Transporting and preparing your generator
Choose the transport vehicle and lifting gear so that the generator can be moved
safely at all times according to its total mass (see Chapter 14 ). The unit's solid
base frame allows it to be lifted and transported by a forklift. Alternatively, loading
by crane is also possible after the crane eyes have been installed correctly.
Ensure that all of the power generator’s maintenance hatches and covers are se-
curely closed.
Conditions
The ground at the installation site must be even and be capable of bearing
the load.
The generator is turned off.
The generator has cooled down
DANGER!
Danger of severe or mortal injuries being incurred from falling loads.
► Never stand under or close to a suspended load, also not to provide assis-
tance.
► Ensure that there is no person in the area of swivel of the lifting device.
► Use all suitable measures to prevent the suspended load from swaying.
NOTICE!
Leaking engine oil and operating fluids can contaminate the soil and
groundwater.
► Ensure that the generator is transported horizontally and mounted.
► Make all efforts, at all costs, to prevent escaping of operating fluids.
► Dispose of contaminated soil immediately and according to regulations.
Transporting by lift-
ing forks
1. Align the lifting forks (e.g. forklift) with the position of the forklift pockets Fig.
off.
2. Insert the lifting forks as far as possible because of the machine’s heavy
weight.
3. Raise the power generator slowly and evenly.
4. Move the power generator slowly into its place of use.
5. Lower the device slowly and evenly.
6. Remove the lifting forks.
The unit has been transported and positioned at its work site.
Transport by crane
1. Screw the included crane lugs onto the top of the power generator (if they are
not already mounted).
2. To the crane loading lugs, fasten a lifting mechanism approved for the high
device weight.
3. Secure the lifting mechanism against falling out.
4. Raise the power generator slowly and evenly.
5. Move the power generator slowly into its place of use.
6. Lower the device slowly and evenly.
