 When handling lithium batteries, do not place them upside down, tilt them, or bump
them against the ground.
 Keep the battery loop disconnected during installation and maintenance.
 When the ambient temperature is lower than the lower limit of the operating temperature,
do not charge the battery (0°C Charging is not allowed). Otherwise, a short circuit occurs
inside the battery.
 Do not throw a lithium battery in fire.
 When maintenance is complete, return the waste lithium battery to the maintenance
office.
1.7 PV Module Safety

Before installing, operating, and maintaining photovoltaic (PV) modules, read the instructions
provided by the PV module vendor. The safety precautions specified in this document are
highly important precautions that require special attention. For additional safety precautions,
see the instructions provided by the PV module vendor.
 Before installation and maintenance, put on a safety helmet, goggles, insulation gloves,
and protective clothing to avoid personal injury.
 Before installing and maintaining PV modules, cover all PV modules totally using opaque
materials to avoid electric shocks caused by generated currents.
 Never focus sunlight on PV modules using a mirror or lens, because this may damage PV
modules and cause personal injury.
 When moving PV modules, do not hold connection boxes or power cables, because they
are not designed to support the weight of PV modules.
 Exercise caution when moving PV modules to avoid collision. Improper movement and
placement may cause the glass plates on PV modules to break and lose electrical
performance, which renders the PV modules useless.
 In strong wind, do not install PV modules at heights.
 To install or maintain a high support, you must set up a support platform and use a safety
helmet or safety belt.
 Do not drill holes in, step on, or place heavy objects on PV modules, because these
actions may damage PV modules.
 At least two persons are required to move and install PV modules. Only the aluminum
frame of the PV modules can be raised. Exerting force on the front or rear surface of the
PV modules using your head is prohibited. This may cause hidden cracks in the PV
modules.

1.8 DG Safety
1.8.1 Basic Requirements
To ensure safe and reliable operating of equipment, properly maintain and service the
equipment. The only way to avoid personal injury and damage to equipment is strictly
following operation rules and safety regulations.
 Before installing, operating, and maintaining a diesel generator (DG), read the
instructions provided by the DG vendor. The safety precautions specified in this
document are highly important precautions that require special attention. For additional
safety precautions, see the instructions provided by the DG vendor.
 The DG is used only for purposes specified by the manufacturer. When the DG is used
for other purposes, you must obtain prior approval from Huawei even if the operation
does not violate safety regulations.
 Ground the DG properly. Lock all electric panels. Use insulated tools to check and repair
electric devices. Avoid electric shocks in wet environments.
 Follow all electrical regulations. Only qualified personnel are allowed to install, check,
and repair electric parts of equipment.
 Do not operate the DG before reading and understanding the instructions and warnings
provided by the DG vendor. Otherwise, personal injury may occur.
 Before performing installation or maintenance, put on a safety helmet, goggles, and other
protective equipment to avoid personal injury.
 During installation and maintenance, strictly follow the instructions provided by the DG
vendor to avoid burns, explosions, and fire.
 Take off your ID card and jewelry before installation and maintenance. Tie your hair and
put them in your hat to protect them from being twisted into high-speed moving
components (such as a fan or drive bearing), avoiding personal injury or death.
 Keep sparks, open flame, and any other flammable objects away from the DG.
 Changing original components or using non-original components without authorization is
prohibited. Otherwise, safety may be endangered.
1.8.2 Fire Prevention

 Metal objects can result in short circuits, which may cause fire.
 Keep the engine clean because excessive oil stains may cause engine overheat, which
leads to fire and damage to equipment.
 Place multiple dry powder or CO2 fire extinguishers besides the DG.
1.8.3 Transportation Precautions

Requirements Before Transportation
 Survey the site and design a transportation scheme to ensure smooth transportation.

 Check that all required tools and lifting devices are available and functional.
Overloading is forbidden.
 Check for sharp objects such as nails and remove or trim them if necessary to avoid
personal injury.
 Clean and repair the passages for transportation.
 Determine the manpower and work division if multiple people need to operate together.
 Take protective measures such as wearing the protective gloves, shoes, goggles, and
safety helmet.
Requirements During Transportation

 Strictly follow the transportation scheme. If the scheme cannot be followed during actual
operation, promptly communicate with the scheme designers.
 To move an object by hand, approach to the object, squat down, lift the object gently and
stably by the force of the legs instead of your back. Do not lift it suddenly or turn your
body around.
 If multiple people work together to lift a heavy object, ensure that the weight is equally
distributed and borne by shoulders (preferably with a tool). Keep a distance of one arm
between people and ensure that people of different heights are properly arranged.
 Transport a heavy object stably with balanced force, move at a low and even speed, and
put down the object stably and slowly to avoid damaging the object.
 When transferring a heavy object, move your feet instead of turning your waist around.
When lifting and transferring a heavy object, ensure that your feet point to the target
direction of movement.
 Do not quickly lift a heavy object above your waist. Place the object on a workbench that
is half-waist high or any other appropriate place, adjust the positions of your palms, and
then lift it.
 When moving a heavy object, be aware of the workbench, slope, staircase, and slippery
places. When moving a heavy object through a door, ensure that the door is wide enough
to move the object and avoid bumping or injury.
 If two people or more move a heavy object together, ensure that the object is moved at a
uniform pace and is lifted and landed simultaneously under the supervision of one
person.
 For other transportation requirements, refer to the requirements for moving heavy
objects.
1.8.4 Operating Safety

 Do not use the DG in places with explosives.
 Keep non-professionals away from a DG in operation.
 Loose clothes, hair, and falling tools can cause serious personal injuries and device
damage.
 For a DG in operation, its exposed pipes and components are at high temperatures. Avoid
touching them to prevent burns.
1.8.5 Precautions Before Maintenance

 Wear protective gloves and goggles before performing the following operations:
− Add fuel.

− Add or replace all engine oil and coolant. Contact with hot engine oil and coolant
may cause serious scalds. Therefore, replace engine oil and coolant after their
temperatures drop below 60°C.
− Use compressed air. (The maximum air pressure for cleaning is 2 kg/cm2).
 Wear a helmet and keep people far away from the equipment during hoisting.
 Wear the safety shoes and union suit. Never wear a wet union suit.
 Maintain equipment only after checking that the mains supply is disconnected. If you are
not sure whether the mains supply is disconnected, contact professionals.
