Carrier 69UG15 manual Specific Warning and Caution Statements

SPECIFIC WARNING AND CAUTION STATEMENTS

The statements that follow are applicable to the generator set and appear elsewhere in this manual. These recom- mended precautions must be understood and applied during operation and maintenance of the equipment covered herein.

WARNING

Beware of moving poly V-belt, belt driven components and hot exhaust components.

CAUTION

Never pour cold water into a hot engine.

WARNING

Under no circumstances should ether or any other unauthorized starting aids be used in conjunction with the air intake heat- er.

WARNING

Beware of moving poly V-Belt and belt driv- en components.

CAUTION

Use only ethylene glycol, anti-freeze (with inhibitors) in system. Use of glycol by itself will damage the cooling system.

CAUTION

Never open the radiator cap when the cool- ant is hot.

WARNING

Beware of pinch points.

WARNING

Do not use gasoline to clean air cleaner parts.

WARNING

Do not direct water or steam into the gener- ator openings. Do not allow any soap and water solutions to enter the alternator.

WARNING

High voltage (dielectric) testing must not be performed to the machine without first ob- serving NEMA rules. The insulation of this generator winding may be safely checked by using a megger. A high megger reading indicates good insulation.

CAUTION

Observe proper polarity when installing the battery or connecting a battery charger, the negative battery terminal must be grounded. Reverse polarity may damage the charging system. When charging the battery in unit, isolate the battery by discon- necting the negative battery terminal first, then the positive. Once the battery has been charged, connect the positive battery termi- nal first, then the negative.

CAUTION

Always cover the engine inlet tube while the air cleaner is being serviced.

CAUTION

Do not underfill or overfill the oil bath cups. Overfilling of cups causes loss of capacity; underfilling cups causes lack of filtering ef- ficiency.

CAUTION

When trying to restore residual magnetism, be sure to wear safety glasses and non-con- ductive gloves. Use an insulated 12 gauge (or higher) jumper wire. Cut off all but a few strands from both ends of the jumper wire to help prevent fusing.

CAUTION

The rotor should not be pulled out from the alternator more than 0.75 inches. Damage to the bearing and windings may result.

CAUTION

Continued operation with failed shockmounts may result in engine or gen- erator damage.
