TP-6069 6/03 VSafety Precautions and Instructions
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.
Moving Parts
Hazardous voltage.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Operate the generator setonly when
all guards and electrical enclosures
areinplace.
Movingrotor.
WARNING
Rotating parts.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Operate the generator setonly when
allguards,screens, andcoversarein
place.
WARNING
Airborne particles.
Can cause severe injury or
blindness.
Wearprotectivegogglesandclothing
when using power tools, hand tools,
or compressed air.
WARNING
Tightening the hardware. Flying
projectiles can cause severe injury
or death. Loose hardwarecan cause
the hardware or pulley to release from
thegeneratorsetengineandcancause
personal injury. Retorque all
crankshaft and rotor hardware after
servicing. Donotloosenthecrankshaft

adjustments orservicing the generator
set. Rotate the crankshaftmanually in
a clockwise directiononly. Turning the
crankshaft bolt or rotor thrubolt
counterclockwise can loosen the
hardware.
Servicing the generator set when it
is operating. Exposedmoving 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. Replaceguards,screens,and
covers before operating the generator
set.
Sound shield removal. Exposed
moving parts can cause severe
injury or death. The generator set
must be operating in order to perform
some scheduled maintenance
procedures. Beespeciallycarefulif the
sound shield has been removed,
leaving the belts and pulleys exposed.

Notice
NOTICE
This generator set has been
rewiredfromitsnameplatevoltage
to
246242
NOTICE
Voltage reconnection. Affix a notice
to the generator set after reconnecting
the set to a voltage different from the
voltage on the nameplate. Order
voltage reconnection decal 246242
from an authorized service
distributor/dealer.
NOTICE
Hardware damage. The engine and
generator set may use both American
Standard and metric hardware. Use
the correct size tools to prevent
rounding of the bolt heads and nuts.
NOTICE
When replacing hardware, do not
substitute with inferior grade
hardware. Screws and nuts are
available in different hardness ratings.
To indicate hardness, American
Standard hardware uses a series of
markings, and metric hardware uses a
numeric system. Check the markings
on the bolt heads and nuts for
identification.
NOTICE
Electrostatic discharge damage.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
damages electronic circuit boards.
Prevent electrostatic discharge
damage by wearing an approved
grounding wrist strap when handling
electronic circuit boards or integrated
circuits. An approved grounding wrist
strapprovides a high resistance (about
1 megohm), not a direct short,to
ground.
NOTICE
Fuse replacement. Replace fuses
with fuses of the same ampere rating
and type (for example: 3AB or 314,
ceramic). Do not substitute clear
glass-type fuses for ceramic fuses.
Refer to the wiring diagram when the
ampere rating is unknown or
questionable.
NOTICE
Saltwater damage. Saltwater quickly
deterioratesmetals. Wipe upsaltwater
on and around the generator set and
remove salt deposits from metal
surfaces.
