SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR
KOHLER
GAS ENGINES
1/8
1.
INTRODUCTION
All
Kohler
engines have been designed in accordance with European Machinery Safety Regulations,
European Directive 2006/42/EC and the harmonised standards UNE-EN ISO 12100-1 and UNE-EN ISO 12100-
2.
Accordingly, we supply them with the EC Declaration of Conformity and «CE» mark.
The intention has been to supply an intrinsically-safe engine, although the nature of this machine does not rule
out the possibility of potential risks, for which it is necessary to adopt certain safety precautions.
The aim of this document is to inform the users of
Kohler
equipment on the safety precautions which are
required for handling and operating it adequately.
Engine installations and specially fuel-powered engines must be adapted in all cases to the local regulations.
2.
PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS
We recommend you to read these safety precaution instructions on receiving your
Kohler
engine. They are
part of the engine operation and maintenance manual we supply with each engine.
Therefore, we recommend that the manual be kept in perfect condition and readily available to the operator and
those responsible for engine maintenance.
Our Network of Repair Shops is at your disposal to carry out revisions and repairs under the best conditions
and in accordance with the standards established by
Kohler
.
The use of original spare parts ensures high performance over long periods of operation. These parts have
been manufactured with the same strict quality controls, which were used for the manufacture of the original
equipment.
3.
BODILY PROTECTION
CAUTION
Wear approved bodily, sight, hearing and respiratory protection. Never wear loose clothing, jewellery or long
hair around the engine.
4. EXHAUST GASES
CAUTION
IC engine exhaust products are toxic and may cause injury or death if inhaled. All engine installations must have
an exhaust discharge pipe so that the exhaust gases are delivered into the outside air. A closed building or
shelter must be adequately vented to provide a steady supply of fresh air.
