley, belt etc. Rotating parts cause extremely dangerous situations because they can catch loose clothing or extremities and cause serious or fatal injury.

WARNING: Unauthorized modification of a generator set may make the unit unsafe for operation or may impair the operation of the unit. Never start a generator set that has been modified or tampered with. Be sure that all covers and guards are properly installed and that the unit is safe before starting the engine. If you are unsure, contact Baldor before starting the engine.

WARNING: When moving the generator, use reasonable caution. Be careful where you place fingers and toes to prevent injury “Pinch Points”. Never try to lift a generator without a hoist or lift means because they are heavy and bodily injury may result.

Warning: Never connect this generator to the electrical system of any building unless a licensed electrician has installed an approved transfer switch. The national electrical code (NEC) requires that connection of a generator to any electrical circuit normally powered by means of an electric utility must be connected by means of approved transfer switch equipment to isolate the electrical circuit from the utility distribution system when the generator is operating. Failure to isolate the electrical circuits by such means may result in injury or death to utility power workers due to backfeed of electrical energy onto the utility lines.

WARNING: Circuit overload protection must be provided in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local regulations.

WARNING: Check Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) receptacles monthly by using the “Test” and “Reset” buttons.

WARNING: Only a professional experienced technician should install a fuel supply system. LPG and natural gas fuels are flammable and can cause fire, explosions, injury or death. Fuel supply lines should be kept away from sharp objects to prevent rupture. Comply with all NFPA regulations and local codes for shut−off valves, regulators, fuel line type, connectors etc.

WARNING: Have electrical circuits and wiring installed and checked by licensed electrician or qualified technician. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury.

WARNING: Incorrect installation of this generator set could result in property damage, injury or death. Connection of the generator to its fuel source must be done by a qualified professional technician or contractor.
