1.3 PROPANE SAFETY
WARNING!
Propane is a Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) which is highly flammable and
explosive.
Do not store or use LPG in an enclosed area.
Do not expose the LPG cylinder to excessive heat.
Fully close the LPG cylinder when the generator is not in use or is running
with gasoline.
Never use a gas container, LPG connector hose, LPG cylinder or any
other fuel item that appears damaged.
If you smell gas, close the gas supply and check all connections for leaks
before attempting to use the generator again.
Keep the LPG cylinder in an upright position.
Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator all the time.
1.4 MAINTENANCE SAFETY
WARNING!
After any maintenance is performed, wash hands immediately using soap
and clean water because repeated exposure to lubricant may cause skin
irritation.
Do not clean the filter element with flammable liquids like gasoline
because an explosion may occur.
Turn off the engine and allow the generator to cool down before
performing any maintenance. Failure to do so can cause severe personal
injury or death.
Always wear safety glasses when cleaning the generator set with air.
Do not clean the generator set with a pressure washer because it can
cause damage to the generator set.
When working with batteries, ventilate the area, use safety glasses, do
not smoke. Always disconnect the negative first and reconnect it last.
Use rubber gloves when coming into contact with engine oil.
Always stop the generator set before removing the oil filler cap.
Only qualified maintenance personnel with knowledge of fuels,
electricity, and machinery hazards should perform maintenance
procedures.
See 'Maintenance Schedule' for the recommended maintenance
schedule.
