Manual

Contact with engine oil, antifreeze and fuel can result in damage
to health. Therefor:
• Avoid skin contact with engine oil, fuel and antifreeze.
• Remove oil and fuel splashes and antifreeze from the skin
immediately.
• Do not inhale oil and fuel vapours.
Danger for Life. Improper handling, operation, installation and
maintenance can result in severe personal injury and/or material
damage.
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. Only an electrician may carry out installation of the electrical
connections for safety reasons.
Generator, oil and antifreeze can be hot during/after operation.
Risk of severe burns.
During Installation/maintenance personal protective equipment
is required to minimize the health hazards.
• Protective clothing
• safety boots
• protective gloves
• Ear defender
• safety glasses
Disconnect all load during the work at the generator to avoid
damages at the load.
7.3 Overloading the Generator
Danger!: Danger of poisoning
ATTENTION!: Danger to Life - High voltage
Warning!: Hot surface/material
Generator Failure
Instruction!: Personal protective equipment necessary.
Attention!: Disconnect all load
Please ensure that the genset is not overloaded. This is especially the case with multi-power aggregates. Overloading
occurs when the electrical load (demand) induces a load torque in the generator which is higher than what
the diesel drive motor can provide. Overloading causes the engine to run rough, burn oil, create excessive exhaust
(environmentally unfriendly) and even to stall.
The generator should only be loaded at the peak rated power for short periods only! A high peak current is required
to start many electrical devices, especially electric motors and compressors (from a still stand state).
In order to prolong the gensets life expectancy, the nominal electrical demand on the system should not be more
than 70% of the rated genset power.
Bear this in mind when switching on electrical devices. This ensures a longer life expectancy.
Continuous performance is the uninterrupted running of the generator for many hours. The genset can be run for
several hours at partial load (i.e. 2/3 of rated power), however it is not advised that it is run for more than 2-3 hours
