4 Never exceed the maximum towing speed of the
unit (mind the local regulations).
5 Place the unit on level ground and apply the parking
brake before disconnecting the unit from the towing
vehicle. Unclip the safety break-away cable or
safety chain. If the unit has no parking brake or
jockey wheel, immobilize the unit by placing
chocks in front of and/or behind the wheels. When
the towbar can be positioned vertically, the locking
device must be applied and kept in good order.
6 To lift heavy parts, a hoist of ample capacity, tested
and approved according to local safety regulations,
shall be used.
7 Lifting hooks, eyes, shackles, etc., shall never be
bent and shall only have stress in line with their
design load axis. The capacity of a lifting device
diminishes when the lifting force is applied at an
angle to its load axis.
8 For maximum safety and efficiency of the lifting
apparatus all lifting members shall be applied as
near to perpendicular as possible. If required, a
lifting beam shall be applied between hoist and
load.
9 Never leave a load hanging on a hoist.
10 A hoist has to be installed in such a way that the
object will be lifted perpendicular. If that is not
possible, the necessary precautions must be taken to
prevent load-swinging, e.g. by using two hoists,
each at approximately the same angle not exceeding
30° from the vertical.
11 Locate the unit away from walls. Take all
precautions to ensure that hot air exhausted from the
engine and driven machine cooling systems cannot
be recirculated. If such hot air is taken in by the
engine or driven machine cooling fan, this may
cause overheating of the unit; if taken in for
combustion, the engine power will be reduced.
12 Generators shall be stalled on an even, solid floor,
in a clean location with sufficient ventilation. If the
floor is not level or can vary in inclination, consult
Chicago Pneumatic.
13 The electrical connections shall correspond to local
codes. The machines shall be earthed and protected
against short circuits by fuses or circuit breakers.
14 Never connect the generator outlets to an
installation which is also connected to a public
mains.
15 Before connecting a load, switch off the
corresponding circuit breaker, and check whether
frequency, voltage, current and power factor
comply with the ratings of the generator.
Safety during use and operation
1 When the unit has to operate in a fire-hazardous
environment, each engine exhaust has to be
provided with a spark arrestor to trap incendiary
sparks.
2 The exhaust contains carbon monoxide which is a
lethal gas. When the unit is used in a confined
space, conduct the engine exhaust to the outside
atmosphere by a pipe of sufficient diameter; do this
in such a way that no extra back pressure is created
for the engine. If necessary, install an extractor.
Observe any existing local regulations.
Make sure that the unit has sufficient air intake for
operation. If necessary, install extra air intake ducts.
3 When operating in a dust-laden atmosphere, place
the unit so that dust is not carried towards it by the
wind. Operation in clean surroundings considerably
extends the intervals for cleaning the air intake
filters and the cores of the coolers.
4 Never remove a filler cap of the coolant system of a
hot engine. Wait until the engine has sufficiently
cooled down.
5 Never refill fuel while the unit is running, unless
otherwise stated in the Chicago Pneumatic
Instruction Book (AIB). Keep fuel away from hot
parts such as air outlet pipes or the engine exhaust.
Do not smoke when fuelling. When fuelling from
an automatic pump, an earthing cable should be
connected to the unit to discharge static electricity.
Never spill nor leave oil, fuel, coolant or cleansing
agent in or around the unit.
6 All doors shall be shut during operation so as not to
disturb the cooling air flow inside the bodywork
and/or render the silencing less effective. A door
should be kept open for a short period only e.g. for
inspection or adjustment.
7 Periodically carry out maintenance works according
to the maintenance schedule.
8 Stationary housing guards are provided on all
rotating or reciprocating parts not otherwise
protected and which may be hazardous to
personnel. Machinery shall never be put into
operation, when such guards have been removed,
before the guards are securely reinstalled.
9 Noise, even at reasonable levels, can cause irritation
and disturbance which, over a long period of time,
may cause severe injuries to the nervous system of
human beings.
When the sound pressure level, at any point where
personnel normally has to attend, is:
