SAFTEY PRECAUTIONS
A generator set can be potentially dangerous if not properly maintained and operated. The best Safe
Guard against a dangerous situation is education, good judgment and common sense. For safe trouble free
operation of your generator set some general precautions are listed below. Be sure to read, understand and
follow these precautions. Please call Power Technology Southeast, Inc. with any concerns you may have with
your generator set.
1) HOT PIPING: An engine and exhaust system may get extremely hot while running. Do not work on a
generator set until it has sufficiently cooled.
2) DANGEROUS FUELS: Use extreme caution when handling, storing and using fuels. All fuels are highly
explosive in a vaporous state. Store fuel in a well ventilated area away from spark producing
equipment. Keep fuels and all chemicals out of the reach of children. Never add fuel to the
tank while the engine is running. Spilled fuel may ignite on contact with hot parts or from
ignition spark. Always keep fuel lines and connections tight and in good condition. Don’t
replace flexible fuel lines with rigid lines. If you notice any fuel leakage, fuel accumulation
or electrical sparks, DO NOT OPERATE THE GENERATOR SET.
3) EXPLOSIVE BATTERY GASES: The gases generated by a battery being charged are highly explosive.
Do not smoke or permit any flames or sparks to occur near a battery at any time, especially
when it is being charged. Avoid contact between terminals with tools to prevent sparks and
possible burns. Always remove wristwatch, rings, or other jewelry before handling a battery.
Any compartment containing batteries should be well ventilated to prevent the accumulation
of explosive gases. To avoid sparks never disturb the battery charging connections while the
battery is being charged. Always turn off the battery charger before disconnecting terminal
clips.
4) ELECTROCUTION: Failure to install a generator set with an electrical system consistent with governing
regulations and standards is UNLAWFUL and may cause ELECTROCUTION of vehicle
occupants. Your generator set must not be used to “Back Feed” by connecting it to a building
or outdoor electrical circuit. Back feeding can cause serious injury or death to utility
personnel working to repair a power outage and may also seriously injure persons in your
vehicle. Unauthorized connections are unlawful in some states and/or localities. A transfer
switch must be installed to prevent interconnection of the generator set power and outside
power.
5) MOVING PARTS: Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from belts and related pulleys when unit is running.
Replace guards, covers, and screens before operating the generator set. Serious personal
injury may occur from contact with moving parts.
6) HIGH VOLTAGE: Remember the function of a generator set is to produce electricity. Wherever electricity
is present there is a potential danger of electrocution. Apply the same precautions to the
vehicles electrical appliances as you would for any home appliance. Keep away from
electrical circuits and wiring while the generator set is running. Have electrical service
performed only by qualified electricians. Be sure any unauthorized person; especially
children are denied access to the generator set. Keep the compartment door securely latched
or locked at all times. Be sure the generator is properly grounded. Never touch electrical
leads or appliances with wet hands, or when standing on wet ground.
