fainting, or death.
The exhaust system must be
leakproof and routinely inspected.
WARNING

TP-6774 2/14a8 Safety Precautions and Instructions
Carbon monoxide symptoms.
Carbon monoxide can cause severe
nausea, fainting, or death. Carbon
monoxide is a poisonous gas present in
exhaust gases. Carbon monoxide is an
odorless, colorless, tasteless,
nonirritating gas that can cause death if
inhaled for even a short time. Carbon
monoxide poisoning symptoms include
but are not limited to the following:
DLight-headedness, dizziness
DPhysical fatigue, weakness in
joints and muscles
DSleepiness, mental fatigue,
inability to concentrate
or speak clearly, blurred vision
DStomachache, vomiting, nausea
If experiencing any of these symptoms
and carbon monoxide poisoning is
possible, seek fresh air immediately
and remain active. Do not sit, lie down,
or fall asleep. Alert others to the
possibility of carbon monoxide
poisoning. Seek medical attention if
the condition of affected persons does
not improve within minutes of breathing
fresh air.
Inspecting the exhaust system.
Carbon monoxide can cause severe
nausea, fainting, or death. For the
safety of the craft’s occupants, install a
carbon monoxide detector. Never
operate the generator set without a
functioning carbon monoxide detector.
Inspect the detector before each
generator set use.
Operating the generator set. Carbon
monoxide can cause severe nausea,
fainting, or death. Be especially
careful if operating the generator set
when moored or anchored under calm
conditions because gases may
accumulate. If operating the generator
set dockside, moor the craft so that the
exhaust discharges on the lee side (the
side sheltered from the wind). Always
be aware of others, making sure your
exhaust is directed away from other
boats and buildings.
Fuel System
Explosive fuel vapors.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Use extreme care when handling,
storing, and using fuels.
WARNING
The fuel system. Explosive fuel
vapors can cause severe injury or
death. Vaporized fuels are highly
explosive. Use extreme care when
handling and storing fuels. Store fuels
in a well-ventilated area away from
spark-producing equipment and out of
the reach of children. Never add fuel to
the tank while the engine is running
because spilled fuel may ignite on
contact with hot parts or from sparks.
Do not smoke or permit flames or
sparks to occur near sources of spilled
fuel or fuel vapors. Keep the fuel lines
and connections tight and in good
condition. Do not replace flexible fuel
lines with rigid lines. Use flexible
sections to avoid fuel line breakage
caused by vibration. Do not operate the
generator set in the presence of fuel
leaks, fuel accumulation, or sparks.
Repair fuel systems before resuming
generator set operation.
Draining the fuel system. Explosive
fuel vapors can cause severe injury
or death. Spilled fuel can cause an
explosion. Use a container to catch fuel
when draining the fuel system. Wipe up
spilled fuel after draining the system.
Hazardous Noise
Hazardous noise.
Can cause hearing loss.
Never operate the generator set
without a muffler or with a faulty
exhaust system.
CAUTION
Hazardous Voltage/
Moving Parts

Section 2 Scheduled Maintenance
2.1 General
Schedule routine maintenance using the service
schedule located in the generator set operation manual
and the runtime hours shown on the ADC IId. If the
generator set will be subject to extreme operating
conditions, service the unit accordingly.
Note: See the generator set operation manual for the
service schedule and other service not included
in this manual.
Note: High-mineral content seawater (salt water) can
cause rapid destruction of metals. Wipe up all
salt water spillage on and around the generator
set and keep metal surfaces free from
accumulated salt deposits.
Accidental starting.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Disconnect the battery cables before
working on the generator set.
Remove the negative (--) lead first
when disconnecting the battery.
Reconnect the negative (--) lead last
when reconnecting the battery.
WARNING
Disabling the generator set. Accidental starting can
cause severe injury or death. Before working on the
generator set or connected equipment, disable the generator
set as follows: (1) Move the generator set master switch to the
OFF position. (2) Disconnect the power to the battery charger.
(3) Remove the battery cables, negative (--) lead first.
Reconnect the negative (--) lead last when reconnecting the
battery. Follow these precautions to prevent starting of the
generator set by an automatic transfer switch, remote
start/stop switch, or engine start command from a remote
computer.
Hazardous voltage.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Operate the generator set only when
all guards and electrical enclosures
areinplace.
Moving parts.
WARNING
Servicing the generator set when it is operating. Exposed
moving parts can cause severe injury or death. Keep
hands, feet, hair, clothing, and test leads away from the belts
and pulleys when the generator set is running. Replace
guards, screens, and covers before operating the generator
set.
