ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARDS
!
WARNING
Use extreme caution when near
the generator while it is operating.
The generator produces dangerous
voltage.
• Avoid contact with bare wires,
terminals and connections while
the generator is operating.
• ALWAYS stand on an insulated dry
surface to reduce shock hazard
if work must be done on an
operating generator.
• NEVER wear jewelry that can
conduct electricity when working
on the generator.
• NEVER handle any kind of
electrical device while hands or
feet are wet, while standing in
water or while barefoot.
• Proper earth grounding of the
frame and external electrical
conductive components is
required by the National Electrical
Code (NEC). State and local codes
for proper grounding may also
apply.
• Avoid direct contact with an
electric shock victim. Immediately
shut down the source of electrical
power. If this is not possible,
attempt to free the victim from
the live conductor using a
nonconducting item such as a
dry board or rope. If the victim is
unconscious, apply first aid and
call 911 immediately.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARDS
!
WARNING
NG and LPG are extremely explosive.
• NEVER allow any flames or smoke
near the fuel system.
• Wipe up any oil spills immediately.
• NEVER allow any combustible
materials to be near the generator
or to be left in the generator
compartment.
• ALWAYS keep the surrounding
area near the generator clean and
free of debris.
• Be sure to properly purge the fuel
lines and leak-test according to
applicable codes before placing
the generator in service.
• Be sure to regularly inspect the
fuel system for leaks. NEVER
operate the generator if a fuel leak
is present.
• Install a fire extinguisher near
the generator. Keep it properly
charged and be familiar with
its use. An ABC rated National
Fire Protection extinguisher is
appropriate for use on standby
electric systems. Contact your
local fire department with any
questions concerning the fire
extinguisher.
