NOTICE
Refer also to the engine-specific Operator Manual, if applicable. This manual
contains specific equipment instructions that may differ from the standard
generator set.
To immobilize the generator set:
1. Press the Off mode switch on the Operator Panel to shut down the engine.
2. Press the Emergency Stop button (if applicable). This will prevent the starting
of the generator set regardless of the Start signal source and will therefore
provide an additional safety step for immobilizing the generator set.
Alternatively, make sure the generator set is in manual mode (which allows it to
be started by manually pushing the buttons).
NOTICE
When the Emergency Stop button is pressed, the Operator Panel
indicates the Shutdown condition by illuminating the red Shutdown
status LED and displaying a message on the graphical LCD display.
3. As an additional precaution, thoroughly ventilate the generator set before
disconnecting any leads.
4. De-energize and lock off the electrical power source to the heater, where fitted.
5. De-energize and lock off the electrical power source to the battery charger,
where fitted.
6. Turn off the fuel supply to the engine.
7. Disconnect the battery. Disconnect the negative () cable first, using an
insulated wrench.
8. Place warning notices at each of the above locations that state, "Maintenance
in Progress Immobilized for Safe Working."
5.2 Periodic Maintenance
WARNING
Electrical Generating Equipment
Accidental or remote starting of the generator set can cause severe personal
injury or death.
Before working on the generator set, make sure that the generator set is in
Off mode, disable the battery charger, and remove the negative (–) battery
cable from the battery to prevent starting.
The table(s) that follow show the recommended service intervals for a generator set
on Standby service. If the generator set will be subjected to extreme operating
conditions, the service intervals should be reduced accordingly.
