The following table is an aid for you to use in a case where faults arise
during use. Based on experience a number of malfunctions can already be
removed by operating personnel or the possible causes limited. In all other
cases contact your service partner as described in the table. The same ap-
plies for faults which are not listed in the table.
If a fault cannot be removed using the remedies described, shut down your gen-
erator and secure it against further use. Contact your service partner and give
him an explanation, not only of the symptoms but also the possible causes which
you can already exclude based upon the table. In this way you are supporting the
diagnostic process so that the fault can often already be identified over the tele-
phone or through written exchange with our specialists.
NOTICE!
The following table does not make any claims to completeness and does
not mention any faults which can be caused by operating error.
► In order to avoid operating errors, please exactly follow the instructions in the
existing and delivered documentation.
