WARNING
Hot engine and exhaust system.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Do not work on generator set until it is allowed to
cool.
Fire can cause severe injury or death. Hot generator
set can ignite debris in compartment. Keep the
compartmentandgeneratorsetclean and free of debris
and combustible materials to minimize chances of fire.
Do not block fuel/oil drain opening in generator set
mounting tray. Cut a corresponding hole in the
subflooring for drain opening if subflooring is used.
WARNING
Carbon monoxide.
Can cause severe nausea, fainting, or death.
The exhaust system must be leakproof and
routinely inspected.
Carbon monoxide can cause severe nausea,
fainting, or death. Install exhaust system tail pipe so
discharged exhaust gases willnot be drawn intovehicle
interior through windows, doors, air conditioners, etc.
Do not use flexible tail pipingsince thistype could crack
and allow lethal exhaust fumes to enter the vehicle.
Carbon monoxide can cause severe nausea,
fainting, or death. Never operate the generator set
inside a building unless the exhaust gas is piped safely
outside. Never operate in any area where exhaust gas
could accumulate and seep back inside an occupied
building or vehicle. Be careful when parking your
vehicle to avoid obstructing the exhaust outlet. The
exhaust gases must discharge freely to prevent carbon
monoxide from deflecting into the vehicle. Avoid
breathing exhaust fumes when working on or near the
generator set. Carbon monoxide is particularly
dangerous because it is an odorless, colorless,
tasteless, nonirritating gas that can cause death if
inhaled for even a short period of time.
Carbon monoxide can cause severe nausea,
fainting, or death. Do not use copper tubing in diesel
exhaust systems. Diesel fumes can rapidly destroy
coppertubingindieselexhaustsystems. Exhaustsulfur
causes rapid deterioration of copper tubing resulting in
exhaust leakage.
