1.3 Manufacturer declaration in accordance with the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC
Manufacturer declaration in accordance with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
The generator was designed in such a way that all assemblies correspond with the CE guidelines. If Machinery
Directive 2006/42/EC is applied, then it is forbidden to start the generator until it has been ascertained that the
system into which the generator is to be integrated also complies with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. This
includes the exhaust system, cooling system and electrical installations.
The evaluation of “protection against contact“ must be carried out when installed, in conjunction with the respective
system. This also includes correct electrical connections, a safe ground wire connection, foreign body and humidity
protection, protection against moisture due to excessive condensation, as well as overheating through appropriate
and inappropriate use of the equipment in its installed state. The responsibility for implementing these measures lies
with those who undertake the installation of the generator in the final system.
