Baldor 3KW-9KW Portable Generator User Manual


 
Place protective covers and guards over the rotating parts, if rotating parts such as the drive shaft, pulley,
belt, etc. are left exposed, they are potentially hazardous.
When cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make sure all moving parts have stopped.
Prior to working on the generator set, disconnect the spark plug and battery to prevent accidental starting.
Use only original equipment or authorized replacement parts. Use of correct parts will assure the operator
of the safety integrity that was designed into the unit.
Unauthorized modifications to the generator set may impair the function and/or safety of the unit.
Do not operate the generator set without a muffler. Inspect periodically and replace if necessary.
Do not touch the hot exhaust components or the high voltage spark plug and coil terminals. While Spark
Plug Voltages are not normally lethal, an involuntary jerk of the hand caused by a hot surface or by
an electrical shock can result in injury.
Repair of electrical generating equipment requires specialized skills. Repair personnel must have a
thorough understanding of generator and small engine repair procedures.
Never inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide; a colorless, odorless and extremely
dangerous gas that can cause unconsciousness or death. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning
can include: dizziness, nausea, headaches, sleepiness, vomiting or incoherency. If you or anyone else
experiences any of these symptoms, get out into the fresh air immediately. Shut the unit down and
do not operate it until it has been inspected and, if necessary, repaired.
Never Operate the generator set indoors or in a poorly ventilated area such as a tunnel or cave.
