DCA-150SSVU — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
■ Backfeed to a utility system can cause
electrocution and or
property damage. DO NOT connect to any building's electrical
system except through an approved device or after building
main switch is opened. ALWAYS have a licensed electrician
perform the installation
CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION:
DO NOT touch or open any of the below
mentioned components while the
generator is running. Always allow
sufficient time for the engine and generator
to cool before performing maintenance.
Radiator
1. Radiator Cap - Removing the radiator cap while the engine
is hot will result in high pressurized, boiling water to gush
out of the radiator, causing severe scalding to any persons
in the general area of the generator.
2. Coolant Drain Plug - Removing the coolant drain plug
while the engine is hot will result in hot coolant to gush out
of the coolant drain plug, therefore causing severe scalding
to any persons in the general area of the generator.
3. Engine Oil Drain Plug - Removing the engine oil drain
plug while the engine is hot will result in hot oil to gush out
of the oil drain plug, therefore causing severe scalding to
any persons in the general area of the generator.
