Servicing the transfer switch controls and accessories within the enclosure. Hazardous voltage can cause severe injury or death. Disconnect the transfer switch controls at the inline connector to deenergize the circuit boards and logic circuitry but allow the transfer switch to continue to supply power to the load. Disconnect all power sources to accessories that are mounted within the enclosure but are not wired through the controls and deenergized by inline connector separation. Test circuits with a voltmeter to verify that they are deenergized before servicing.
Heavy Equipment
WARNING
Unbalanced weight.
Improper lifting can cause severe injury or death and equipment damage.
Do not use lifting eyes.
Lift the generator set using lifting bars inserted through the lifting holes on the skid.
WARNING
Unbalanced weight.
Improper lifting can cause severe injury or death and equipment damage.
Use adequate lifting capacity. Never leave the transfer switch standing upright unless it is securely bolted in place or stabilized.
Hot Parts
WARNING
Hot coolant and steam.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Before removing the pressure cap, stop the generator set and allow it to cool. Then loosen the pressure cap to relieve pressure.
WARNING
Hot engine and exhaust system. Can cause severe injury or death.
Do not work on the generator set until it cools.
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.
Checking the coolant level. Hot coolant can cause severe injury or death. Allow the engine to cool. Release pressure from the cooling system before removing the pressure cap. To release pressure, cover the pressure cap with a thick cloth and then slowly turn the cap counterclockwise to the first stop. Remove the cap after pressure has been completely released and the engine has cooled. Check the coolant level at the tank if the generator set has a coolant recovery tank.
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.
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.
