Installation Statements
Continued
WARNING: Circuit overload protection must be provided in accordance with the National Electrical Code
and local regulations.
WARNING: Check Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) receptacles monthly by using the “Test” and
“Reset” buttons.
WARNING: Have electrical circuits and wiring installed and checked by licensed electrician or qualified
technician. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury.
WARNING: Never stand under or close to an object that is being hoisted or lift into position. Accidents
happen and if the object falls or tips over you or someone else could be crushed by the
weight of the object causing severe injury or death to to yourself or others. Always remain a
safe distance from the object and always wear protective head gear (hard hat).
Maintenance Statements
WARNING: Installation and servicing of batteries is to be performed or supervised by personnel
knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away
from batteries.
WARNING: Before servicing the generator set, be sure to disconnect the battery terminals to prevent
accidental engine rotation or starting.
WARNING: Before cleaning, inspecting, repairing or performing any maintenance to the generator set,
always be sure the engine has stopped and that all rotating parts have also stopped. After
stopping, certain components are still extremely hot so be careful not to get burned.
WARNING: Before servicing the generator set, be sure to disconnect the glow plugs or spark plug wires
and the battery terminals to prevent accidental engine rotation or starting.
WARNING: Engine coolant is under pressure and is near the boiling point of water when engine is hot.
Do not open the coolant system until the engine has completely cooled. Hot coolant can
cause severe burns and other injuries. When engine is cool, coolant level can be checked.
WARNING: Inspect all wiring frequently and replace any damaged, broken or frayed wiring or wires with
damaged insulation immediately. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury.
WARNING: Disconnect all electrical wires and load devices from generator power outlets before servicing
the generator. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Always treat electrical
circuits as if they are energized.
WARNING: A battery presents a risk of fire and explosion because they generate hydrogen gas.
Hydrogen gas is extremely explosive. Never jump start a battery, smoke in the area around
the battery or cause any spark to occur in the area around the battery.
WARNING: Do not mutilate the battery or dispose of a battery in a fire. The battery is capable of
exploding. If the battery explodes, electrolyte solution will be released in all directions.
Battery electrolyte solution is caustic and can cause severe burns and blindness. If
electrolyte contacts skin or eyes, immediately flush the area with water and seek medical
attention quickly.
WARNING: The battery electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric acid that is harmful to the skin and eyes. It is
electrically conductive and corrosive. If electrolyte contacts the skin, flush the area
immediately with water and wash it off using soap and water. If electrolyte contacts the eyes,
immediately flush the eye thoroughly with water and seek medical attention quickly.
WARNING: A battery presents a risk of electrical shock hazard and high short circuit current. Electrical
shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Never wear jewelry, watch or any metal objects when
in the area around the battery.
WARNING: Check fuel tank, fuel line, and connections monthly for fuel leaks. Diesel is flammable and
can cause fire, explosions, injury or death. If a leak is found, replace only with approved pipe
or components.
