GSW
4.1 Transport and positioning
WARNING
The following lifting, transport and
positioning operations must only be
carried out by specialised
personnel.
Always position the generator on a
flat, smooth and level surface.
NOTE
The lifting and transport procedures
describe
the procedures
implemented by the manufacturer
when the generator is shipped from
the factory. This information is
provided in this manual for when the
generator must be lifted and
transported to the place where it
will be installed the first time or if it
is transferred to a different place.
NOTE
The generator must be handled with
adequate lifting means for the mass
to be lifted and the environment in
which it is lifted. The exact weight
of the generator is shown on the
identification plate (see the
“identification plate” paragraph).
4.1.1 Lifting the generator with
adjustable chains
Proceed as follows to lift the generator with
adjustable chains:
• Hook the lifting chains ( 1 ) in the relative anchor
points ( 2 ) set up on the generator. The lifting anchor
point is indicated on the machine by the relative
information sticker.
• Move away and gradually lift the generator,
verifying that it is balanced with respect to the centre
of gravity. Otherwise, lower the load until it rests on
the floor of the transport vehicle and adjust the
length of the chains according to the centre of
gravity.
OPEN SET: 3 lifting points
NOTE
It is mandatory to use all three lifting
points (2) set up on the base on the
control side and on the opposite side.
The lifting hook must be positioned as
close as possible to the centre of the
generator's lifting points to keep it
from swaying when lifted. Adjust the
length of the lifting chains (1) to
balance the load, to reduce its stress
and so that none of the chains can
come into contact with the
components while the generator is
being moved.
