The propane fuel supply lines MUST comply with all
requirementsofNFPA501CSection3-5.paragraphs
1.1
and
1.2
as well as Canadian Gas Association Bulletin 6149.2-78. The
installer must review and comply with all applicable codes
regarding fuel tanks, supply lines.and pressure testing complete
system for leaksafter installation is complete and PRIOR
to
initial
operation of the generator set
Have a fire extinguisher nearby. Be sure extinguisher is properly
maintained and be familiar with its proper use. Extinguishers
rated ABC by the NFPA are appropriate for all applications.
Consult the local fire department for the correct type
of
extin-
guisher for various applications.
Guard Against Electric
Shock
Remove electric power before removing protective shields or
touching electrical equipment Use rubber insulative mats
placed on dry wood platfqrms over floors
that
are metal or con-
crete when around electrical equipment
Do
not wear damp
clothing (particularly wet shoes)
or
allow
skin
surfaces
to
be
damp when handling electrical equipment
Jewelry is agood conductor of electricity andshould be removed
when working
on
electrical equipment
DO
NOT CONNECT GENERATOR
SET
DIRECTLY
TO
ANY
BUlLDlNG ELECTRICALSYSTEM. Hazardoe voltages
can
flow
from thegenerator set intothe utilityiine.Thiscreates a potential
for electrocution or property damage.
Connect
onlythrough an
approved device and after building main switch is open. Consult
an electrician
in
regard
to
emergency power use.
Use extreme caution when working on electrical components.
High voltages cause injury or death.
Follow all state and local electrical codes. Have all electrical
installations performed by a qualified licensed electrician.

that cleaning and rinse water, and other contaminants are not
allowed into the generator. air cleaner, control box, fuel solenoid,
or electrical connec:ors. Generator set operation and internal
components can be adversely affected.
Do
NOT clean the generator set while unit is operating. This can
result in personal injury
or
product
or
property damage.
Do
NOT
use high pressure air. water, or steam for cleaning
generator set and compartment Dirt and other foreign matter can
be forced into generator, engine and control housings. Genera-
tor set operation and internal components can be adversely
aff9cted.
Do
NOT use high strength solvents. They can damage electrical
connectors.
Do
NOTstoreanything in the generator compartment such as oil
or gas cans, oily rags, chains, wooden blocks portable propane
cylinders, etc.
A
fire could result or the generator set operation
[cooling, noise and vibration) may be adversely affected. Keep
