Hazardous Noise

CAUTION

Hazardous noise.

Can cause hearing loss.

Never operate the generator set

without a muffler or with a faulty

exhaust system.

Engine noise. Hazardous noise can

cause hearing loss. Generator sets

not equipped with sound enclosures

can produce noise levels greater than

105 dBA. Prolonged exposure to noise

levels greater than 85 dBA can cause

permanent hearing loss. Wear hearing

protection when near an operating

generator set.
