13 Troubleshooting
The following table is an aid for you to use in a case where faults arise
during use. Based on experience a number of malfunctions can already be
removed by operating personnel or the possible causes limited. In all other
cases contact your service partner as described in the table. The same ap-
plies for faults which are not listed in the table.
If a fault cannot be rectified using the measures described here, you must shut
down your Generators and secure it against further use. Contact your service
partner and give him an explanation, not only of the symptoms but also the pos-
sible causes which you can already exclude based upon the table. The fault can
often be identified over the telephone or through a written exchange with our spe-
cialists.

The following table does not make any claims to completeness and does
not mention any faults which can be caused by operating error.
