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 17
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.

Commissioning Low load diesel engine operation Internal combustion engines normally run most economically and environmental- ly friendly when they have reached their optimum operating temperature (with a coolant temperature from approx. 80°C). Prolonged operation well below the op- erating temperature or without a specific minimum load will have a negative effect on the service life.
Commissioning Turn off your generator in the event of an EMER- GENCY Your Generators is fitted with an EMERGENCY-STOP smash button . It enables you to immediately switch off the device in an EMERGENCY in or- der to prevent other dangerous situations from occurring. CAUTION! The EMERGENCY-STOP smash button is only to be used in the event of a dangerous situation arising in an emergency.
Commissioning Connection of power consuming equipment DANGER! Mortal danger due to an electric shock if live parts are touched. ► Never operate the device if it is in a damaged condition. ► Never operate the electrical consumers and connecting cable (power con- suming equipment) in a damaged condition.
