Safeguarding Against Malfunction - Kohler SFGLD480 Operation & Maintenance Manual

The instruction manuals include all necessary drawings and diagrams to install, operate, maintain and inspect
the machine and check it for correct operation, and make any repair, if needed, in addition to other
relevant recommendations, especially in relation to safety issues. Kohler has prepared the following manuals
in compliance with the Machinery Safety Directive:
- Installation Manual (installation and start-up).
- Operation and Maintenance Manual (maintenance, inspection, safety and correct operation testing).
- Spare Parts Manual (list of spare parts for the equipment).
- Mechanic's Manual (specialist inspection and repair of the equipment).
Catalogues and other documents used to present the machine are consistent with the instruction manuals as
regards safety. The Installation Manual provides assembly and installation recommendations to reduce noise
and vibration (dampers, foundations, etc). Data on the machine's airborne noise appear in the Instruction
Manuals.
Engines are installed according to a specific installation manual for each application. This manual includes:
- General engine dimensions drawing.
- Engine peripherals drawing (includes information for installing all the necessary peripherals for engine
operation - water, oil, fuel, exhaust, etc).
- Specific installation instructions for each peripheral.
Specific instructions for engine complements or optional and additional devices (not mandatory).
-
The operation and maintenance manuals for each engine are written so the operator has readily available
information for:
The identification of the machine and its components.
-
- Instructions for proper adjustment and start-up.
Operational instructions.
-
- Maintenance instructions (frequency of maintenance operations). These are of major importance as a
direct safety element to insure proper engine condition and operation.

5. SAFEGUARDING AGAINST MALFUNCTION

The monitoring and safety systems, that verify the engine operating condition through the measurement of its
major parameters, activate PREVENTIVE warning signals when current values exceed the predetermined
setpoints or immediately STOP THE ENGINE if the alarm threshold is reached.
In any event, in prevision of any potential monitoring system failure, all gas engines are fitted with a
communication and junction box connected to the electric control panels. This box, placed ON THE ENGINE,
includes an EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH for the deliberate and immediate stoppage of the engine.
In all cases there is also an engine-mounted EMERGENCY STOP LEVER which, once operated MANUALLY
and deliberately, blocks the air/gas supply to the engine immediately, causing the engine to stop at once.
