Important!

The following special warning symbols can be found in this manual and on the engine.

WARNING! Warns for the risk of personal injury, damage to property, or that a mechanical fault may occur if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT! Used to draw your attention to something that can cause damage or malfunctions of the product or material damage.

NOTE: Used to draw your attention to important information that will facilitate the work or operation in progress.

Below, there is a summary of the risks and safety measures that you must follow or perform when you install and calibrate the EMS 2 system.

The EMS system’s connectors must be disconnected before electric welding is performed. Disconnect the engine from the system voltage by shutting off the main switch.

Disconnect the connectors from the control unit. Reconnect the connectors to the EMS 2 control unit once the welding is completed and the welding equipment has been removed.

Be careful, be aware of the engine’s moving parts during the functional check and when running the engine. There is a risk for personal injury when approaching a running engine. Remember that loose clothing and long hair can fasten in rotating parts and cause serious injury.

Never work on an engine that is hanging from lifting gear (a crane or similar).

The engine shall not be operated in areas where there are explosive materials or gases.

Only start the engine if the ventilation is satisfactory. If the engine is operated in an enclosed area, you must ensure that there is sufficient ventilation to remove the exhaust gases and crankcase fumes from the workplace.

The battery box shall never be exposed to open flames or electrical sparks. Never smoke close to the batteries. The batteries generate hydro-gen gas during charging, which can mix with air and form an explosive mixture. This gas is highly inflammable and explosive. Incorrect connection of the batteries can cause sparks that in turn can ignite an explosion with resulting dam-age. Do not change the battery connections when you try to start the engine (risk for sparks) and do not lean over the batteries. Refer to the instructions in the engine operators manual.

Make sure that the positive (+) and negative (-) battery cables are correctly connected to the corresponding battery terminals. You can cause serious damage to the electrical equipment if the cables are mixed up. Refer to the wiring diagram in the engine operators manual.

Always wear eye protection when you charge or handle the batteries. The battery electrolyte contains sulphuric acid which is highly corrosive. If the electrolyte comes into contact with bare skin, wash immediately with large quantities of clean water and soap. Then seek medical attention. If you get battery electrolyte in your eyes, immediately shower (preferably with an eye shower) with large quantities of clean water. Then seek immediate medical attention.
