1.7 Fuel and Fumes Are Flammable
Fire, explosion, and personal injury or death can result from improper practices.
• Do not fill fuel tanks while the engine is running unless the tanks are outside
the engine compartment. Fuel contact with hot engine or exhaust is a potential
fire hazard.
• Do not permit any flame, cigarette, pilot light, spark, arcing equipment, or other
ignition source near the generator set or fuel tank.
• Fuel lines must be adequately secured and free of leaks. Fuel connection at the
engine should be made with an approved flexible line. Do not use copper piping
on flexible lines as copper will become brittle if continuously vibrated or
repeatedly bent.
• Make sure all fuel supplies have a positive shutoff valve.
• Make sure the battery area has been well-ventilated prior to servicing near it.
Lead-acid batteries emit a highly explosive hydrogen gas that can be ignited by
arcing, sparking, smoking, etc.
Do Not Operate in Flammable and Explosive Environments
Flammable vapor can cause an engine to over speed and become difficult to stop,
resulting in possible fire, explosion, severe personal injury, and death. Do not
operate a generator set where a flammable vapor environment can be created,
unless the generator set is equipped with an automatic safety device to block the air
intake and stop the engine. The owners and operators of the generator set are
solely responsible for operating the generator set safely. Contact your authorized
Cummins Power Generation distributor for more information.
Spillage
Any spillage that occurs during fueling or during oil top-off or oil change must be
cleaned up before starting the generator set.
1.8 Exhaust Gases Are Deadly
• Provide an adequate exhaust system to properly expel discharged gases away
from enclosed or sheltered areas, and areas where individuals are likely to
congregate. Visually and audibly inspect the exhaust system daily for leaks per
the maintenance schedule. Make sure that exhaust manifolds are secured and
not warped. Do not use exhaust gases to heat a compartment.
• Make sure the unit is well ventilated.
