15 Safety shoes should be compulsory in any
workshop and if there is a risk, however small, of
falling objects, wearing of a safety helmet should be
included.
16 If there is a risk of inhaling hazardous gases, fumes
or dust, the respiratory organs must be protected and
depending on the nature of the hazard, so must the
eyes and skin.
17 Remember that where there is visible dust, the finer,
invisible particles will almost certainly be present
too; but the fact that no dust can be seen is not a
reliable indication that dangerous, invisible dust is
not present in the air.
18 Never operate the light tower in excess of its limits
as indicated in the technical specifications and
avoid long no-load sequences.
19 Never operate the light tower in a humid
atmosphere. Excessive moisture causes worsening
of the light tower insulation.
20 Do not open electrical cabinets, cubicles or other
equipment while voltage is supplied. If such cannot
be avoided, e.g. for measurements, tests or
adjustments, have the action carried out by a
qualified electrician only, with appropriate tools,
and ascertain that the required bodily protection
against electrical hazards is applied.
21 Never touch the power terminals during operation
of the machine.
22 Whenever an abnormal condition arises, e.g.
excessive vibration, noise, odour, etc., switch the
circuit breakers to OFF and stop the engine. Correct
the faulty condition before restarting.
23 Check the electric cables regularly. Damaged cables
and insufficient tightening of connections may
cause electric shocks. Whenever damaged wires or
dangerous conditions are observed, switch the
circuit breakers to OFF and stop the engine.
Replace the damaged wires or correct the dangerous
condition before restarting. Make sure that all
electric connections are securely tightened.
24 Avoid overloading the light tower. The light tower
is provided with circuit breakers for overload
protection. When a breaker has tripped, reduce the
concerned load before restarting.
25 Never remove the cover of the output terminals
during operation. Before connecting or
disconnecting wires, switch off the load and the
circuit breakers, stop the machine and make sure
that the machine cannot be started inadvertently or
there is any residual voltage on the power circuit.
26 Running the light tower at low load for long periods
will reduce the lifetime of the engine.
27 When operating the light tower in Remote or Auto
mode, observe all relevant local legislation.
28 When deploying the light tower mast, keep in mind
following safety precautions:
- Do not deploy the mast unless the machine is
standing on an even surface and the stabilizers
have been fully adjusted.
- Do not deploy the mast in the vicinity of
overhead power cables: DANGER OF
ELECTROCUTION.
- Make sure that nobody is standing too close to
the light tower when the mast is being deployed.
- Do not deploy the mast if the wind is stronger
than 80 Km/h.
