Bryant ASPAS1BBL025 WARNING:, WARNING:

2 Bryant
Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before installing, operat-
ing or servicing this equipment. Become familiar with this
Owner’s Manual and with the unit. The generator can operate
safely, efficiently and reliably only if it is properly installed, oper-
ated and maintained. Many accidents are caused by failing to fol-
low simple and fundamental rules or precautions.
Bryant cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that
might involve a hazard. The warnings in this manual, and on
tags and decals affixed to the unit are, therefore, not all-inclu-
sive. If using a procedure, work method or operating technique
that Bryant does not specifically recommend, ensure that it is
safe for others. Also make sure the procedure, work method or
operating technique utilized does not render the generator
unsafe.
Despite the safe design of this generator, operating
this equipment imprudently, neglecting its mainte-
nance or being careless can cause possible injury or
death. Permit only responsible and capable persons
to install, operate or maintain this equipment.
Potentially lethal voltages are generated by these
machines. Ensure all steps are taken to render the
machine safe before attempting to work on the
generator.
Parts of the generator are rotating and/or hot
during operation. Exercise care near running gen-
erators.
GENERAL HAZARDS
• For safety reasons, Bryant recommends that this equip-
ment be installed, serviced and repaired by a Bryant Dealer
or other competent, qualified electrician or installation
technician who is familiar with applicable codes, standards
and regulations. The operator also must comply with all
such codes, standards and regulations.
• Installation, operation, servicing and repair of this (and
related) equipment must always comply with applicable
codes, standards, laws and regulations. Adhere strictly to
local, state and national electrical and building codes.
Comply with regulations the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) has established. Also, ensure that
the generator is installed, operated and serviced in accor-
dance with the manufacturer’s instructions and recommen-
dations. Following installation, do nothing that might render
the unit unsafe or in noncompliance with the aforemen-
tioned codes, standards, laws and regulations.
• The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide gas,
which can be DEADLY. This dangerous gas, if breathed in
sufficient concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or
even death. For that reason, adequate ventilation must be
provided. Exhaust gases must be piped safely away from
any building or enclosure that houses the generator to an
area where people, animals, etc., will not be harmed. This
exhaust system must be installed properly, in strict com-
pliance with applicable codes and standards.
• Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive belts, fans,
and other moving or hot parts. Never remove any drive belt
or fan guard while the unit is operating.
• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ventilating air is
critical to prevent buildup of explosive gases and to ensure
correct generator operation. Do not alter the installation or
permit even partial blockage of ventilation provisions, as
this can seriously affect safe operation of the generator.
• Keep the area around the generator clean and uncluttered.
Remove any materials that could become hazardous.
• When working on this equipment, remain alert at all times.
Never work on the equipment when physically or mentally
fatigued.
• Inspect the generator regularly, and promptly repair or
replace all worn, damaged or defective parts using only fac-
tory-approved parts.
• Before performing any maintenance on the generator, dis-
connect its battery cables to prevent accidental start-up.
Disconnect the cable from the battery post indicated by a
NEGATIVE, NEG or (–) first. Reconnect that cable last.
• Never use the generator or any of its parts as a step.
Stepping on the unit can stress and break parts, and may
result in dangerous operating conditions from leaking
exhaust gases, fuel leakage, oil leakage, etc.
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
• All generators covered by this manual produce dangerous
electrical voltages and can cause fatal electrical shock.
Utility power delivers extremely high and dangerous volt-
ages to the transfer switch as well as the standby generator.
Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals, connections, etc.,
on the generator as well as the transfer switch, if applicable.
Ensure all appropriate covers, guards and barriers are in
