LIGHTSOURCE V9
Materials
The following substances may be produced during the operation of
this machine:
. brake lining dust
. engine exhaust fumes
AVOID INHALATION
Ensure that adequate ventilation of the cooling system and exhaust
gases is maintained at all times.
The following substances are used in the manufacture of this
machine and may be hazardous to health if used incorrectly:
. engine lubricant
. preservative grease
. rust preventative
. diesel fuel
. battery electrolyte
AVOID INGESTION, SKIN CONTACT AND INHALATION OF
FUMES
Safety data sheets for engine lubricants should be obtained from the
lubricant supplier.
Never operate the engine of this machine inside a building without
adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing exhaust fumes when working on
or near the machine.
This machine may include such materials as oil, diesel fuel,
antifreeze, brake fluid, oil/air filters and batteries which may require
proper disposal when performing maintenance and service tasks.
Contact local authorities for proper disposal of these materials.
When recycling or disposing of any electrical components, light
bulbs etc., do not mix with general waste.
There is a separate collection system for used electronic products
in accordance with legislation that requires proper treatment, recovery
and recycling.
Please contact your local authorities for the correct method of
disposal or recycling.
Battery
A battery contains sulphuric acid and can give off gases which are
corrosive and potentially explosive. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and
clothing. In case of contact, flush area immediately with water.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SLAVE START A FROZEN BATTERY
SINCE THIS MAY CAUSE IT TO EXPLODE.
Exercise extreme caution when using booster battery. To jump
battery, connect ends of one booster cable to the positive (+) terminal
of each battery. Connect one end of other cable to the negative ( − )
terminal of the booster battery and other end to a ground connection
away from dead battery (to avoid a spark occurring near any explosive
gases that may be present). After starting unit, always disconnect
cables in reverse order.
Radiator
Hot engine coolant and steam can cause injury. Ensure that the
radiator filler cap is removed with due care and attention.
Do not remove the pressure cap from a HOT radiator. Allow radiator
to cool down before removing pressure cap.
Generator sets
The generator set is designed for safety in use. However, the
responsibility for safe operation rests with those who install, use and
maintain it. The following safety precautions are offered as a guide,
which, if conscientiously followed, will minimise the possibility of
accidents throughout the useful life of this equipment.
Emergency Stop Controls
Important Note: − In addition to the key operated emergency stop
control on the main control panel, a second control is provided at the
socket control panel in the event of electrical hazards associated with
generator operation. Use this second control to immediately isolate all
electrical power to all sockets, then use the key control to stop the
engine.
Operation of the generator must be in accordance with recognised
electrical codes and local health and safety codes.
The generator set should be operated by those who have been
trained in its use and delegated to do so, and who have read and
understand the operator’s manual. Failure to follow the instructions,
procedures and safety precautions in the manual may increase the
possibility of accidents and injuries.
Do not start the generator set unless it is safe to do so. Do not
attempt to operate the generator set with a known unsafe condition. Fit
a danger notice to the generator set and render it inoperative by
disconnecting the battery and disconnecting all ungrounded
conductors so others who may not know of the unsafe condition will not
attempt to operate it until the condition is corrected.
An earth point is provided beneath the socket outlets.
The generator set should only be used with the earth point
connected directly to the general earth/ground mass. An earth spike kit
is available as an optional extra for this purpose (refer to the parts
catalogue ).
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE MACHINE UNLESS IT HAS
BEEN SUITABLY EARTHED.
Generator sets must be connected to the load only by trained and
qualified electricians who have been delegated to do so, and when
required by applicable regulations, their work should be inspected, and
accepted by the inspection agency having authority, prior to attempting
to operate the generator set.
Do not make contact with electrically energised parts of the
generator set and/or interconnecting cables or conductors with any
part of the body or with any non − insulated conductive object.
Make sure the generator set is effectively grounded in accordance
with all applicable Regulations prior to attempting to make or break load
connections and prior to attempting operation.
Prior to attempting to make or break electrical connections at the
generator set, stop the engine, disconnect the battery and disconnect
and lock out the ungrounded conductors at the load end.
Keep all parts of the body and any hand − held tools or other
conductive objects, away from exposed live parts of the generator set
engine electrical system. Maintain dry footing, stand on insulating
surfaces and do not contact any other portion of the generator set when
making adjustments or repairs to exposed live parts of the generator
set engine electrical system.
Replace the generator set terminal compartment cover as soon as
connections have been made or broken. Do not operate the generator
set without the terminal cover secured firmly in place.
