Safety--iiT -343
SPECIFIC WARNING AND CAUTION STATEMENTS
The statements that follow are applicable to the generator set and appear elsewhere in this manual. T hese recom-
mended precautions must be understood and applied during operation and maintenance of the equipment covered
herein.
WARNING
Beware of moving poly V-belt, belt driven
components and hot exhaust components.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should ether or
any other unauthorized starting aids be
used inconjunctionwith theair intakeheat-
er.
WARNING
Beware of moving poly V-Belt and belt driv-
en components.
WARNING
Beware of pinch points.
WARNING
Do not use gasoline to clean air cleaner
parts.
WARNING
Do not direct water or steam into the gener-
ator openings. Do not allow any soap and
water solutions to enter the alternator.
WARNING
High voltage(dielectric) testing must not be
performed to the machine without first ob -
serving NEMA rules. The insulation of this
generator winding may be safely checked
by using a megger. A high megger reading
indicates good insulation.
CAUTION
Observe properpolarity when installing the
battery or connecting a battery charger, the
negative battery terminal must be
grounded. Reverse polarity may damage
the charging system. When charging the
batteryinunit, isolatethebatterybydiscon-
necting the negative battery terminal first,
then t hepositive. Once t hebattery has been
charged,connect thepositivebatterytermi-
nal first, then the negative.
CAUTION
Never pour cold water into a hot engine.
CAUTION
Use only ethylene glycol, anti-freeze (with
inhibitors) in system. Use of glycol by itself
will damage the cooling system.
CAUTION
Never open the radiator cap when the cool-
ant is hot.
CAUTION
Alwayscovertheengineinlettube whilethe
air cleaner is being serviced.
CAUTION
Do not underfill oroverfill theoil bath cups.
Overfilling of cups causes loss of capacity;
underfilling cups causes lack of filteringef-
ficiency.
CAUTION
When trying to restore residual magnetism,
be sureto wearsafety glassesand non-con-
ductive gloves. Use an insulated 12 gauge
(or higher) jumper wire. Cut off all but a few
strands from both ends of the jumper wire
to help prevent fusing.
CAUTION
The rotor should not be pulled out from the
alternator more than 0.75 inches. Damage
to the bearing and windings may result.
CAUTION
Continued operation with failed
shockmounts may result in engine or gen-
erator damage.
