IV Safety Precautions and Instructions

TP-6335 9/04

Welding the generator set. Can

cause severe electrical equipment

damage. Before welding the generator

set perform the following steps:

(1) Remove the battery cables,

negative (--) lead first. (2) Disconnect

all engine electronic control module

(ECM) connectors. (3) Disconnect all

generator set controller and voltage

regulator circuit board connectors.

(4) Disconnect the engine battery-

charging alternator connections.

(5) Attach the weld ground connection

close to the weld location.

Short circuits. Hazardous

voltage/current can cause severe

injury or death. Short circuits can

cause bodily injury and/or equipment

damage. Do not contact electrical

connections with tools or jewelry while

making adjustments or repairs.

Remove all jewelry before servicing the

equipment.

Engine block heater. Hazardous

voltage can cause severe injury or

death. The engine block heater can

cause electrical shock. Remove the

engine block heater plug from the

electrical outlet before working on the

block heater electrical connections.

Electrical backfeed to the utility.

Hazardous backfeed voltage can

cause severe injury or death.

Connect the generator set to the

building/campground electrical system

only through an approved device and

after the building/campground main

switch is opened. Backfeed

connections can cause severe injury or

death to utility personnel working on

power lines and/or personnel near the

work area. Some states and localities

prohibit unauthorized connection to the

utility electrical system. Install a

transfer switch to prevent

interconnection of the generator set

power and other sources of power.

Testing live electrical circuits.

Hazardous voltage or current can

cause severe injury or death. Have

trained and qualified personnel take

diagnostic measurements of live

circuits. Use adequately rated test

equipment with electrically insulated

probes and follow the instructions of the

test equipment manufacturer when

performing voltage tests. Observe the

following precautions when performing

voltage tests: (1) Remove all jewelry.

(2) Stand on a dry, approved electrically

insulated mat. (3) Do not touch the

enclosure or components inside the

enclosure. (4) Be prepared for the

system to operate automatically.

(600 volts and under)

Hot Parts

Hot coolant and steam.

Can cause severe injury or death.

Before removing the pressure cap,

stop the generator set and allow it to

cool. Then loosen the pressure cap

to relieve pressure.

WARNING

Hot engine and exhaust system.

Can cause severe injury or death.

Do not work on the generator set until

it cools.

WARNING

Checking the coolant level. Hot

coolant can cause severe injury or

death. Allow the engine to cool.

Release pressure from the cooling

system before removing the pressure

cap. To release pressure, cover the

pressure cap with a thick cloth and then

slowly turn the cap counterclockwise to

the first stop. Remove the cap after

pressure has been completely

released and the engine has cooled.

Check the coolant level at the tank if the

generator set has a coolant recovery

tank.

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.

Combustible materials. Fire can

cause severe injury or death. A hot

exhaust system can ignite adjacent

combustible materials. Do not locate

electrical wiring, fuel lines, or

combustible materials above the

exhaust muffler. E xercise caution

when parking your vehicle to prevent

the exhaust system and hot exhaust

gases from starting grass fires.

Combustible materials. Fire can

cause severe injury or death. A hot

generator set can ignite debris in the

compartment. Keep the compartment

and generator set clean and free of

debris and combustible materials to

minimize the possibility of fire. Do not

block the fuel/oil drain opening in the

generator set mounting tray. Cut a

corresponding hole in the subfloor, if

used, for the drain opening.

Moving Parts

Hazardous voltage.

Can cause severe injury or death.

Operate the generator set only when

all guards and electrical enclosures

areinplace.

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.
