SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS FOR ELECTRICAL POWER EQUIPMENT

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. Do not touch live electri,cal parts.

FUMES AND GASES can be fire and health hazards. Ventilate all fumes and exhaust gases to the outside.

ELECTRIC ARC FLASH can injure eyes, burn skin, cause equipment damage, and ignite combustible material. Do not

use power cables to break load and be sure tools don’t cause short circuits.

IMPROPER PHASE CONNECTION, PARALLELING, OR USE can damage this and attached equipment.

MOVING PARTS can cause serious injury. Keep clear of moving parts.

IMPORTANT - Protect yourself and others. Read and understand all the instructions in this Operating/Instruction

Manual before installing, operating, or servicing this equipment. Keep this manual available for future

use by all operators.

A. GENERAL

Equipment that supplies electrical power can cause serious injury or death, or damage to other equipment or

property, if the operator does not strictly observe all safety rules and take precautionary actions. Safe practices

have developed from past experience in the use of power source equipment. Certain of the practices below apply to

engine driven equipment.

6. SHOCK PREVENTION

Bare conductors, or terminals in the output circuit, or ungrounded, electrically-live equipment can fatally shock a

person. Have a competent electrician verify that the equipment is adequately grounded and learn what terminals

and parts are electrically HOT. Use proper safety clothing, procedures, and test equipment.

The electrical resistance of the body is decreased when wet, thus more easily permitting dangerous currents to flow

thraugh it. When inspecting or servicing equipment, do not work in damp areas without being extremely careful.

Stand on dry rubber mat or dry wood, use insulating gloves that are effective when dampness or sweat cannot be

avoided. Keep your clothing dry and never work alone.

1. Installation and Grounding of Electrically Powered Equipment - Electrical equipment must be installed

and maintained in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, and other applicable codes.

A Power disconnect switch or circuit breaker must be located at the equipment. Check the nameplate for voltage,

frequency, and phase requirements. If only 3-phase power is available, connect any single-phase rated equipment to

only two wires of the 3-phase line. DO NOT CONNECT the equipment grounding conductor (lead) to the third live

wire of the 3-phase line, g this makes the equipment frame electrically HOT, which can cause a fatal

---

--- --

shock.

Be sure ta connect the grounding lead, if supplied in a power line cable, to the grounded switch box or building

ground. If not provided, use a separate grounding lead. Be certain that the current (amperage) capacity of the

grounding lead will be adequate for the worst fault current situation. Refer to the National Electrical Code ANSI/

N FPA 70 for details. Do not remove plug ground prongs. Use correct mating receptacles.

2. Output Cables and Terminals - Inspect cables often for damage to the insulation and the connectors. Replace

or repair cracked or worn cables immediately. Do not overload cables. Do r(,ot touch output terminal while equip-

ment is energized.

Instruction 910082

Nov 16182 Revised

3. Service and Maintenance - This equipment must be maintained in good electrical and mechanical condition

to avoid hazards stemming from disrepair. Report any equipment defect or safety hazard to your supervisor and

discontinue use of the equipment until its safety’has been assured. Repairs should be made by qualified personnel

only. Shut OFF all power at the disconnecting switch or line breaker before inspecting or servicing the equipment.

Lock switch OPEN (or remove line fuses) so that power cannot be turned ON accidentally. Disconnect power to

equipment if it’is out of service. If troubleshooting must be don,e with the unit energized, have present another per-

son trained in turning off the equipment and providing or calling for first aid.

C. FIRE AND EXPLOSION PREVENTION

Fire and explosion are caused by electrical, short circuits, combustible material near engine exhaust piping, misuse

of batteries and fuel, or unsafe operating or fueling conditions.

1.

Electrical Short Circuits and Overloads - Overloaded or shorted equipment can become hot enough to cause

fires either by self destruction or causing nearby combustibles to ignite. Provide primary input protection to re-

move short circuited or heavily overloaded equipment from the line.

2. Battery - Batteries may explode and/or give off flammable hydrogen gas. The acid and arcing from a ruptured

battery can cause fires and additional failures. When servicing, do not smoke, causing sparking, or use open flame

near the battery.

3. Encine Fuel - Use only approved fuel container or fueling system. Fires and explosions can occur if the fuel

tank is not grounded prior to and during fuel transfer. Shut unit DOWN before removing fuel tank cap. Do not

completely fill tank. Heat from the equipment may cause fuel expansion overflow. Remove all spilled fuel im-

mediately including any that penetrates the unit. After cleanup, open equipment doors and blow fumes away with

compressed air.

D. TOXIC FUME PREVENTION

Carbon Monoxide - Engine exhaust fumes can kill and cause health problems. Pipe or vent the exhaust fumes to a

suitable exhaust duct or outdoors. Never locate engine exhausts near intake ducts or air conditioners.

E. BODILY INJURY PREVENTION

Serious injury can result from contact with fans, belts, and pulleys inside the equipment. Shut DOWN equipment

for inspection and routine maintenance. When equipment is in operation use extreme care in doing necessary

troubleshooting and adjustment.

F. MEDICAL AND FIRST AID TREATMENT

First aid facilities and a qualified first aid person should be available for each shift for immediate treatment of all

injury victims. Electric shock victims should be checked by a physician and taken to a hospital immediately if any

abnormal signs are observed.

EMERGENCY FIRST AID

Call physician immediately. Seek additional assistance and use First Aid techniques recommended

by American Red Cross until medical help arrives.

IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, give oxygen, if available, and have victim lie down. FOR ELEC-

TRICAL SHOCK, turn off power. Remove victim; if not breathing, begin artificial respiration,

preferably mouth-to-mouth. If no detectable pulse, begin external heart massage. Call Emergency

Rescue Squad immediately.

G. EQUIPMENT PRECAUTIONARY LABELS

1

Inspect all precautionary labels on the equipment monthly. Order and replace all labelp that cannot be easily read.

INTKODUCT ION

This manual contains operation and maintenance information for a 400-Hertz, generator set

manufactured by Hobart Brothers Company, Power Systems Division, Troy, Ohio 45373.

The ma&l is not intended to be ,a text book on e lectric ity or electronics . Its primary purpose

is to provide information and instructions to experienced operators, electriciarp, and mechanics

who have never seen or operated this generator set.

It is the intent of the manua I to guide

and assistoperators and maintenance people in the proper use and care of the equipment.

Use of the manual should not be put off until a trouble cr need for help develops. Read the

instruct ions before starting the unit. Learn to use the manual and to locate information con-

tained in it. Its style and arrangement are very similar to commercial aircraft manua k.

The manual is divided into six chapters.

as required. Each

Each chapter is divided into as many sections

new section starts with page 1.

Each page is identified by chapter,

section and page number which are located in the lower, outside corner. When in fcrmation

located in another portion of the manual is referred to, its location is identified by chapter,

section, and paragraph, cr figure number. Fcr example, “(See 2-3, Para. B)” refers to

information located in Chapter 2, Section 3, paragraph B.

If a Chapter and Section are

not indicated in a reference, the referenced material is located in the same section as the

reference, Example, (See Para. B).

In addition to operation and maintenance instructions,

the manual contains an illustrated

parts list in Chapter 4, and a collection of manufacturer’s literature and supplemental

informat ion in Chapter 6.

Content of the manual is arranged as follows:
