Service Safety
Poorly maintained equipment can become a safety hazard! In order for the equipment to operate safely and properly
over a long period of time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary. When servicing this
equipment always follow the instructions listed below.
NEVER perform even routine service (oil/filter changes, cleaning, etc.)
Before servicing this machine, make sure the engine start switch is turned to off "O", the circuit breakers
are open (off), the emergency stop switch is closed (pushed in), and the negative terminal on battery is
disconnected. Attach a "DO NOT START" sign to the control panel. This will notify everyone that the unit is being
serviced and will reduce the chance of someone inadvertently trying to start the unit. If the unit is connected to
a remote start or transfer switch, make sure the remote switch is also off and tagged.
The generator must be connected to a good earthen ground for proper operating safety!
A central "equipment ground" is provided at the customer connection lugs. This point is connected directly to the
generator set base. All other system grounds are connected to this central point. Ground the generator in
accordance with the standards defined in national, state and local regulations.
DO NOT attempt to open the radiator cap while the
unit is running or before the engine has cooled
down. Severe burns may result!
DO NOT allow water to accumulate around the base
of the generator set. If water is present, move the
generator and allow it to dry before servicing.
DO NOT service generator if clothing or skin is wet.
DO NOT allow untrained personnel to service this
equipment. Only trained electrical tech-nicians should
be allowed to service the electrical components of
this equipment.
DO NOT modify the equipment without ex-press
written approval from WACKER Corporation.
When cleaning the unit, DO NOT pressure wash
the control panel, generator end, or any other
electrical components. Never allow water to accu-
mulate around the base of the generator set. If
water is present, DO NOT service!
ALWAYS replace all guards and safety devices
immediately after servicing.
ALWAYS let engine cool before transporting or ser-
vicing.
