Diesel engine exhaust and some of its
constituents are known to the State of
Californiatocause cancer,birth
defectsandotherreproductiveharm.
Dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities also contain
chemicalsknowntocausecancer.
Someexamplesofthesechemicalsare:
Leadfromlead-basedpaints
Crystallinesilicafrombricks
Cementandothermasonryproducts
Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often youdo this
type of work.To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a
well-ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, suchas
dust masks that are specially designed
tofilteroutmicroscopicparticles.

Grinding/cutting/drillingofmasonry,concrete,metaland
other materials with silica in their composition may give
off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a
basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and
numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or
substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can
cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including
silicosis.Inaddition, California and some other
authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a
substance known to cause cancer. When cutting such
materials, always follow the respiratory precautions
mentionedabove.
WARNING
Grinding/cutting/drillingofmasonry,concrete,metaland
other materials can generate dust, mists and fumes
containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal
injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. If you are
unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular
process and/or material being cut or the composition of
the tool being used, review the material safety data
sheet and/or consult your employer, the material
manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as
OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous
materials. California and some other authorities, for
instance, have published lists of substances known to
cause cancer, reproductive toxicity,or other harmful
effects.
Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where
possible. In this regard use good work practices and
follow the recommendations of the manufacturers or
suppliers, OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade
associations.Water should be used for dust
suppression when wet cutting is feasible. When the
hazardsfrom inhalationof dust,mistsand fumescannot
be eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should
always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHAfor
thematerialsbeingused.

maximum allowable.
FUEL SAFETY
DANGER

DO NOT start the engine near spilled fuel or combustible
fluids. Fuel is extremely flammable and its vapors can
cause an explosion if ignited.

ALWAYS refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from
sparks and open flames.

ALWAYS use extreme caution when working with
flammable liquids.

DO NOT fill the fuel tank while the engine is running
or hot.

the ignition system.

Store fuel in appropriate containers, in well-ventilated
areas and away from sparks and flames.

NEVER use fuel as a cleaning agent.

DO NOT smoke around or near the
equipment. Fire or explosion could result

hot engine.
BATTERY SAFETY
DANGER
DO NOT
drop the battery. There is a possibility that the
battery will explode.
DO NOT expose the battery to open flames,
sparks, cigarettes, etc.The battery contains
combustible gases and liquids. If these
gases and liquids come into contact with a
flame or spark, an explosion could occur.

ALWAYS wear safety glasses when
handling the battery to avoid eye irritation.
The battery contains acids that can cause
injury to the eyes and skin.
Use well-insulated gloves when picking up
the battery.
ALWAYS
keep the battery charged. If the battery is not
charged, combustible gas will build up.
DO NOT
charge battery if frozen. Battery can explode.
When frozen, warm the battery to at least 61°F (16°C).
ALWAYS
recharge the battery in a well-ventilated
environment to avoid the risk of a dangerous concentration
of combustible gases.
If the battery liquid (dilute sulfuric acid)
comes into contact with clothing or skin,
rinse skin or clothing immediately with
plenty of water.

If the battery liquid (dilute sulfuric acid) comes into
contact with eyes
, rinse eyes immediately with plenty
of water and contact the nearest doctor or hospital to
seek medical attention.

SAFETY INFORMATION
TRANSPORTING SAFETY
CAUTION

NEVER allow any person or animal to stand underneath
the equipment while lifting.
NOTICE

Before lifting, make sure that the equipment parts are not
damaged and screws are not loose or missing.

ALWAYS make sure forklift forks are inserted into pockets
(if applicable) as far as possible when lifting the pump.

ALWAYS shutdown engine before transporting.

NEVER lift the equipment while the engine is running.

Tighten fuel tank cap securel to prevent fuel from spilling.

Use one point suspension hook and lift straight upwards.

DO NOT lift machine to unnecessary heights.

ALWAYS tie down equipment during transport by
securing the equipment with straps, rope or chains.
TOWING SAFETY
CAUTION

Check with your local county or state safety
towing regulations, in addition to meeting
Department of Transportation (DOT)
SafetyTowing Regulations, before towing
your generator.

In order to reduce the possibility of an accident while
transporting the generator on public roads, ALWAYS
make sure the trailer that supports the pump and the
towing vehicle are mechanically sound and in good
operating condition.

ALWAYS shutdown engine before transporting

Make sure the hitch and coupling of the towing vehicle
are rated equal to, or greater than the trailer “gross
vehicle weight rating.”

ALWAYS inspect the hitch and coupling for wear. NEVER
tow a trailer with defective hitches, couplings, chains, etc.
Check the tire air pressure on both towing vehicle and
trailer.
Trailer tires should be inflated to 80 psi cold.
Also check the tire tread wear on both vehicles.
ALWAYS make sure the trailer is equipped with a
safety
chain.
ALWAYS properly
attach trailer’s safety chains to towing
vehicle.
ALWAYS
make sure the vehicle and trailer directional,
backup, brake and trailer lights are connected and
working properly.
DOT Requirements include the following:
• Connect and test electric brake operation.
• Secure portable power cables in cable tray with tie
wraps.
The maximum speed for highway towing is 55 MPH
unless
posted otherwise. Recommended off-road towing is not
to exceed 15 MPH or less depending on type of terrain.

Avoid sudden stops and starts.This can cause skidding,
or jack-knifing. Smooth, gradual starts and stops will
improve towing.
Avoid sharp turns to prevent rolling.

Trailer should be adjusted to a level position at all times
when towing.

Raise and lock trailer wheel stand in up position when
towing.
Place chock blocks underneath wheel to prevent
rolling
while parked.
Place support blocks
underneath the trailer’s bumper
to prevent tipping while parked.

Use the trailer’s swivel jack to adjust the trailer height to
a level position while parked.
