Servicing the exhaust system. Hot parts can cause severe injury or death. Do not touch hot engine parts. The engine and exhaust system components become extremely hot during operation.
Moving Parts
WARNING
Hazardous voltage. Moving rotor. Can cause severe injury or death.
Operate the generator set only when all guards and electrical enclosures are in place.
WARNING
Rotating parts.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Operate the generator set only when all guards, screens, and covers are in place.
WARNING
Airborne particles.
Can cause severe injury or blindness.
Wear protective goggles and clothing when using power tools, hand tools, or compressed air.
Tightening the hardware. Flying projectiles can cause severe injury or death. Loose hardware can cause the hardware or pulley to release from the generator set engine and can cause
personal injury. Retorque all crankshaft and rotor hardware after servicing. Do not loosen the crankshaft hardware or rotor thrubolt when making adjustments or servicing the generator set. Rotate the crankshaft manually in a clockwise direction only. Turning the crankshaft bolt or rotor thrubolt counterclockwise can loosen the hardware.
Servicing the generator set when it is operating. Exposed moving parts can cause severe injury or death. Keep hands, feet, hair, clothing, and test leads away from the belts and pulleys when the generator set is running. Replace guards, screens, and covers before operating the generator set.
Sound shield removal. Exposed moving parts can cause severe injury or death. The generator set must be operating in order to perform some scheduled maintenance procedures. Be especially careful if the sound shield has been removed, leaving the belts and pulleys exposed.
Notice
NOTICE
This generator set has been rewired from its nameplate voltage to
246242
NOTICE
Voltage reconnection. Affix a notice to the generator set after reconnecting the set to a voltage different from the voltage on the nameplate. Order voltage reconnection decal 246242 from an authorized service distributor/dealer.
NOTICE
Hardware damage. The engine and generator set may use both American Standard and metric hardware. Use the correct size tools to prevent rounding of the bolt heads and nuts.
NOTICE
When replacing hardware, do not substitute with inferior grade hardware. Screws and nuts are available in different hardness ratings. To indicate hardness, American Standard hardware uses a series of markings, and metric hardware uses a numeric system. Check the markings on the bolt heads and nuts for identification.
NOTICE
Electrostatic discharge damage.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damages electronic circuit boards. Prevent electrostatic discharge damage by wearing an approved grounding wrist strap when handling electronic circuit boards or integrated circuits. An approved grounding wrist strap provides a high resistance (about 1 megohm), not a direct short, to ground.
NOTICE
Fuse replacement. Replace fuses with fuses of the same ampere rating and type (for example: 3AB or 314, ceramic). Do not substitute clear
NOTICE
Saltwater damage. Saltwater quickly deteriorates metals. Wipe up saltwater on and around the generator set and remove salt deposits from metal surfaces.
