Ensure that all of the safety signs are legible. Clean the safety signs or replace the safety signs if the words cannot be read or if the pictures are not visible. When the safety signs are cleaned, use a cloth, water, and soap. Do not use solvent, gasoline, or other harsh chemicals to clean the safety signs. Solvents, gasoline, or harsh chemicals could loosen the adhesive that secures the safety signs. The safety signs that are loosened could drop off the generator set package.
Replace any damaged safety signs or missing safety signs. If a safety sign is attached to a part of the generator set package that is replaced, install a new safety sign on the replacement part. Any Cat dealer can provide new safety signs.

Do not connect generator to a utility electrical distribution system unless it is isolated from the system. Electrical feedback into the distribution system can occur and could cause personal injury or death. Open and secure main distribution system switch, or if the connection is permanent, install a double throw transfer switch to prevent electrical feedback. Some generators are specifically approved by a utility to run in parallel with the distribution system and isolation may not be required. Always check with your utility as to the applicable circumstances. |
