haust carbon monoxide (CO), electric shock, and-
moving parts hazards are possible due to unex−
pected starting. Turn off AGS whenever performing-
maintenance or service, when the vehicle is stored-
between uses, is awaiting service, or is parked in
agarage or other confined area.
Electricity, fuel, exhaust, moving parts and batteries
present hazards which can result in severe personal
injury or death.
ENGINE EXHAUST IS DEADLY
• Inspect for exhaust leaks at every startup and
after every eight hours of running.
• Learn the symptoms of carbon monoxide poi-
soning in the Operator’s Manual.
• Never sleep in the vehicle while the genset is
running unless the vehicle is equipped with a
working carbon monoxide detector.
• Do not operate the genset when the vehicle is
in a confined space, such as a garage.
• Disable the automatic genset starting feature of
an inverter-charger or other automatic starting
device before storing the vehicle or parking it in
a garage or other confined space.
• The exhaust system must be installed in accor-
dance with the genset Installation Manual.
• Engine cooling air must not be used for heating
working or living spaces or compartments.
GENERATOR VOLTAGE IS DEADLY
• Disable the automatic genset starting fea-
ture(AGS) of an inverter−charger or other auto-
matic starting device before servicing the gen-
set to avoid electric shock from an unexpected
start.
• Generator electrical output connections must
be made by a trained and experienced electri-
cian in accordance with applicable codes.
• The genset must not be connected to the public
utility or any other source of electrical power.
Back-feed could lead to electrocution of utility
personnel and damage to equipment. An ap-
proved switching device must be used to pre-
vent interconnections.
• Use caution when working on live electrical
equipment. Remove jewelry, make sure cloth-
ing and shoes are dry, stand on a dry wooden
platform or rubber insulating mat and use tools
with insulated handles.
DIESEL FUEL IS COMBUSTIBLE
• Do not smoke or turn electrical switches ON or
OFF where fuel fumes are present or in areas
sharing ventilation with fuel tanks or equip-
ment. Keep flames, sparks, pilot lights, arc-pro-
ducing equipment and all other sources of igni-
tion well away.
• Fuel lines must be secured, free of leaks and
separated or shielded from electrical wiring.
