• Before installing or servicing this (and related) equipment, make sure that all power voltage supplies are positively turned off at their source. Failure to do so will result in hazardous and possibly fatal electrical shock. • Connecting this unit to an electrical system normally supplied by an electric utility shall be by means of a transfer switch so as to isolate the genrator electric system from the utility electric system while in operation. Failure to isolate the two electric system power sources from each other by such means will result in damage to the generator and may also result in injury or death to utility power workers due to backfeed of electrical energy. • Generators installed with an automatically transfer switch will crank and start automatically when normal (utility) source voltage is removed or is below an acceptable preset level. To prevent such automatic start-up and possible injury to personnel, disable the generator’s automatic start circuit (battery cables, etc.) before working on or around the unit. Then, place a “Do Not Operate” tag on the generator control panel and on the transfer switch. • In case of accident caused by electric shock, immediately shut down the source of electrical power. If this is not possible, attempt to free the victim from the live conductor. AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a nonconducting implement, such as a rope or board, to free the victim from the live conductor. If the victim is unconscious, apply first aid and get immediate medical help. • Never wear jewelry when working on this equipment. Jewelry can conduct electricity resulting in electric shock, or may get caught in moving components causing injury. FIRE HAZARDS • Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator at all times. DO NOT use any carbon tetra-chloride type extinguisher. Its fumes are toxic, and the liquid can deteriorate wiring insulation. Keep the extinguisher properly charged and be familiar with its use. If there are any questions pertaining to fire extinguishers, consult the local fire department. EXPLOSION HAZARDS • Properly ventilate any room or building housing the generator to prevent build-up of explosive gas. • Do not smoke around the generator. Wipe up any fuel or oil spills immediately. Ensure that no combustible materials are left in the generator compartment, or on or near the generator, as FIRE or EXPLOSION may result. Keep the area surrounding the generator clean and free from debris. • Generac generator sets may operate using one of several types of fuels. All fuel types are potentially FLAMMABLE and/or EXPLOSIVE and should be handled with care. Comply with all laws regulating the storage and handling of fuels. Inspect the unit’s fuel system frequently and correct any leaks immediately. Fuel supply lines must be properly installed, purged and leak tested according to applicable fuel- gas codes before placing this equipment into service. • Diesel fuels are highly FLAMMABLE. Gaseous fluids such as natural gas and liquid propane (LP) gas are extremely EXPLOSIVE. Natural gas is lighter than air, and LP gas is heavier than air; install leak detectors accordingly. Generac® Power Systems, Inc. 3 Section 1 — General Information Guardian Liquid-cooled 40 kW Generator 1.1 UNPACKING/INSPECTION After unpacking, carefully inspect the contents for damage. • This standby generator set has been factory installed in an all-weather, metal enclosure that is intended exclusively for outdoor installation. If this generator is used to power electrical load circuits normally powered by a utility power source, code requires to install a transfer switch. The transfer switch must effectively isolate the electrical system from the utility distribution system when the generator is operating (NEC 701). Failure to isolate an electrical system by such means will result in damage to the generator and also may result in injury or death to utility power workers due to backfeed of electrical energy. If any loss or damage is noted at time of delivery, have the person(s) making the delivery note all damage on the freight bill or affix his or her signature under the consignor's memo of loss or damage. If there is loss or damage after delivery, separate the damaged materials and contact the carrier for claim procedures. “Concealed damage” is understood to mean damage to the contents of a package that is not in evidence at the time of delivery, but is discovered later. . 1.1.1 LIFTING THE GENERATOR ! When lifting or hoisting equipment is used, be careful not to touch overhead power lines. The generator’s weight of more than 2,000 pounds requires proper tools and equipment, and qualified personnel to be used in all phases of handling and unpacking. 1.2 THE GENERATOR This liquid-cooled, Guardian generator set is designed to supply electrical power to operate critical electrical loads during utility power failure. Use this generator as a source of electrical power for the operation of 120 and/or 240-volt...
