ACCIDENTAL STARTING

WARNING

Accidental starting.

Can cause severe injury or death.

Disconnect battery cables before working on generator set (negative lead first and reconnect it last).

Accidental starting can cause severe injury or

death. Disconnect battery cables (remove negative lead first and reconnect it last) to disable generator set before working on any equipment connected to generator. The generator set can be started by remote start/stop switch unless this precaution is followed.

MOVING PARTS

WARNING

Rotating parts.

Can cause severe injury or death.

Do not operate generator set without all guards, screens, or covers in place.

Flying projectiles can cause severe injury or death.

Retorque all crankshaft and rotor hardware after servicing. When making adjustments or servicing generator set, do not loosen crankshaft hardware or rotor thru-bolt. If rotating crankshaft manually, direction should be clockwise only. Turning crankshaft bolt or rotor thru-bolt counterclockwise can loosen hardware and result in serious personal injury from hardware or pulley flying off engine while unit is running.

Exposed moving parts can cause severe injury or

death. Additional Precautions Regarding Sound Shield Equipped Models:

Some scheduled maintenance procedures require the generator set to be running while performing service. If the sound shield has been removed leaving belts and pulleys exposed, be especially careful of this area.

Exposed moving parts can cause severe injury or

death. Keep hands, feet, hair, clothing, and test leads away from belts and pulleys when unit is running. Replace guards, covers, and screens before operating generator set.

HOT PARTS

WARNING

Hot engine and exhaust system.

Can cause severe injury or death.

Do not work on generator set until unit is allowed to cool.

Hot parts can cause severe injury or death. Do not touch hot engine parts. An engine gets hot while running and exhaust system components get extremely hot.

WARNING

Hot coolant and steam.

Can cause severe injury or death.

Before removing pressure cap stop generator, allow to cool and loosen pressure cap to relieve pressure.

Hot coolant can cause severe injury or death. Allow engine to cool and release pressure from cooling system before opening pressure cap. To release pressure, cover the pressure cap with a thick cloth then turn it slowly counterclockwise to the first stop. After pressure has been completely released and the engine has cooled, remove cap. If generator set is equipped with a coolant recovery tank, check coolant level at tank.
