1-12. SAFETY, CARE, AND HANDLING
a.
Before operation. Do not operate the unit in an enclosed area unless the exhaust is piped to the outside. The
exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, deadly poisonous gas Do not smoke or use hydrogen, a highly
explosive gas. When filling the fuel tank, always maintain a metal-to-metal contact between the filling apparatus and the
fuel tank to prevent a static spark from igniting the diesel oil fumes.
b.
During operation. Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is operating, nor attempt to perform maintenance on
the centrifugal pump unit while it is in operation.
c.
After operation. Exercise extreme caution when performing any maintenance while the engine is hot. This may
result in serious burns to personnel. When filling the fuel tank, always maintain metal-to metal contact between the filling
apparatus and the fuel tank to prevent a static spark from igniting diesel oil fumes
