All the instrumentation for starting, running and stopping the sy-
stem shall be provided by the installer.
THE STARTING, RUNNING AND STOPPING OPERATIONS
MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY SKILLED PERSONNEL WHO HA-
VE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS MANUAL.
IMPORTANT :
When the system is set to work for the first time, which has to be
done at a reduced speed, the operator shall check that no anoma-
lous noises can be detected.
If an anomalous noise is detected, stop the system immediately
and improve the mechanical coupling.
Prior to approaching or touching the alternator, ensure that it is
not live and it is at room temperature; at this stage it is possible to
clean it on the outside using compressed air.
NEVER USE LIQUIDS OR WATER.
DO NOT CLEAN THE INSIDE ELECTRIC COMPONENTS WITH
COMPRESSED AIR, BECAUSE THIS MAY CAUSE SHORT-
CIRCUITS OR OTHER ANOMALIES.
For the lubrication of bearings, see table 23 on page 42.
The alternators series ECO-ECP are designed to give a long
maintenance free working life.
BEFORE PERFORMING THIS OPERATION, READ THE SAFE-
TY REQUIREMENTS AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS MANUAL
CAREFULLY.
Maintenance operations on Mecc Alte generators can be divided
into routine and extraordinary maintenance operations; in both
cases, all operations must be authorised by the safety represen-
tative and they must be carried out when the machine is turned
off and insulated from the electric installation or from the power
mains.
High qualified mechanical or electrical technicians must carry out
maintenance operations and any fault search since all operations
described hereunder could put personnel in serious danger.
It is also highly recommended to take all the necessary precau-
tions so as to prevent an inadvertent starting of the machine du-
ring maintenance and fault search operations..
