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.

Attach a DO NOT OPERATE or similar warning tag to the start switch or controls before performing maintenance or repairing the engine. These tags, SEHS7332, are available from your Caterpillar dealer. When appropriate, attach the tags at the engine and at each operator's position. Disconnect starting controls when appropriate. Do not allow unauthorized personnel on, around or in the engine unit when it is being serviced.Diesel engine exhaust contains products of combustion which may be harmful to your health. Always start and operate the engine in a well ventilated area and, if in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the outside.Use caution when removing filler cap, grease fittings, pressure taps, breathers or drain plugs. Hold a rag over the cap or plug to prevent being sprayed or splashed by liquids under pressure.* Wear a hard hat, protective glasses, hearing protection and other protective equipment as required by job conditions.* Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can catch on controls or other parts of the engine.* Make certain all protective guards and covers are secured in place.* Use all cleaning solutions with care.* Never put maintenance fluids into glass containers since glass containers can break.* Report all needed repairs. UNLESS INSTRUCTED DIFFERENTLY, PERFORM ALL MAINTENANCE AS FOLLOWS:* Stop the engine.* Ensure the protective locks or controls are in the applied position.* Disconnect the batteries whenever performing any maintenance or before servicing the electrical system. If the engine has electric starters, disconnect and tape the battery ground leads to prevent accidental starting.* Do not attempt any repairs or adjustments to the engine or driven equipment while it is running.* Do not attempt repairs you do not understand. Use proper tools; replace or repair broken or damaged equipment.* When starting an engine after repairs have been made to the fuel system or governor, make provisions for shutting off the engine's intake air supply (to stop the engine), in case there is an overspeed on start-up.* Start the engine only from the operator's station. Never short across the starter terminals or the batteries as this could bypass the engine neutral-start system as well as damage the electrical system.
