- Safety Officer appointment Action: Joe will contact Martin.
- Alternate also
- We need a list of members willing to do this task. Action: Keith will draft email to members.
- The generator carburetor needs to be serviced.
- Gen. is in for carb. Adjustment 8/29/19 Done. John will look to see if an electric start option exists for the generator.
- Starter fluid should be included with the generator deployment package. (Where should that fluid be stored?) No (per John). Deleted.
- I suggest we mount it on the Gen. so it is always available . Ie. PVC. drop in cup also provide an easy access port to the air intake.
- A fire extinguisher be part of the generator deployment package Action: Dick will contact Rysavy
- Be sure the extinguisher is proper class. And at a safe distance when handling fuels.
- Type B type FIRE EXTINGUISHER should be used for propane fires if needed when conducting emergencies at the shack during the next testing.
- The shore power connection hardware should be improved/replaced. Connect and disconnect was much too difficult to accomplish on a good day, much less in adverse conditions.
- Post a drawing of the terminals on the face of the terminal box. Action: schedule connector test.
- The number of propane tanks / gallons of gasoline were not specified and should be predetermined, obtained and positioned based on anticipated load and duration expectations.
- Generate a table of minimum required fuel on hand, consumption rates, available sources, storage procedures. Action: compare Yamaha Gen Fuel Calc spreadsheet to actual during test.
- No discussion occurred concerning grounding of the generator. This is a potential safety concern, particularly during heavy wet weather conditions. Action: use romex (KI5US) and hose clamps (club)
- A ground rod is already in ground near terminal box. A proper cable and clamp should be kept with the yellow power cable.
- Recommend that emergency LED lighting be added to the plug strips under each operating location. Action: purchase is approved/purchase items. (KI5US)
- Discuss battery power vs 110vAC, under counter vs portable desk lamps or both.
- Recommend that plug strip cables be conspicuously labeled to minimize confusion during stressful conditions. Action: open / KI5US
- Laminate labels and place near the wall plug end of the cables.
- Recommend that flat power extension cord covers be used in the ops are to minimize trip hazards. Action: open / KI5US
- These are available, but consider storage deployment effort vs. overhead and over door cable runs.
- The location of the generator should be reviewed based on the probability of flooding due to heavy rain. Action: reassess at June 2020 test.
- Gen. can be placed on a riser, but vibration walking is a concern.
- Recommend that the generator be covered by a suitable, wind-resistant, water-proof cover to prevent premature generator failure. Action: defer this decision to post-test.
- A rain cover, ie. plastic tub should be obtained, And tried for fit. Tie downs should be provided.
- The feasibility of a remote generator stop should be considered for safety reasons.Action: defer this decision to post-test.
- An extension for the on board stop switch can be run into the club room through the power passthrough port.
- The feasibility of a remote generator stop should be considered for safety reasons. Action: defer this decision to post-test.
- An extension for the on board stop switch can be run into the club room through the power passthrough port.
