For your safety For your safety The following chapter describes basic Safety instructions for safe operation of your generator. Your device is a very high-performance electrical machine which is potentially dangerous when operated if it has not been installed, commis- sioned, used, serviced and repaired according to the operating manual.
Page 15
For your safety Warning of corrosive substances This warning symbol indicates activities where a risk of chemical burns to the en- vironment as well as people exists, possibly with lethal consequences. Warning of environmentally damaging substances This warning symbol indicates activities where a risk of contaminating the envi- ronment exists, possibly with catastrophic consequences.
Residual risks As a manufacturer of EU-compliant machines, ENDRESS make great ef- forts to create designs which already eliminate possible risk potentials at the design stage. If this is not possible without significantly impairing the functions of a device, we implement suitable protective measures protect the user from injury.
Page 17
For your safety danger. Exactly impress upon yourself the identification marking of the four different danger levels in order to be able to reliably assess the dan- gers associated with the individual operating states and action steps when reading the operating manual. DANGER! DANGER describes a danger which represents a high level of risk,which can lead to death or severe injuries,when not avoided.
Page 18
For your safety DANGER! Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous and partially invisible gases such as carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Risk of death due to poisoning or asphyxiation. ► Ensure that there is good ventilation during the whole period of operation. ►...
Page 19
For your safety WARNING! Escaping corrosive acid fumes or sulphuric acid during and after the charging process. A risk of suffering severe or even deadly burns. ► Only work with acid-resistant protective equipment. ► Clean surfaces covered in acid immediately using adequate amounts of wa- ter.
Page 20
For your safety NOTICE! Leaking engine oil and operating fluids can contaminate the soil and groundwater. ► Ensure that the generator is transported horizontally and mounted. ► Make all efforts, at all costs, to prevent escaping of operating fluids. ► Dispose of contaminated soil immediately and according to regulations. NOTICE! Use of wrong or outdated fuel damages or destroys the engine.
For your safety Authorised operating personnel – qualifications and obligations Your generators is a complex machine, the operation and maintenance of which requires exact knowledge of its functions and danger potentials. Therefore any work with or on the device, of any kind, may only be per- formed by authorised and instructed operating personnel.
For your safety Danger zones and work areas In order to be able to consider all of a machine's safety aspects and to com- ply with the safety and health protection requirements of the applicable standards and EU directives, we have assessed the use of your generators in all of the phases that it will go through during its product service life (product life cycle).
Checking the electrical safety Checking the electrical safety Checking of electrical safety requires different measures to be taken which may only be undertaken by respectively authorised personnel. In doing so the respective, pertinent VDE provisions, EN and DIN standards, in their re- spectively valid versions, must be observed.
Checking the electrical safety NOTICE! The operating company is responsible for establishing and observing the periods between testing. Above all one must ensure observance of the re- spectively valid national regulations. We recommend the following checks and deadlines as general guideline values: When What / how First start-up at the op-...

Commissioning Refuelling your generator Proceed as follows to the generator. Requirements The generator must be turned off The generator is cooled down There must be an adequate air supply and air removal All power consuming equipment must be disconnected or switched off DANGER! Leaking engine oil and fuel can burn or explode.
Commissioning Starting the generator This section describes how to start the generators for manual use, i.e. with consumers that are connected to the generators power sockets. The cold start device is designed to be either a hand choke or automatic choke, depending on the selected option.
Commissioning Starting the motor Fig. 7-2 Engine start on control panel Manual choke 1. Pull the choke lever out to the stop. 2. Turn the engine start switch to the right stop in the "START" position. The engine starts. 3. Release the engine start switch and it will spring back into the "ON" position. 4.
Commissioning NOTICE! Do not apply load to the generator immediately after a cold start. ► Allow the generator engine to warm up for a few minutes before switching on a load when the generator has not been operating for more than eight hours (or for very low external temperatures).
Commissioning Turn off your generator in the event of an EMER- GENCY Your generators is fitted with an EMERGENCY-STOP smash button, (this depends on the version) . It enables you to immediately switch the de- vice off in an EMERGENCY. CAUTION! The EMERGENCY-STOP smash button is only to be used in the event of a dangerous situation arising in an emergency.
