Safety Precautions and Instructions
Solé Diesel is concerned for your safety and your machine’s condition. Safety Precautions and
Instructions are one of the primary ways to call your attention to the potential hazards associated with
our genset operation. Follow the precautions listed throughout the manual before and during operation
and maintenance procedures for your safety, the safety of others and the performance of your genset.
Types of Safety Precautions:
-WARNING:indicates the presence of a hazard that can cause severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage.
-CAUTION: indicates the presence of a hazard that will or can cause minor personal injury
or property damage.
-NOTICE: communicates installation, operation and maintenance information that is safety
related but not hazard related.
WARNING
Servicing the fuel system and
combustible materials. A flash fire
can cause severe injury or death.
Do not smoke or permit flames or
sparks near the fuel injection system,
fuel line, fuel filter, fuel pump, or
other potential sources of spilled fuels
or fuel vapors.
Fig. 1. Warning label. In case of fire
Never add fuel to the tank while the engine is running because spilled fuel may ignite on contact with
hot parts or from sparks. Catch fuels in an approved container when removing the fuel line or fuel
system. Keep the fuel lines and connections tight and in good condition. Do not replace flexible fuel lines
with rigid lines and use flexible sections to avoid fuel line breakage caused by vibrations.
Keep the compartment and the genset clean and free of debris to minimize the risk of fire.
Servicing the air cleaner. A sudden backfire can cause severe injury or death.
Do not operate the genset with the air cleaner/silencer removed.
Combustible materials. A fire can cause severe injury or death.
Genset fuels, fuel vapors and combustible materials are flammable and explosive. Handle these
materials carefully to minimize the risk of fire or explosion. Equip the compartment or nearby area with
a fully charged fire extinguisher.

8
In case of fire do not open sound shield compartment and follow these instructions:
1. Shut down genset(s)
2. Continuously discharge entire contents of a halon or CO2portable fire extinguisher (or other
provision) immediately.
There are some aspects that you must
consider:
Obligations:
Operator Manual of genset. Read and
understand it before operating and
servicing the genset to ensure that you
follow safe operating practices and
maintenance procedures.
Grounding electrical equipment. Connect
genset to earth connection.
Hearing protection. Use it to avoid
hearing loss when you operate the
genset.
Fig. 2. Warning label. General precautions
Prohibitions:
Restricted Access. Only authorized personnel can access to genset space.
Do not burn garbage. It is necessary to offload the genset waste in a special place.
Do not smoke or permit flames or sparks to occur near sources of spilled fuel or fuel vapors.
Dangers:
Hazardous voltage. Operate the genset only when all guards and electrical enclosures are in place.
Before working on the genset disconnect it from the load by switching off the line circuit breaker.
Hot parts, coolant and steam. Stop the genset and allow it to cool before touching or removing any
genset part.
Moving parts. Keep hands, feet, hair, clothing and test leads away from the belts and pulleys when the
genset is running. Replace guards, screens and covers before operating the genset.
Before working on the genset or connected equipment, disable
the genset as follows:
(1) Set the genset controller (SCO 10) to OFF Mode.
(2) Disconnect the power input from battery.
(3) Disconnect the battery cables. Remove the negative (-)
lead first when disconnecting the battery. Reconnect the
negative (-) lead last when reconnecting the battery.
Follow these precautions to prevent the starting of the genset
by genset controller (SCO 10), remote start/stop switch, or
engine start command from a remote computer.

Rev. 3
Other WARNINGS (no adhesive label):
Carbon monoxide (CO) can cause severe nausea, fainting or death.
Genset exhaust contains carbon monoxide gas. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless, tasteless,
nonirritating gas that can cause death if inhaled for even a short time.
Get fresh air and do not sit, lie down or fall asleep if anyone shows signs of
carbon monoxide poisoning:
-Light-headedness, dizziness
-Physical fatigue, weakness in joints and muscles
-Sleepiness, mental fatigue, inability to concentrate or speak
clearly, blurred vision
-Stomachache, vomiting, nausea
Fig. 4. Warning. Carbon monoxide
Keep the area around the battery well ventilated. While the engine is running
or the battery is charging, hydrogen gas is produced which can be easily ignited.
Never allow battery fluid (battery contains sulfuric acid) to come in contact
with clothing, skin or eyes. Always wear safety gloves and protective clothing
when servicing the battery. If battery fluid contacts the eyes and/or skin,
immediately flush the affected area with a large amount of clean water and
obtain prompt medical treatment.
Fig. 5. Warning. Battery charging
Never remove the cooler cap if the engine is hot. Steam and hot engine coolant
will spurt out and seriously burn you. Allow the engine to cool down before you
attempt to remove the cooler cap.
Fig. 6. Warning. Hot engine
CAUTION
If the genset does not start after 3 crank attempts an overcrank fault occurs:
1) Close the seacock
2) Drain the water from the exhaust system at the
waterlock completely
3) Do not try to restart genset until the cause of
start fail is identified
Fig. 7. Caution label. Overcrank consequences

10
Do not use the cabin of the genset as a
step.
Using it as a step can cause the cabin
damage and, moreover, standing on the
genset could impair its operation.
Fig. 8. Caution label. Not a step
NOTICE
1. The installer / operator of the genset has to wear suitable CLOTHING for the workplace and the
situation; in particular, avoid loose clothes, chains, bracelets, rings and all accessories that
could become entangled with moving parts.
2. The installer / operator of the genset has to wear personal protective equipment such as
gloves, work shoes, eye and hearing protection as required by the task.
3. The area in which the operator is working has to be kept tidy and free of oil and other liquid
spillages and solid waste (metal chips, etc.).

Section 2 Transport, Handling and Storage
2.1 Receipt
When the genset is delivered make sure that the packing has not been damaged during
transport and that it has not been tampered with or that components inside the packing have been
removed (see information marked on covers, bases and cartons).
Place the packed genset as close as possible to the place of installation and remove the packing
material, checking that the goods supplied correspond to the order specifications.
NOTICE
If you notice damage or missing parts, inform SOLÉ S.A. after-sales departments and the carrier
immediately and forward photographic evidence of the damage.
After inspecting the goods if you notice damage, write a reservation on the delivery note. Have
the carrier countersign the note and advise SOLÉ S.A., preferably by mail ([e-mail]).
2.2 Transporting and Handling the Packed Genset
When lifting and transporting the genset use EXCLUSIVELY a forklift or bridge crane of
appropriate load capacity, with chains equipped with safety hooks suitable for lifting the load.
The use of any other system automatically invalidates the insurance guarantee against possible
damage to the genset.
To unpack the genset, you must follow these steps:
1. Remove the cardboard crate.
2. Lift the genset using a forklift and suitable chains, which hook to the genset eyebolts.
3. Transfer the genset to the intended position of installation.
4. Remove the wooden base.
5. Begin installation operations.
