CAUTION
Hazardous voltage.
Electrical shock can cause injury.
Do not touch wires while the engine is running. Stop the engine and disconnect the battery
leads, negative (-) lead first, before servicing the engine.
Servicing the engine when it is operating. Exposed moving parts will cause severe injury or death. Keep hands, feet,
hair, clothing, and test leads away from the belts and pulleys when the engine is running. Replace guards, screens, and covers
before operating the engine.
WARNING
Moving parts.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Operate the engine only when all guards and electrical enclosures are in place. Stay away
from moving parts while the engine is in operation.
WARNING
Explosive fuel vapors.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Use extreme care when handling, storing, and using fuels.
The fuel system. Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or death. Vaporized fuels are highly explosive. Use extreme
care when handling and storing fuels. Store fuels in a well-ventilated area away from spark-producing equipment and out of the
reach of children. Never add fuel to the tank while the engine is running because spilled fuel may ignite on contact with hot parts
or from sparks. Do not smoke or permit flames or sparks to occur near sources of spilled fuel or fuel vapors. Keep the fuel lines
and connections tight and in good condition. Do not replace flexible fuel lines with rigid lines. Use flexible sections to avoid fuel
line breakage caused by vibration. Do not operate the engine in the presence of fuel leaks, fuel accumulation, or sparks. Repair
fuel systems before resuming engine operation.
Gas fuel leaks. Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or death. Fuel leakage can cause an explosion. Check the
LPG vapor or natural gas fuel system for leakage by using a soap and water solution with the fuel system test pressurized to 6–
8 ounces per square inch (10–14 inches water column). Do not use a soap solution containing either ammonia or chlorine
because both prevent bubble formation. A successful test depends on the ability of the solution to bubble.
LPG liquid withdrawal fuel leaks. Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or death. Fuel leakage can cause an
explosion. Check the LPG liquid withdrawal fuel system for leakage by using a soap and water solution with the fuel system test
pressurized to at least 90 psi (621 kPa). Do not use a soap solution containing either ammonia or chlorine because both prevent
bubble formation. A successful test depends on the ability of the solution to bubble.
