sourcing and products design to improve
recyclability and diminish our footprint.
These instructions are for information
purposes only. It is the user responsibility to
comply with local legislation regarding
product disposal and recycling.

Recyclable materials
Our alternators are mainly built out of iron,
steel and copper materials, which can be
reclaimed for recycling purposes.
These materials can be reclaimed through a
combination of manual dismantling,
mechanical separation and melting
processes. Our technical support depar-
tment can provide detailed directions on
products dismounting upon request.

Waste & hazardous materials

The following components and materials
need a special treatment and need to be
separated from the alternator before the
recycling process:
- electronic materials found in the terminal
box, including the Automatic Voltage
Regulator (198), Current Transformers
(176), interference suppression module
(199) and other semi-conductors.
- diode Bridge (343) and Surge suppressor
(347), found on the alternator rotor.
- major plastic components, such as the
terminal box structure on some products.
These components are usually marked with
plastic type information.
All materials listed above need special
treatment to separate waste from
reclaimable material and should be handed
to specialized disposal companies.

Declares hereby that the electric generators of the types:

LSA40 - LSA42.3 - LSA44.2 - LSA44.3 - LSA46.2 - LSA46.3 - LSA47.2 - LSA49.1 - LSA49.3 - LSA50.1 -

TAL044, as well as their derivatives, manufactured by Leroy-Somer or on Leroy-Somer's behalf, comply with the
following International Standards and Directive:

- EN and IEC 60034-1, 60034-5 and 60034-22

- ISO 8528-3 Reciprocating internal combustion engine driven alternating current generating sets.
Part 3. Alternating current generators for generating sets
- Low Voltage Directive Nr 2014/35/UE dated 26 February 2014

Furthermore, these generators, designed in compliance with the Machine Directive Nr 2006/42, are therefore
able to be incorporated into Electrical Gen-Sets complying with the following International Directives:

- Machinery Directive Nr 2006/42/EC dated 17 May 2006

- EMC Directive Nr 2014/30/UE dated 26 February 2014, as intrinsic levels of emissions and immunity
are concerned

WARNING:

The here mentioned generators should not be commissioned until the corresponding Gen-Sets have been
declared in compliance with the Directives Nr 2006/42/EC and 2014/30/UE, as well as with the other relevant
Directives.

Leroy-Somer undertakes to transmit, in response to a reasoned request by the national authorities, relevant
information on the generator.
