1.5.10 Implementation of safety inspections and maintenance
Disconnect the battery from the engine before performing service work. Affix a sign to the control
panel - both the main and the corresponding slave panel - with the instruction „ DO NOT START UP
- MAINTENANCE IN PROGRESS“ to prevent unintentional start-up.
To prevent sparking due to accidental short-circuiting, always remove the earthing cable (-) first and
reconnect it last. Do not start work until the generator and all fluids and exhaust system parts have
cooled down.
Use only suitable tooling and appliances and familiarise yourself with their functions to prevent
secondary damage and/or injury.
Always keep a fire extinguisher and a first aid box handy while performing maintenance work.
1.6 Warning and instruction signs
Keep warning and instruction signs clean and legible.
Clean the signs with water and soap and dry them with a soft cloth.
Immediately replace damaged or missing warning and instruction signs. This also applies to the installation of spare
parts.
1.6.1 Special instructions and hazards of generators
The electrical installations may only be carried out by trained and qualified personnel!
The generator must not be operated with the cover removed.
If the generator is being installed without a sound insulation capsule, it must be ensured that all
rotating parts (belt-pulley, belts etc.) are covered and protected so that there is no danger to life
and body!
If a sound insulation covering will be produced at the place of installation, then easily visible signs
must show that the generator must only be switched on while the capsule is closed.
All servicing, maintenance, or repair work may only be carried out when the motor is not running.
Electrical voltages above 48 volts (battery chargers greater than 36 volts) are always dangerous
to life. The rules of the respective regional authority must be adhered to during installation. For
safety reasons, only an electrician may carry out the installation of the electrical connections of
the generator.
