Introduction

The two-stage turbocharging system (Power2) manufactured by ABB Turbo Systems is state
of the art and complies with the respective health and safety standards in effect at the time the
system was built. Thus Power2 is safe to operate. Nevertheless, there may be some residual
risks during operation of the Power2 and work on Power2 components, such as low-pressure
stage and high-pressure stage, which:
 Are caused by Power2 itself or its accessories.
 Are caused by the operating equipment used or supplies and materials.
 Are a consequence of insufficient compliance with safety instructions.
 Are a consequence of insufficient or inappropriate performance of maintenance and in-
spection work.
The operating company is responsible for defining measures that regulate safe access to and
safe handling of the Power2.
All instructions contained in this chapter must be observed for safe and trouble-free operation
of the Power2 and during all work on the Power2 components.
All further safety instructions contained and specifically identified in every chapter of this doc-
ument (see section Definition of safety instructions) must also be observed.
Information
Low-pressure and high-pressure stages from ABB Turbo Systems comply with the Machinery
Directive 2006/42/EC and are partly completed machinery as defined by Article 2 g.
Responsibility of the operating company
In awareness of its responsibility, the operating company must ensure that only authorised
personnel work on the Power2, who:
 Are versed in the general and locally applicable regulations for occupational safety and
accident prevention
 Are equipped with the prescribed personal protective equipment
 Have read and understood the Operation Manual
 Have been instructed in the use of the Power2.
The safety-conscious work of the personnel and adherence to the Operation Manual must be

tion.
Only authorised personnel may remain in the vicinity of the Power2 when the engine is run-
ning.
