Equipment should never be connected that in total exceeds the specified rating of the
Generator.
Installation of the generator as a standby or secondary power source should only be
undertaken by a fully qualified electrician using the appropriate means of isolation from
the mains supply. Installation must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
3.2 Operating Environment
The Generator should always be operated on level ground.
3.3 Temperature Range
A temperature range between -10˚C and +40˚C are the normal limits of operation.
Operating outside the range will require additional modifications.
3.4 Reference Relative Humidity
The standard reference condition for relative humidity is 30%. Above this value the rated
power must be reduced.
3.5 Reference Barometric Pressure
The standard reference condition for total barometric pressure is 1 bar.
This corresponds to an altitude of approximately 100m. Above 100m the rated power
must be reduced.
3.6 Flammable Environment
Stephill Generators must not be used in a flammable environment.
3.7 Saline Environment
Operation of the machine in a saline environment will require additional corrosion
protection.
4 Safety Considerations
4.1 General
All Stephill Generators comply with all the current EEC directives including:
2006/42/EC Machinery Directive
2000/14/EC Noise Emission in the Environment by Equipment for use Outdoors
2004/108/EC EMC Directive
2006/95/EC Low Voltage Directive
4.2 Fuel
Fuels and lubricants are a potential source of fire. Lubricants in particular used engine oil,
are potentially carcinogenic. Direct contact should always be avoided by wearing suitable
rubber gloves when handling them. Be careful not to spill fuel, clean up any spillages.
Inhalation or swallowing of Diesel should be avoided. If in doubt seek medical advice. All
other forms of contact are irritant and therefore should also be avoided. If skin contact is
made wash with soap and water.
4.3 Lubricating Oil
New oil presents no hazard following short term exposure.
Used oil should not be allowed to contact the skin. If this does occur, wash off quickly
with a proprietary hand cleanser.
4.4 Safe Lifting
Where mechanical assistance is used in lifting machines, ensure the lifting eye is used,
and that all components used to lift the machine are within their Safe Working Load
(SWL).
The integral lifting beam and associated lifting eye on the generator should be regularly
checked for signs of damage or gross corrosion.
All Nuts and Bolts associated with the lifting beam should be regularly checked for
tightness and corrosion.
Lifting equipment should not be attached directly to the Engine/Alternator except for lifting
of Engine/Alternator only.
