Kohler Marine Generator Sets 11EFOZ/13EOZ - Manual (Page 9)

TP-6069 6/03 V Safety 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 set only when
all guards and electrical enclosures
are in place.
Moving rotor.
WARNING
Rotating parts.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Operate the generator set only when
all guards, screens, and covers are in
place.
WARNING
Airborne particles.
Can
cause severe injury or
blindness.
Wear protective goggles and clothing
when using power tools, hand tools,
or compressed air.
WARNING
Tightening the hardware. Flying
projectiles can cause severe injury
or death. Loose hardware can cause
the hardware or pulley to release from
the generator set engine and can cause
personal
injury. Retorque all
crankshaft and rotor hardware after
servicing. Do not loosen the crankshaft
hardware or rotor thrubolt when making
adjustments or servicing the generator
set. Rotate the crankshaft manually in
a clockwise direction only. Turning the
crankshaft
bolt or rotor thrubolt
counterclockwise can loosen the
hardware.
Servicing the generator set when it
is operating. Exposed moving 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. Replace guards, 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. Be especially careful if the
sound shield has been removed,
leaving the belts and pulleys exposed.
(Sound-shield-equipped models only)
Notice
NOTICE
This generator set has been
rewired from its nameplate voltage
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
strap provides 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
deteriorates metals. Wipe up saltwater
on and around the generator set and
remove
salt deposits from metal
surfaces.
