SAFETY SUMMARY

1.1 General Safety Notices

Installation and servicing of Genset equipment can be hazardous due to system belts, radiator fan, and electrical

components. Only trained and qualified service personnel should install, repair, or service Genset equipment.

When working on Genset equipment, observe all potential Danger, Warning and Caution hazards, including those
