aXis CONTROLLER HOME STANDBY GENERATOR IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Electrical Shock Hazards

WARNING

Use extreme caution when near the generator while it is

operating. The generator produces dangerous voltage.

–Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals and connections

while the generator is operating.

–ALWAYS stand on an insulated dry surface to reduce shock

hazard if work must be done on an operating generator.

–NEVER wear jewelry that can conduct electricity when

working on the generator.

–NEVER handle any kind of electrical device while hands or

feet are wet, while standing in water or while barefoot.

–Proper earth grounding of the frame and external electrical

conductive components is required by the National

Electrical Code (NEC). State and local codes for proper

grounding may also apply.

–Avoid direct contact with an electric shock victim.

Immediately shut down the source of electrical power. If

this is not possible, attempt to free the victim from the live

conductor using a nonconducting item such as a dry board

or rope. If the victim is unconscious, apply ﬁrst aid and call

911 immediately.

Fire/Explosion Hazards

WARNING

Natural Gas (NG) and Liqueﬁed Petroleum Gas (LPG) are

extremely explosive.

–NEVER allow any ﬂames or smoke near the fuel system.

–Wipe up any oil spills immediately.

–NEVER allow any combustible materials to be near the

generator or to be left in the generator compartment.

–ALWAYS keep the surrounding area near the generator

clean and free of debris.

–Be sure to properly purge the fuel lines and leak-test

according to applicable codes before placing the generator

in service.

–Be sure to regularly inspect the fuel system for leaks.

NEVER operate the generator if a fuel leak is present.

–Install a ﬁre extinguisher near the generator. Keep it

properly charged and be familiar with its use. An ABC

rated National Fire Protection extinguisher is appropriate

for use on standby electric systems. Contact your local

ﬁre department with any questions concerning the ﬁre

extinguisher.

Burn Hazards

WARNING

DO NOT touch hot surfaces.

–ALWAYS avoid contact with hot exhaust components and

gases. Running engines produce heat. Severe burns can

occur on contact.

–ALWAYS allow hot surfaces to cool to the touch.

Entanglement Hazards

WARNING

Use extreme caution when near rotating parts. Rotating parts

can entangle hands, feet, hair, clothing and/or accessories.

Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can result.

–Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.

or items that could become caught.

Battery Hazards

WARNING

Always read and comply with the battery

manufacturer’s recommendations for

procedures concerning proper battery use

and maintenance.

Batteries contain sulfuric acid and generate

explosive mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen

gases. Keep any device that may cause

sparks or ﬂames away from the battery to

prevent explosion.

Always wear protective glasses or goggles

and protective clothing when working with

batteries. You must follow the battery

manufacturer’s instructions on safety,

maintenance and installation procedures.
