or
t and set-up
The use of extension cables is permitted. However, in accordance with ISO 8528-8 the
loop impedance (total resistance) must not exceed 1.5 Ω as the sum of all connected
cables. The maximum permitted cable length is therefore obtained from the core cross
section of the extension cable used. It is essential to adhere to the following maximum
values for the extension cable length:
– Core cross section 1.5 mm
2
: Extension max. 60 m
– Core cross section 2.5 mm
2
: Extension max. 100 m
ATTENTION!
Use only tested extension cables.
The minimum requirement is for cables of the type
H07RN-F
that meet the
requirements for flexible extension cables in accordance with DIN VDE 57282
(part 810).
DANGER!
Electric shock
Danger of serious injury resulting in death
The genset must not be connected to the electrical system of a building or
used as an emergency power supply. Possible feedback into the public grid
can result in electric shocks at locations further away. A return of the main
power supply can cause a fire or explosion at the genset and result in more
damage.

Transport and set-up
Gensets do their job at many different locations. The requirements for safe transport and
proper set-up are just as varied. For these, refer to the information below.
4.1
Transporting gensets
DANGER!
Heavy loads
Danger of crushed body parts
The genset is itself a heavy load that can drop down or slide away if work is not
done properly.
¨
Wear personal safety clothing such as protective gloves and safety
footwear.
Transport is permitted only if the following requirements are met:
The genset is switched off and has cooled down sufficiently. The engine switch is in the
position
0
.
No consumers and extension cables are connected; the earth cable is disconnected.
The genset is properly secured to prevent transport damage, and is packed and tied
down accordingly if necessary.
