TP-6516 4/09 7Safety Precautions and Instructions

Hazardous Noise

Hazardous noise.

Can cause hearing loss.

Never operate the generator set

without a muffler or with a faulty

exhaust system.

CAUTION

Engine noise. Hazardous noise can

cause hearing loss. Generator sets

not equipped with sound enclosures

can produce noise levels greater than

105 dBA. Prolonged exposure to noise

levels greater than 85 dBA can cause

permanent hearing loss. Wear hearing

protection when near an operating

generator set.

Hazardous Voltage/

Moving Parts

Hazardous voltage.

Can cause severe injury or death.

Operate the generator set only when

all guards and electrical enclosures

areinplace.

Moving parts.

WARNING

Hazardous voltage.

Backfeed to the utility system can

cause property damage, severe

injury, or death.

If the generator set is used for

standby power, install an automatic

transfer switch to prevent inadvertent

interconnection of standby and

normal sources of supply.

WARNING

Welding the generator set.

Can cause severe electrical

equipment damage.

Never weld components of the

generator set without first

disconnecting the battery, controller

wiring harness, and engine electronic

control module (ECM).

CAUTION

Grounding electrical equipment.

Hazardous voltage can cause

severe injury or death. Electrocution

is possible whenever electricity is

present. Ensure you comply with all

applicable codes and standards.

Electrically ground the generator set,

transfer switch, and related equipment

and electrical circuits. Turn off the main

circuit breakers of all power sources

before servicing the equipment. Never

contact electrical leads or appliances

when standing in water or on wet

ground because these conditions

increase the risk of electrocution.

Welding on the generator set. Can

cause severe electrical equipment

damage. Before welding on 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.

Connecting the battery and the

battery charger. Hazardous voltage

can cause severe injury or d eath.

Reconnect the battery correctly,

positive to positive and negative to

negative, to avoid electrical shock and

damage to the battery charger and

battery(ies). Have a qualified

electrician install the battery(ies).

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.

Electrical backfeed to the utility.

Hazardous backfeed voltage can

cause severe injury or death. Install

a transfer switch in standby power

installations to prevent the connection

of standby and other sources of power.

Electrical backfeed into a utility

electrical system can cause severe

injury or death to utility personnel

working on power lines.

Airborne particles.

Can cause severe injury or

blindness.

Wear protective goggles and clothing

when using power tools, hand tools,

or compressed air.

WARNING

Heavy Equipment

Unbalanced weight.

Improper lifting can cause severe

injury or death and equipment

damage.

Do not use lifting eyes.

Lift the generator set using lifting bars

inserted through the lifting holes on

the skid.
