TP-6482 8/06 8 Safety Precautions and Instructions
Servicing the generator set when it
is operating. Exposed moving parts
can cause severe injury or death.
Keep hands, feet, hair, clothing, and
test leads away from the belts and
pulleys when the generator set is
running. Replace guards, screens, and
covers before operating the generator
set.
Notice
NOTICE
Hardware damage. The engine and
generator set may use both American
Standard and metric hardware. Use
the correct size tools to prevent
rounding of the bolt heads and nuts.
NOTICE
When replacing hardware, do not
substitute
with inferior grade
hardware. Screws and nuts are
available in different hardness ratings.
To
indicate hardness, American
Standard hardware uses a series of
markings, and metric hardware uses a
numeric system. Check the markings
on the bolt heads and nuts for
identification.
NOTICE
Electrostatic discharge damage.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
damages electronic circuit boards.
Prevent
electrostatic discharge
damage by wearing an approved
grounding wrist strap when handling
electronic circuit boards or integrated
circuits. An approved grounding wrist
strap provides a high resistance (about
1 megohm), not a direct short, to
ground.
NOTICE
Fuse replacement. Replace fuses
with fuses of the same ampere rating
and type (for example: 3AB or 314,
ceramic).
Do not substitute clear
glass-type fuses for ceramic fuses.
Refer to the wiring diagram when the
ampere
rating is unknown or
questionable.
