7. NOISE
Generating sets that are not equipped with sound attenuating enclosures can produce
noise levels in excess of 105 dBA. Prolonged exposure to noise levels above 85 dBA is
hazardous to hearing.
• Ear protection must be worn when operating or working around an operating
set.
8. ELECTRICAL
Safe and efficient operation of electrical equipment can be achieved only if the equip-
ment is correctly installed, operated and maintained.
• The generating set must be connected to the load only by trained and quali-
fied electricians who are authorized to do so, and in compliance with rele-
vant electric codes, standards and other regulations.
• Ensure the generating set, is effectively grounded/earthed in accordance
with all relevant regulations prior operation.
• The generating sets should be shutdown with the battery negative (-) termi-
nal disconnected prior to attempting to connect or disconnect load connec-
tions.
• Do not attempt to connect or disconnect load connections while standing in
water or on wet or soggy ground.
• Do not touch electrical energized parts of the generating set and/or inter-
connecting cables or conductors with any part of the body or with any non
insulated conductive object.
• Place the control panel cover as soon as connection or disconnection of the
load cables is complete. Do not operate the generating set without the
cover securely on place.
• Connect the generating set only to loads and/or electrical systems that are com-
patible with it’s electrical characteristics and that are within it’s rated capacity.
• Be sure all power is disconnected from the electrical equipment being serviced.
• Keep all electrical equipment clean and dry. Replace any wiring where the insulation is cracked, cut, abraded or oth-
erwise degraded. Replace terminals that are worm, discolored or corrode. Keep terminals clean and tight.
• Insulate all connections and disconnected wires.
• Use only class BC or Class ABC extinguishers on electrical fires.
