3.4.1 Validity
This manual contains information needed for the operation of the product.
This manual contains descriptions of special equipment as well as some
abstractions and exemplary illustrations. The actual equipping of your prod-
uct may therefore differ in part from the descriptions and illustrations.
3.4.2 Key to the symbols
To ensure readability and clarity, various paragraphs and information are
structured with symbols.
Meaning of the symbols:
► Operating instructions. Execute the operating instructions one after the
other in the order described.
Results of an action.
• Enumerations.
Further information on this topic.
Supplementary information.
Follow the supplementary documentation or supplier's documentation.
Key figures
Texts are illustrated with additional drawings, if required. An image legend
is provided below the illustration.
The reference from the text to a position in the illustration is established by
a set position number (e.g. S1).
The safety information warns the user of risks and informs them how these
risks can be avoided.
Safety information stands at the beginning of a chapter before handling in-
structions from which a dangerous situation can occur. Further safety infor-
mation is found at the start of this manual.
Safety instructions that must be followed without fail are highlighted as fol-
lows:
DANGER!
This symbol warns of an extremely dangerous situation, in which non-
observation of the danger warning will lead to death or serious irreversible
injury.

Intended use
4 Safety
4.1 Intended use
Improper use of the product can result in personal injury. Additionally, the
product or other material assets of value may be damaged.
Rosenbauer can warrant the safety, reliability and performance of its prod-
uct only if the product is used in accordance with the stipulations in this
manual.
Unauthorised changes, unauthorised conversions or improper operation
can detract from the intended use and result in personal injury or property
damage.
Firefighting products may be used only in a flawless technical condition by
qualified personnel for the following purposes:
• Implementation of technical assistance
• Rescue of people from emergencies
• Firefighting
Only manufacturer-authorised persons may perform modifications, conver-
sions and repairs. Unauthorised changes, unauthorised conversions or im-
proper use will nullify all manufacturer liability for resulting damages.
The power generator generates electrical energy for feeding into a mobile
distribution system as part of a network replacement operation. In order for
the generator to be used for the supply of stationary consumers (building
feed), the power generator and the system must have a corresponding
electrical installation.
The power generator must not be connected to other power distribution
(e.g. public power supply) and power generation systems (e.g. other power
generators) (grid-parallel operation). The power generator may only be
used outdoors within the specified limits for voltage, power and rated speed
(see type plate). In emergency situations, use on a vehicle or equipment ex-
tension or swivel/rotary compartment in the inserted or swivelled state is
also permitted if the equipment is supplied with fresh air through sufficiently
dimensioned air intake openings in the body and, in particular, the air flow
at the air intake and air exhaust openings is not impaired and heat accumu-
lation is avoided. The exhaust gases must be discharged into the open air.
4.2 Markings and warning signs
Safe use is only possible, if all necessary information for a safety operation
are observed. These informations are especially including safety- and
warning instructions.
In addition to the instructions in this operating manual read and observe all
the safety- and warning signs affixed to the product.
4.3 Other regulations
This product has been manufactured in accordance with the applicable reg-
ulations and the state of the art.

Safety
13 / 89
Other regulations
In addition to this manual the relevant national legislation, regulations and
directives in the latest version are to be observed (e.g. guidelines for per-
sonal protective equipment, road traffic regulations, country-specific train-
ing regulations for the fire department, accident prevention guidelines, fire
department duty regulations, occupational medicine and technical environ-
mental rules, country legislation for fire and disaster protection).

Training and qualifications
4.4 Training and qualifications
Operator errors caused by inadequate qualifications can cause serious ac-
cidents or endanger the success of the operation. Safe operations can be
assured only when operation and consistent maintenance of the product is
performed exclusively by specially trained personnel.
Only qualified training by experienced firefighting experts and continuous
practice of operating procedures ensure safe operations.
One-time instruction is not sufficient!
The product may only be operated by persons who have successfully com-
pleted appropriate firefighting training.
The operator is responsible for defining responsibilities and supervision of
personnel as well as for adequate instruction and training according to ap-
plicable regulations.
Even during operation, make sure that persons without technical knowl-
edge never operate the product.
Personnel must exhibit physical and mental aptitude. Minors and persons
without firefighting training may not operate the product.
Modifications and conversions to the product may be performed only with
written authorization from Rosenbauer and must be performed by a manu-
facturer-authorised person.

General safety instructions
4.5 General safety instructions
The following instructions give an overview of how the product is used safe-
ly. This general overview will be supplemented by the safety instructions in
the individual chapters.
Take note of general danger possibilities that could occur when handling
machines.
Use the prescribed personal protective equipment.
Make sure that the product corresponds to the respective valid safety reg-
ulations and the local fire departments guidelines and is always operation-
ally ready.
On contact with dangerous chemicals (e.g. dry powder) make sure that the
manufacturer's safety datasheets and information is followed.
Dry powder and foam compound can endanger the environment.
► Do not dispose of dry powder and foam compound in bodies of water
or in the sewage system.
Foam compound and dry powder in particular are very corrosive.
► Carefully clean the product of extinguishing agent residue after every
operation.
Should emergencies occur where people are injured, appropriate first aid
measures must be taken. If necessary, emergency personnel are to be
called to provide professional treatment.
Observe the operation and maintenance manuals of additional products.
If you cannot fix faults yourself or repairs could not be carried out by spe-
cially trained workshop personnel, Rosenbauer or the nearest Rosenbauer
service partner must be contacted immediately.
