2.1 General Safety Precautions
Check that all necessary or available guards are correctly fitted. DO NOT dismantle or
disable any safety devices.
Check the generator is securely mounted.
Check all mechanical connections are satisfactory.
Check all electrical connections are correct, safely insulated and suitably earthed.
Ensure that the earth spike is connected to the earth point in front of the plant.
All service and maintenance personnel must be competent and adequately trained.
Always dispose of any rags used to clean up fuel or oil in appropriate bins.
Always disconnect the main battery before commencing maintenance operations.
Ensure that the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is worn while
working on generators.
Stay clear of any moving parts.
2.2 Safety During Transportation
Always shut the engine down before transporting.
Never transport the generator with any access doors open.
Ensure the fuel tank cap is securely tightened.
Drain fuel when transporting the generator over long distances or rough terrain.
In order to lift and transport the generator, lifting machines of the appropriate
capacity must be used. All loose and pivoting parts must be securely fixed.
When relocating the generator only lift from designated lift points.
Do not use the lifting points located over the engine, alternator or any other
components.
If the generator is damaged during transport, repairs should only be carried out by
an authorised service agent.
Unpacking must be carried out carefully, avoiding any damage to the goods –
particularly when using levers, saws or any other metallic tools.

2.3 Safety During Installation & Initial Start-up
All installation and repair procedures must be carried out by competent and
adequately trained personnel.
Installation of the generator must be in accordance with Clause 4.
Ensure all emergency procedures are adhered to.
Ensure that the appropriate PPE is worn while working on the generator.
Under no circumstances are any guards, panels or insulating materials to be
tampered with.
Do not leave any flammable liquids or materials near the generator or any other part
of the electrical installation.
Take extreme caution to avoid risks of electrocution. Ensure that all earthing
installations have been fitted according to the Electrical Standards and all local
regulations.
Ensure all connections and wires are insulated. Do not leave any of the generator’s
electrical terminals unprotected.
Ensure all connection points and their accessories have been correctly earthed.
Verify and ensure that all electrical power connections and auxiliary service
connections are correct.
Check that the phase rotation matches the power supply.
Ensure the correct ventilation of the premises so that all exhaust gases are released
to the atmosphere and verify that they are in a safe position away from all doors,
windows and air intakes.
Make sure there are no leaks in the oil and fuel pipes.
Never stand under or close to any object that is being hoisted or lifted into position.
2.4 Safety During Operation
Only competent and adequately trained personnel are to access the operating area
of the generator.
Always wear ear protection when the generator is in operation.
Before operating the generator, make sure the earth spike is connected to the earth
point in front of the plant.
Before starting the engine, turn off any connected loads and set all circuit breakers

to the “OFF” position.
Do not operate the generator in any poorly ventilated areas.
Do not handle any wires or connections when the generator is operating.
Do not touch any rotating machinery.
Do not move the generator when it is operating.
Do not connect or disconnect loads whilst the generator is operating. High voltage is
present whenever the engine is running. Loads should be connected correctly before
starting the engine.
Do not smoke near the generator or any other fuel sources.
Do not point the exhaust towards people or buildings.
Use the emergency stop button only in an actual emergency. Do not restart the
engine until the problem has been verified and corrected.
2.5 Safety Around Diesel Engines
Do not operate the engine when the air cleaner is removed. Engine backfire can
cause serious burns.
Do not remove the radiator cap while the engine is running. Allow the coolant to
sufficiently cool before removing the radiator cap. Coolant that is hot and under
pressure may cause serious burns.
Do not add coolant, oil or fuel to a hot engine. Allow the engine to sufficiently cool
first.
Do not touch the engine and muffler while the engine is running. Allow the engine to
sufficiently cool before any maintenance is performed.
Do not smoke in the vicinity of the generator.
Consistently monitor the exhaust system for leaks. In the event of a leak, repair
immediately.
2.6 Safety During Maintenance
All checks or maintenance of the generator must be carried out by competent and
adequately trained personnel.
Ensure that the engine has fully stopped before performing any maintenance.
Disconnect the terminals from the battery before operating any components of the
electrical installation.

Do not remove the radiator cap while the engine is running. Allow the coolant to
sufficiently cool before removing the radiator cap. Coolant that is hot and under
pressure may cause serious burns.
Only correct plugs are to be used in electrical outlets.
Ensure all naked flames have been extinguished before refuelling.
Periodically check the clamping and insulation of all electrical connections.
Ensure that the appropriate PPE is worn while working on the generator.
