Precautions on Additional
Equipment
Water Heater
For generators for emergency use with a water
heater, be sure to follow the instructions below:
• The water heater is outside the scope
of our supply.
For the details, refer to the
corresponding manual of the generator.
• Always place the water heater switch in the ON
position to maintain the cooling water
temperature to the proper value (35°C [95°F] or
higher).
• If you had to set the water heater switch to "OFF"
for inspection and maintenance, be sure to set
the switch back to "ON" after completing the
work.
Start up the engine only after the coolant
temperature reaches the proper temperature
(35°C [95°F] or higher).
Develop the Action Procedure
to Obey in the Event of
Emergency
It is necessary to develop the action procedure to
observe in the event of emergency so as to rescue
and assist the operators involved in an accident.
Some items that are to be included in the action
procedure are given below as a reference.
(a) Assign a liaison person as support staff of
rescue works
(b) Include at least one rescue trained person in
each work party
(c) Prepare the suitable tools and equipment
required for rescue work.
Keep Everyone Informed about
the Emergency Stop Procedure
Compile the information about the protection
devices, fuel, engine oil, pipings of the cooling and
Inlet/exhaust system installed during
manufacturing the generator and attach it on the
next page.
Also ensure that their locations and function are
instructed to, and understand by the operators in
addition to the details of the "Safety Manual".
Do not touch the water heater even
after stopping of the engine.
* Even after stopping, water heater is at high
temperature and touching it may cause burns.
For the generator with a water heater,
connect the wiring of the water
heater correctly.
* Otherwise, flue explosion may occur, which
could cause serious personal injury or damage
to the devices.
For the generator with a water heater,
always set the water heater switch to
"ON".
* If you start up the engine when the water heater
switch is "OFF", incomplete combustion may
occur, which could result in flue explosion or
deterioration in the exhaust gas properties.
Prepare first-aid kits and first aid
tools.
* Otherwise, in case of personal injury, first aid
treatment can be delayed, which may cause
death in the worst case.
Prepare an emergency action plan in
the event of emergency (fire,
accidents, etc.) including emergency
contact points and means of
communication.
* Delay in action will result in expansion of
damage.
