1.5.5 Safe handling of fuels and lubricants<br />
General Instructions and Regulations<br />
Keep fuels and lubricants away from naked fire.<br />
Before filling up the tank and/or applying lubricant, always shut down the generator and secure it<br />
against accidental start-up.<br />
Do not smoke and avoid naked flame and sparking near fuels and the generator. Fuel is highly<br />
flammable and may explode under certain conditions.<br />
Refuel in well-ventilated open spaces only. If fuel/lubricant was spilled, eliminate fluids<br />
immediately.<br />
Do not mix diesel fuel with petrol or alcohol. Such a mixture can cause fire and will damage the<br />
generator.<br />
Use only approved fuel containers and tank systems. Old bottles and canisters are not adequate.<br />
1.5.6 Exhaust fumes and fire protection<br />
Engine fumes can be hazardous to your health if they accumulate. Ensure that the generator<br />
exhaust fumes are vented appropriately (leak-proof system), and that an adequate fresh air<br />
supply is available for the generator and the operator (forced ventilation).<br />
Check the system regularly for leakage and eliminate leaks as applicable.<br />
Exhaust gases and parts containing such fumes are very hot; they may cause burns under<br />
certain circumstances. Always keep flammable parts away from the generator and the exhaust<br />
system.<br />
To prevent fire, ensure that electrical connections are not short-circuited. Check regularly that all<br />
lines and cables are in good condition and that there is no chafing. Bare wires, open chafing spots,<br />
frayed insulation, and loose cable connections can cause dangerous electric shocks, short-circuit,<br />
and fire.<br />
The generator shall be integrated in the existing fire safety system by the operating company.<br />
