Warning notices
The safety information warns the user of risk 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!

Intended use
4Safety
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.

DANGER!
Mortal danger or serious injury from electric shock!
Maintenance work on live parts may only be carried out by qualified
specialist personnel.
Observe the safety distance from voltage-carrying parts at all times.
Danger of fatal injury or health hazard due to inhalation of toxic
exhaust fumes!
Combustion engines working in enclosed areas build toxic exhaust fumes.
Is there the need of working in enclosed areas, obey following:
Extract the exhaust fumes outside using exhaust hoses.
Make sure for adequate ventilation.
WARNING!
Danger of injury and accidents!
Danger of injury and accidents due to malfunctioning or improper used
safety devices!

Warning notes
Danger of serious injury and damage due to explosion, fire and
chemical burns!
When charging vehicle batteries, a highly explosive electrolytic gas mixture
(hydrogen and oxygen) is released; it is easily flammable and may release
highly acidic battery acid.
Wear safety goggles whenever servicing a battery.
Follow safety instructions on the outside of the battery.
Do not smoke.
Avoid fire, open flame and sparks.
Avoid sparks when handling cables and electrical devices, and through
electrostatic discharge.
Do not connect the minus pole of the battery jumper cable near to the
discharged battery (generates sparks).
Always remove negative battery ground cables first and install them
last to avoid sparks.
The vehicles must not touch (sparks will occur on connecting the
positive poles).
Never short-circuit the battery.
Ventilate batteries thoroughly before any external start.
When connecting the connecting lead, do not bend over the battery.
Avoid skin and eye contact with any battery acid that escapes.
Keep unauthorized persons clear of the battery.
Ensure that the battery voltage matches.
Never disconnect the batteries while the engine is running.
Danger of explosion due to flammable fuel!
During work on the fuel system, fuel can ignite and cause potentially fatal
injuries.
Do not smoke.
Keep fuel away from open flame.
When handling fuel, always keep a fire extinguisher at hand.
Personal injuries and damage to property can occur due to a
restricted view of movable machine parts.
Do not linger in the danger zone.
Follow the training and operation manual.
Failure to wear proper protective gear could result in death or serious
injury.
Wear protective gear.
