DANGER:
Never use damaged or worn cables when connecting equipment to the generator. Make sure power
c o n n e c t i n g cables are securely connected to the
generator’s output terminals, insufficient tightening of the terminal connections may cause damage to the generator and electrical shock.
DANGER:
DANGER:
CAUTION:
DO NOT touch or open any of the below mentioned components while the generator is running. Always allow sufficient time for the engine and generator to cool before performing maintenance.
Radiator
1.Radiator Cap - Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot will result in high pressurized, boiling water to gush out of the radiator, causing severe scalding to any persons in the general area of the generator.
2.Coolant Drain Plug - Removing the coolant drain plug while the engine is hot will result in hot coolant to gush out of the coolant drain plug, therefore causing severe scalding to any persons in the general area of the generator.
3.Engine Oil Drain Plug - Removing the engine oil drain plug while the engine is hot will result in hot oil to gush out of the oil drain plug, therefore causing severe scalding to any persons in the general area of the generator.
Maintenance Safety
■NEVER lubricate components or attempt service on a running machine.
■ALWAYS allow the machine a proper amount of time to cool before servicing.
■NEVER touch output terminals during operation. This is extremely dangerous. ALWAYS stop the machine and place the circuit breaker in the “OFF” position when contact with the output terminals is required. There exists the possibility of electrocution, electrical shock or burn, which can cause severe bodily harm or even death!
■Keep the machinery in proper running condition.
■Fix damage to the machine immediately and always replace broken parts.
