Liability

ENERCON asks you to read the contents of these Operating Instructions - in particular chapter 2 "Safety Instructions" carefully and completely and to follow these instructions. Make yourself familiar with the contents because we do not accept any liability for damage caused by failure to comply with the instructions.

ENERCON reserves the right to change these Operating Instructions or to replace them by another manual at any time.

ATTENTION:

The first commissioning of the E-40 is carried out only by ENERCON personnel.

Upon commissioning, the owner or his representative are introduced to the operation of the turbine and the safety rules (e.g. climbing up to the nacelle) in theory and in practice by ENERCON personnel.

Before the official handing over of the wind energy converter, the owner is strictly forbidden to carry out any switching operations or to enter the WEC and the tower base.

NOTE:

The contents of these Operating Instructions refer to the standard version of the E-

40. Since, however, the basic principles of functioning and operation of the turbine are the same for all versions, this manual does not include any details on optional features.

In case you should find any information in these Operating Instructions which could be misleading, please let us know. We will try to clarify the problem at once and correct any mistakes in order to avoid operating mistakes. Please contact our

"Technical Writing" (Export) department.
