General Precautions

Check for damaged parts. Before using the generator, any part that appears damaged should be carefully

checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment and

binding of moving parts, any broken parts or mounting fixtures, and any other condition that may affect

proper operation technician.

The generator is designed with guards for protection from moving parts. In any case, care must still be taken

to protect personnel and equipment from other mechanical hazards when working around the generator.

Do not operate the generator with safety guards removed. While the generator is running, do not attempt to

reach around the safety guard for maintenance or any other reason.

Keep hands, arms, long hair, loose clothing, and jewelry away from moving parts. Be aware that when engine

parts are moving fast they cannot be seen clearly.

Keep access doors on enclosures closed and locked when access is not required.

When working on or around the generator always wear protective clothing including ANSI approved safety

gloves, safety eye goggles, and safety hat.

Do not alter or adjust any part of the generator that is assembled and supplied by the manufacturer.

Always follow and complete scheduled engine and generator maintenance.

Avoid body contact with fuels, oils, and lubricants used in the generator. If swallowed, seek medical

treatment immediately. Do not induce vomiting if fuel is swallowed. For skin contact, immediately wash with

soap and water. For eye contact, immediately flush eyes with clean water and seek medical attention.

protection when operating or working around the generator when it is running.
