9. MAINTENANCE
9.5 RISK OF ELECTROCUTION AND FIRE
HAZARD
Improper storage of
extension cord.
Operation of generator
in rain, wet, icy, or
flooded conditions.
Placing generator on
or against highly
conductive surface,
such as a steel walkway
or metal roof.
Use of worm, damaged
or ungrounded
extension cords.
Operation of unit when
damaged, or with
guards or panels
removed.
WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
Water is an excellent conductor of
electricity! Water which comes in contact
with electrically charged components can
transmit electricity to the frame and other
surfaces, resulting in electrical shock to
anyone contacting them.
Extension cord can come into contact with
hot engine parts resulting in damage.
Using a damaged extension cord can result
in electrocution of death.
Accidental leakage of electrical current
could charge conductive surfaces in contact
with the generator.
Contact with worn of damaged extension
cords could result in electrocution.
Use of ungrounded cordsets could prevent
operation of circuit breakers and result in
electrical shock.
Attempting to use the unit when it has been
damaged, or when it is not functioning
normally could result in fire or electrocution.
Removal of guarding could expose
electrically charged components and result
in electrocution.
Do not operate generator with mechanical
or electrical problem. Have unit repaired by
an Authorised Service Centre.
Do not operate generator with protective
guarding removed.
Inspect extension cords before use and
replace with new cord if required.
Always use a cordset having a grounding
wire with an appropriate grounding plug.
DO NOT use an ungrounded plug.
Place generator on low conductivity surface
such as a concrete slab.
ALWAYS operate generator a minimum of
2 meters from any conductive surface.
Operate generator in a clean, dry, well
ventilated area. Make sure hands are dry
before touching unit.
Remove extension cord from the generator
and store separately away from generator.
