General Precautions (cont’d)
Electrical Safety (cont’d)
Before servicing equipment powered by the generator, disconnect the
equipment from its power input.
Keep all electrical equipment clean and dry. Replace any wiring where
the insulation is cracked, cut abraded or otherwise degraded. Replace
terminals that are worn, discolored, or corroded. Keep terminals clean
and tight.
Insulate all connections and disconnected wires.
Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.
Personal Safety
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common
sense when operating a generator. Do not use generator
while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating
generators may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the power switch is in its “OFF”
position, and disconnect the spark plug wire when not in use.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the generator on. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the generator
may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Wear ANSI
approved safety impact eye goggles. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Do not force the generator. Use the correct generator for your
application. The correct generator will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it is designed.
Do not use the generator if the power switch does not turn it on or off.
Any generator that cannot be controlled with the power switch is
dangerous and must be replaced.
