How to Reduce the Risk When Using Volvo Diesel Generators

Oct. 11, 2021

Like any complex machinery, Volvo diesel generators have many risks and potential safety hazards. When you know how to reduce risks and dangers, operating your diesel generator set will save you a lot of headaches. Not to mention the many problems that may arise. The following are how to reduce the 6 common risks that may occur when using diesel generators introduced by the diesel generator manufacturer Dingbo Power:

 

1. Towing risk.

 

Without adequate preparation and care, towing diesel generators may cause personal injury or damage the diesel generator set. Not only will it harm the operator of the diesel generator, it will also harm other people nearby. When towing a diesel generator, you must be diligent before towing.For example, the tow bar connection should be checked to ensure that the steel ball is in place, the lock pin is in place, the chain is connected, and the idler is raised. In addition, the tail lights should be checked to ensure that the oil, brake lights and indicator lights are working properly. When not using the taillight, lift it off the ground. The driver of the traction diesel generator should also ensure that the brake cable is adjusted correctly to suit the load.

 

2 .may burn or get an electric shock.

 

Generators generally operate safely. However, incorrect use may cause unsafe consequences, such as burns or electric shocks. You must remember that generators produce a lot of energy, so they can cause damage. You must proceed with caution. There are three points to pay attention to when operating diesel generators to ensure your safety. First, make sure that a barrier is set up so that those who may not know what or how the diesel generator is running will not get injured by approaching the diesel generator.Ideally, they should be far away from work areas and places with many children. Secondly, before any inspection or adjustment of the diesel engine, it is necessary to make critical adjustments to it, and it must be determined to turn off the power, which will greatly reduce any risk of burns and electric shocks. Finally, use soil piles whenever possible. This will ground the machine to prevent accidental electric shock.

3. Fuel leakage causes fire or slipping hazard.

 

If you have a powerful diesel generator, you are unlikely to see leaking fuel. However, disasters do happen. Due to the characteristics of diesel, any leaked fuel may cause a potential fire outbreak or slip and fall by unknowing passers-by. The best way to reduce this risk is to educate operators to regulate operations and provide signs around diesel generators.The operator should be notified to check the machine every day for fuel and oil leakage. The diesel engine should be turned off before refueling, and the fuel cap should be closed after refueling. The operator can also ensure that the fuel is stored safely away from the generator set itself and any high temperature areas. For the operator, it is best to check the ground around the diesel generator every day and quickly clean up any spills. When near the diesel generator, make sure to wear sturdy shoes and take care to prevent slipping and tripping.

 

4. engine is hot.

 

Even if the diesel engine burns, it is unlikely, but this may be caused by the engine overheating. When approaching the diesel generator, the operator of the diesel generator must be vigilant when operating the machine. Any loose clothing should not be near the generator. Due to the complexity of the machine, carelessness may cause injury. Diesel generator operators may be beneficial to wear gloves when touching the machine or making any engine adjustments.

 

5 .Excessive noise.

 

If the noise of the diesel generator you buy may be too loud, it is important that the operator should develop appropriate procedures to check the noise level of each diesel generator during use to mitigate this risk. Here, you can determine whether the diesel generator or the room where the diesel generator is located requires sound processing. For diesel generators that produce loud noises under load, people close to the diesel generator must wear some form of hearing protection. If proper hearing protection is not prioritized, it can lead to long-term hearing loss.
