SAFETY MESSAGE ALERT SYMBOLS
Safety precautions should be followed at all times when installing
or operating this equipment. Failure to read and understand the
Safety Messages and Installation Instructions could result in
injury to yourself and others.
FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS!
This genset Installation Manual has
been developed to provide
complete instructions for the safe
implementation of MQ Power
Gensets for field installation.
Depending on the power plant you
have selected, please refer to the
engine manufacturers instructions for data relative to its safe
operations.
Before installing any MQ Power Genset, ensure that all
authorized personnel have read and understands all
installation or operating instructions referenced in this
manual.
SAFETY MESSAGE ALERT SYMBOLS
The three (3) Safety Messages shown below will inform you
about potential hazards that could injure you or others. The
Safety Messages specifically address the level of exposure to
the operator, and are preceded by one of three words: DANGER,
WARNING, or CAUTION.
Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous
carbon monoxide. This gas is colorless and
odorless, and can cause death if inhaled.
NEVER operate this equipment in a
confined area or enclosed structure that
does not provide ample free flow air.
Natural gas and liquid petroelum gas (LPG)
can be also extremly dangerous if inhaled. They are odorless
but a smell has been added to detect any leaks. IMMEDIATELY
shut off the gas source if a leak is detected. If in an enclosed
area, vacate the premises until the area is ventilated.
Diesel fuel is extremely flammable, and its vapors
can cause an explosion if ignited.
DO NOT start the engine near spilled fuel or
combustible fluids. DO NOT fill the fuel tank
while the engine is running or hot. DO NOT
overfill tank, since spilled fuel could ignite if it
comes into contact with hot engine parts or
sparks from the ignition system. Store fuel in
approved containers, in well-ventilated areas and away from
sparks and flames. NEVER use fuel as a cleaning agent.
Explosive Fuel
Burn Hazards
Engine components can generate extreme heat.
To prevent burns, DO NOT touch these areas
while the engine is running or immediately after
operation. NEVER operate the engine with heat
shields or heat guards removed.
Rotating Parts
NEVER operate equipment with covers or
guards removed. Keep fingers, hands, hair
and clothing away from all moving parts to
prevent injury.
NOTE
Potential hazards associated with MQ Power Gensets field
installation will be referenced with Hazard Symbols which appear
throughout this manual, and will be referenced in conjunction
with Safety Message Alert Symbols.
Lethal Exhaust Gases
Natural gas and LPG are extremely flammable and will explode
and catch fire if exposed to sparks or flame. NEVER smoke in
any area where gases are stored or supplied. IMMEDIATELY
shut off the gas source if a leak is detected. Be certain that the
area is well ventilated before exposing it to any mechanical or
electrical device that may emit heat or sparks.
