BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1-3
Be careful of exhaust
fume poisoning
Operate the engine in a well-
ventilated area
If the engine is installed in an
enclosed area, and the exhaust
gas is ducted outside, ensure that
there is no exhaust gas leak from
duct joints.
When the engine is used for a
mobile generator set, never run the engine in an
enclosed area (such as a warehouse and tunnel), or
near the wall, structure, or equipment where the venti-
lation is bad. When the engine must be operated in an
enclosed area, provide sufficient ventilation, and dis-
charge exhaust gas to the outside. Make sure the
exhaust gas is not discharged directly to surrounding
buildings, plants or living passersby.
Exhaust gas from the engine contains carbon monox-
ide and other harmful substances. Operating the
engine in an ill-ventilated area can produce gas poi-
soning.
Protect ears from noises
Wear ear plugs
Always wear ear plugs when enter-
ing the machine room (engine
room). Combustion sound and
mechanical noise generated by the
engine can cause hearing prob-
lems.
Be careful of falling down
Lift engine carefully
To lift the engine, always use a
correct wire rope capable of with-
standing the engine weight.
Attach the wire rope to the lifting
hangers provided on the engine
using a correct sling.
During lifting process, keep the
engine in a well-balanced position by taking the center
of gravity of the engine into consideration.
Keep the angle formed by slings attached to hangers
within 60 degrees. If the angle exceeds this limit,
excessive load could be imposed on the hangers and
this could damage the hangers and result in a serious
accident.
If the wire rope contacts the engine directly, place a
cloth or other soft padding to avoid damage to the
engine and wire rope.
