IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual
contains important instructions that should be followed
during installation and maintenance of the generator
and batteries.
Before operating the generator set (genset), read the
Operator’s Manual and become familiar with it and the
equipment. Safe and efficient operation can be
achieved only if the equipment is properly operated
and maintained. Many accidents are caused by failure
to follow fundamental rules and precautions.
The following symbols, found throughout this manual,
alert you to potentially dangerous conditions to the
operator, service personnel, or the equipment.
This symbol warns of
immediate hazards which will result in
severe personal injury or death.
This symbol refers to a
hazard or unsafe practice which can
result in severe personal injury or death.
This symbol refers to a
hazard or unsafe practice which can
result in personal injury or product or
property damage.
FUEL AND FUMES ARE FLAMMABLE
Fire, explosion, and personal injury or death can result
from improper practices.
• DO NOT fill fuel tanks while engine is running,
unless tanks are outside the engine
compartment. Fuel contact with hot engine or
exhaust is a potential fire hazard.
• DO NOT permit any flame, cigarette, pilot
light, spark, arcing equipment, or other ignition
source near the generator set or fuel tank.
• Fuel lines must be adequately secured and
free of leaks. Fuel connection at the engine
should be made with an approved flexible line.
Do not use zinc coated or copper fuel lines
with diesel fuel
• Be sure all fuel supplies have a positive
shutoff valve.
• Be sure battery area has been well-ventilated prior
to servicing near it. Lead-acid batteries emit a highly
explosive hydrogen gas that can be ignited by
arcing, sparking, smoking, etc.
EXHAUST GASES ARE DEADLY
• Provide an adequate exhaust system to properly
expel discharged gases away from enclosed or
sheltered areas and areas where individuals are
likely to congregate. Visually and audibly inspect
the exhaust daily for leaks per the maintenance
schedule. Make sure that exhaust manifolds are
secured and not warped. Do not use exhaust
gases to heat a compartment.
• Be sure the unit is well ventilated.
• Engine exhaust and some of its constituents
are known to the state of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive
harm.
MOVING PARTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH
• Keep your hands, clothing, and jewelry away
from moving parts.
• Before starting work on the generator set,
disconnect battery charger from its AC
source, then disconnect starting batteries,
negative (–) cable first. This will prevent
accidental starting.
• Make sure that fasteners on the generator set
are secure. Tighten supports and clamps,
keep guards in position over fans, drive belts,
etc.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry in the
vicinity of moving parts, or while working on
electrical equipment. Loose clothing and
jewelry can become caught in moving parts.
• If adjustment must be made while the unit is
running, use extreme caution around hot
manifolds, moving parts, etc.
DO NOT OPERATE IN FLAMMABLE
ANDEXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS
Flammable vapor can cause an engine to overspeed
and become difficult to stop, resulting in possible fire,
explosion, severe personal injury and death. Do not
operate a genset where a flammable vapor
environment can be created by fuel spill, leak, etc.,
unless the genset is equipped with an automatic
safety device to block the air intake and stop the
engine. The owners and operators of the genset are
solely responsible for operating the genset safely.
Contact your authorized Cummins Power
Generation distributor for more information.

DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION

ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH
• Remove electric power before removing
protective shields or touching electrical
equipment. Use rubber insulative mats placed
on dry wood platforms over floors that are metal
or concrete when around electrical equipment.
Do not wear damp clothing (particularly wet
shoes) or allow skin surface to be damp when
handling electrical equipment. Do not wear
jewelry. Jewelry can short out electrical contacts
and cause shock or burning.
• Use extreme caution when working on electrical
components. High voltages can cause injury or
death. DO NOT tamper with interlocks.
• Follow all applicable state and local electrical
codes. Have all electrical installations performed
by a qualified licensed electrician. Tag and lock
open switches to avoid accidental closure.
• DO NOT CONNECT GENERATOR SET DI-
RECTLY TO ANY BUILDING ELECTRICAL
SYSTEM. Hazardous voltages can flow from the
generator set into the utility line. This creates a
potential for electrocution or property damage.
Connect only through an approved isolation
switch or an approved paralleling device.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Coolants sunder pressure have a higher boiling
point than water. DO NOT open a radiator or
heat ex-changer pressure cap while the engine
is running. To prevent severe scalding, let
engine cool down before removing coolant
pressure cap. Turn cap slowly, and do not open
it fully until the pressure has been relieved.
• Used engine oils have been identified by some
state or federal agencies as causing cancer or
reproductive toxicity. When checking or
changing engine oil, take care not to ingest,
breathe the fumes, or con-tact used oil.
• Keep multi-class ABC fire extinguishers
handy. Class A fires involve ordinary
combustible materials such as wood and
cloth; Class B fires, combustible and
flammable liquid fuels and gaseous fuels;
Class C fires, live electrical equipment. (ref.
NFPA No. 10).
• Make sure that rags are not left on or near
the generator set.
• Make sure generator set is mounted in a
manner to prevent combustible materials
from accumulating under or near the unit.
• Remove all unnecessary grease and oil from
the unit. Accumulated grease and oil can
cause over-heating and engine damage
which present a potential fire hazard.
• Keep the generator set and the surrounding
area clean and free from obstructions.
Remove any debris from the set and keep
the floor clean and dry.
• Do not work on this equipment when
mentally or physically fatigued, or after
consuming any alcohol or drug that makes
the operation of equipment unsafe.
• Substances in exhaust gases have been
identified by some state or federal agencies
as causing cancer or reproductive toxicity.
Take care not to breath or ingest or come
into contact with exhaust gases.
• Do not store any flammable liquids, such as
fuel, cleaners, oil, etc., near the generator
set. A fire or explosion could result.
• Wear hearing protection when going near an
operating generator set.
• To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with
hot metal parts such as radiator system,
turbo charger system and exhaust system.
