1‐6 Product Safety Information MN2408Warning Statements ContinuedMaintenanceWARNING: Before cleaning, inspecting, repairing or performing any maintenance to the generator set,always be sure the engine has stopped and that all rotating parts have also stopped. Afterstopping, certain components are still extremely hot so be careful not to get burned. Beforeservicing the generator set, be sure to disconnect the spark plug wires and the batteryterminals to prevent accidental engine rotation or starting.WARNING: Engine coolant is under pressure and is near the boiling point of water when engine is hot.Do not open the coolant system until the engine has completely cooled. Hot coolant cancause severe burns and other injuries. When engine is cool, coolant level can be checked.WARNING: Before servicing the generator set, be sure to disconnect the spark plug wires and the batteryterminals to prevent accidental engine rotation or starting.WARNING: Inspect all wiring frequently and replace any damaged, broken or frayed wiring or wires withdamaged insulation immediately. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury.WARNING: Disconnect all electrical wires and load devices from generator power outlets before servicingthe generator. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Always treat electricalcircuits as if they are energized.WARNING: Check all fuel supply piping, and their connections monthly for fuel leaks. LPG and naturalgas fuels are flammable and can cause fire, explosions, injury or death. If a leak is found,replace only with approved pipe or components.Caution StatementsCaution: Avoid installing the generator set beside heat generating equipment, or directly below wateror steam pipes or in the vicinity of corrosive substances or vapors, metal particles and dust.Heat can cause engine problems to develop and unwanted substances can cause rust orgenerator failure over time.Caution: Do not apply high voltage to windings (do not start the generator) in a moisture-saturatedcondition. Moisture can cause insulation breakdown, making it necessary to return thegenerator for repair.Caution: Use only original equipment or authorized replacement parts. Using the correct parts willassure continued safe operation as designed.Caution: Do not support the generator from the top of the frame or enclosure.Caution: Do not tamper with or change the engine speed. Engine speed is factory set to produce thecorrect voltage and output frequency.Caution: Never operate the engine without a muffler. The engine is designed to have the correctexhaust components installed and operating without these components can present a firehazard, cause excessive exhaust gases and cause damage to engine. Inspect mufflerperiodically and replace if necessary.Caution: The Programmable Output Contacts selection must agree with the external control wiringprior to energizing the controller. Failure to do so may cause severe equipment damage.
