5. MECHANICAL
The generating set is designed with guards for protection from moving parts. Care must still be taken to protect personnel and equipment from other mechanical hazards when working around the generating set.
•Do not attempt to operate the generating set with safety guards removed. While the generating set is running do not attempt to reach under or around the guards to do maintenance or for any other reason.
•Keep hands, arms, long hair, loose clothing and jewellery away from pul- leys, belts and other moving parts.
Attention!! Some moving parts con not be seen clearly when the set is running.
•Keep access doors on enclosures, if equipped, closed and locked when not required to be open.
•Avoid contact with hot oil, hot coolant, hot exhaust gases, hot surfaces and sharp edges and corners.
•Wear protective clotting including gloves and hat when working around the generating set.
•Do not attempt to remove the radiator filler cap until the coolant has cooled. Then loosen the cap slowly to relive any excess pressure before removing the cap completely.
•Ethyl ether starting aids must not be used on engines with combustion air preheating devises. These starting aids will reduce the efficient working life of the engine.
6. CHEMICAL
Fuels, oils coolants, lubricants and battery electrolyte used in this generating set are typical of the industry. However they can be hazardous to personnel if not treated properly.
•Do not swallow or have skin contact with fuel, oil, coolant, lubricants and battery electrolyte. If swallowed, seek medical treatment immediately. Do not induce vomiting if fuel is swallowed. For skin contact, wash with soap and water.
•Do not wear clothe that has been contaminated by fuel or lube oil.
•Wear an acid resistant apron and face shield or goggles when servicing the battery. If electrolyte is spilled on skin or clotting, flush immediately with large quantities of water.
•Always keep good ventilation when the equipment is working. Carbon Monoxide inhalation cause death. Always maintain inspection routine of the exhaust system.
