Generac Power Systems 0G6019 用户手册

 2 

Inspect the generator regularly, and promptly 

repair or replace all worn, damaged or defective 

parts using only factory-approved parts.

Before performing any maintenance on the gen-

erator, disconnect its battery cables to prevent 

accidental start-up. Disconnect the cable from the 

battery post indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (–) 

first. Reconnect that cable last.

Never use the generator or any of its parts as a 

step. Stepping on the unit can stress and break 

parts, and may result in dangerous operating con-

ditions from leaking exhaust gases, fuel leakage, 

oil leakage, etc.

All generators covered by this manual produce 

dangerous electrical voltages and can cause fatal 

electrical shock. Utility power delivers extremely 

high and dangerous voltages to the transfer switch, 

as does the standby generator. Avoid contact with 

bare wires, terminals, connections, etc., on the gen-

erator as well as the transfer switch, if applicable. 

Ensure all appropriate covers, guards and barriers 

are in place before operating the generator. If work 

must be done around an operating unit, stand on 

an insulated, dry surface to reduce shock hazard.

Do not handle any kind of electrical device while 

standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands 

or feet are wet. DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL 

SHOCK MAY RESULT.

If people must stand on metal or concrete while 

installing, operating, servicing, adjusting or repair-

ing this equipment, place insulative mats over a 

dry wooden platform. Work on the equipment only 

while standing on such insulative mats.

The National Electrical Code (NEC), Article 250 

requires the frame and external electrically con-

ductive parts of the generator to be connected to 

an approved earth ground and/or grounding rods. 

This grounding will help prevent dangerous electri-

cal shock that might be caused by a ground fault 

condition in the generator set or by static electric-

ity. Never disconnect the ground wire.

Wire gauge sizes of electrical wiring, cables and 

cord sets must be adequate to handle the maxi-

mum electrical current (ampacity) to which they 

will be subjected.

Before installing or servicing this (and related) 

equipment, make sure that all power voltage 

supplies are positively turned off at their source. 

Failure to do so will result in hazardous and pos-

sibly fatal electrical shock.

Connecting this unit to an electrical system nor-

mally supplied by an electric utility shall be by 

means of a transfer switch so as to isolate the 

generator electric system from the electric utility 

distribution system when the generator is operat-

ing. Failure to isolate the two electric system power 

sources from each other by such means, will result 

in damage to the generator and may also result 

in injury or death to utility power workers due to 

backfeed of electrical energy.

Generators installed with an automatic transfer 

switch will crank and start automatically when 

normal (UTILITY) source voltage is removed or is 

below an acceptable preset level. To prevent such 

automatic start-up and possible injury to person-

nel, disable the generator’s automatic start circuit 

(battery cables, etc.) before working on or around 

the unit. Then, place a “Do Not Operate” tag on 

the generator control panel and on the transfer 

switch.

In case of accident caused by electric shock, imme-

diately shut down the source of electrical power. If 

this is not possible, attempt to free the victim from 

the live conductor. AVOID DIRECT CONTACT 

WITH THE VICTIM. Use a nonconducting imple-

ment, such as a dry rope or board, to free the 

victim from the live conductor. If the victim is 

unconscious, apply first aid and get immediate 

medical help.

Never wear jewelry when working on this equip-

ment. Jewelry can conduct electricity resulting in 

electric shock, or may get caught in moving com-

ponents causing injury.





Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator at all 

times. Do NOT use any carbon tetra-chloride type 
extinguisher. Its fumes are toxic, and the liquid 
can deteriorate wiring insulation. Keep the extin-
guisher properly charged and be familiar with its 
use. If there are any questions pertaining to fire 
extinguishers, consult the local fire department.

Properly ventilate any room or building housing 

the generator to prevent build-up of explosive gas.

Do not smoke around the generator. Wipe up any 

fuel or oil spills immediately. Ensure that no com-
bustible materials are left in the generator com-
partment, or on or near the generator, as FIRE or 
EXPLOSION may result. Keep the area surround-
ing the generator clean and free from debris.

These generator sets may operate using one of 

several types of fuels. All fuel types are potentially 
FLAMMABLE and/or EXPLOSIVE and should be 
handled with care. Comply with all laws regulat-
ing the storage and handling of fuels. Inspect the 
unit’s fuel system frequently and correct any leaks 
immediately. Fuel supply lines must be prop-
erly installed, purged and leak tested according to 
applicable fuel-gas codes before placing this equip-
ment into service.

Diesel fuels are highly FLAMMABLE. Gaseous 

fluids such as natural gas and liquid propane 
(LP) gas are extremely EXPLOSIVE. Natural gas 
is lighter than air, and LP gas is heavier than air; 
install leak detectors accordingly.
