TP-5695 12/93 Safety Precautions and Instructions v
ACCIDENTAL STARTING
WARNING
Accidental starting.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Disconnect battery cables before working on
generator set (negative lead first and reconnect it
last).
Accidental starting can cause severe injury or
death. Disconnect battery cables (remove negative
lead first and reconnect it last) to disable generator set
before working on any equipment connected to
generator. The generator set can be started by remote
start/stop switch unless this precaution is followed.
MOVING PARTS
WARNING
Rotating parts.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Do not operate generator set without all guards,
screens, or covers in place.
Flying projectiles can cause severe injury or death.
Retorque all crankshaft and rotor hardware after
servicing. When making adjustments or servicing
generator set, do not loosen crankshaft hardware or
rotor thru-bolt. If rotating crankshaft manually, direction
should be clockwise only. Turning crankshaft bolt or
rotor thru-bolt counterclockwise can loosen hardware
and result in serious personal injury from hardware or
pulley flying off engine while unit is running.
Exposed moving parts can cause severe injury or
death. Additional Precautions Regarding Sound Shield
Equipped Models:
Some scheduled maintenance procedures require the
generator set to be running while performing service. If
the sound shield has been removed leaving belts and
pulleys exposed, be especially careful of this area.
Exposed moving parts can cause severe injury or
death. Keep hands, feet, hair, clothing, and test leads
away from belts and pulleys when unit is running.
Replace guards, covers, and screens before operating
generator set.
HOT PARTS
WARNING
Hot engine and exhaust system.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Do not work on generator set until unit is allowed to
cool.
Hot parts can cause severe injury or death. Do not
touch hot engine parts. An engine gets hot while running
and exhaust system components get extremely hot.
WARNING
Hot coolant and steam.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Before removing pressure cap stop generator,
allow to cool and loosen pressure cap to relieve
pressure.
Hot coolant can cause severe injury or death. Allow
engine to cool and release pressure from cooling
system before opening pressure cap. To release
pressure, cover the pressure cap with a thick cloth then
turn it slowly counterclockwise to the first stop. After
pressure has been completely released and the engine
has cooled, remove cap. If generator set is equipped
with a coolant recovery tank, check coolant level at tank.
