NOTICE

State Health Safety Codes and Public Resources Codes specify that in cer-

tain locations spark arresters be used on internal combustion engines that

use hydrocarbon fuels. A spark arrester is a device designed to prevent acci-

dental discharge of sparks or flames from the engine exhaust. Spark ar-

resters are qualified and rated by the United States Forest Service for this

purpose. In order to comply with local laws regarding spark arresters, consult

the engine distributor or the local Health and Safety Administrator.

• Heat, noise, and exhaust from the engine or hydronic heater

• Burns from the HTF or radiant heat from the hoses

• Fire hazards from improper refueling techniques

• Tripping hazards from the hoses

• Fire hazards from improper refueling techniques

• Fuel and its fumes

• Electric shock and arc flash

• Personal injury from improper lifting the trailer tongue

• Typical hazards related to towing a trailer on roads and highways

3.4 Safety Guidelines for Operating Generators

DANGER

Carbon monoxide hazard

Using a generator indoors can kill you in minutes. Generator exhaust con-

tains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a poison you cannot see or smell. If you

can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing CO. But even if you can-

not smell the exhaust, you could still be breathing CO.

WARNING

Electrocution hazard

Generators present special hazards during operation and servicing. These

include the risk of electrocution or severe electrical shock. Failure to follow

the safety information below can result in severe injury or death.

► Read and follow the safety instructions in this Operator’s Manual.

► Contact the generator manufacturer for additional information regarding

the generator.

WARNING

Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation

and fueling.

Failure to follow the warnings and safety instructions could result in severe

injury or death.

► Read and follow the safety instructions in this Operator’s Manual.

► Contact the generator manufacturer for additional information regarding

the generator.

WARNING

Most used oil contains small amounts of materials that can cause cancer

and other health problems if inhaled, ingested, or left in contact with skin for

prolonged periods of time.

► Take steps to avoid inhaling or ingesting used engine oil.

► Wash skin thoroughly after exposure to used engine oil.

This machine is built with user safety in mind; however, like any electrical de-

vice it can present serious hazards if improperly operated and serviced. Fol-

low instructions carefully. Should questions arise during operation or service

of this equipment, contact your Wacker Neuson dealer.
