TP-5700 7/93 IIISafety Precautions and Instructions

The fuel system. Explosive fuel

vapors can cause severe injury or

death. Vaporized fuels are highly

explosive. Use extreme care when

handling and storing fuels. Store fuels

inawell-ventilatedareaawayfrom

spark-producing equipment and out of

the reach of children. Never add fuel to

the tank while the engine is running

because spilled fuel may ignite on

contact with hot parts or from sparks.

Do not smoke or permit flames or

sparks to occur near sources of spilled

fuel or fuel vapors. Keep the fuel lines

and connections tight and in good

condition. Do not replace flexible fuel

lines with rigid lines. Use flexible

sections to avoid fuel line breakage

caused by vibration. Do not operate the

generator set in the presence of fuel

leaks, fuel accumulation, or sparks.

Repair fuel systems before resuming

generator set operation.

Explosive fuel vapors can cause

severe injury or death. Tak e

additional precautions when using the

following fuels:

Gasoline—Store gasoline only in

approved red containers clearly

marked GASOLINE.

Propane (LP)—Adequate ventilation

is mandatory. Because propane is

heavier than air, install propane gas

detectors low in a room. Inspect the

detectors per the manufacturer’s

instructions.

Natural Gas—Adequate ventilation is

mandatory. Because natural gas rises,

install natural gas detectors high in a

room. Inspect the detectors per the

manufacturer’s instructions.

Fuel tanks. Explosive fuel vapors

can cause severe injury or death.

Gasoline and other volatile fuels stored

in day tanks or subbase fuel tanks can

cause an explosion. Store only diesel

fuel in tanks.

Gas fuel leaks. Explosive fuel

vapors can cause severe injury or

death. Fuel leakage can cause an

explosion. Check the LP vapor gas or

natural gas fuel system for leakage by

using a soap and water solution with

the fuel system test pressurized to

6--8 ounces per square inch

(10--14 inches water column). Do not

use a soap solution containing either

ammonia or chlorine because both

prevent bubble formation. A successful

test depends on the ability of the

solution to bubble.
