KEEP THIS MANUAL
This manual contains important instructions which must be followed when installing or carrying out maintenance on a generating set
or batteries.
1.3.1 General advice
Use
The operating and safety instructions must be made known to operating personnel. They will be regularly updated.
Read and understand the manuals provided with the generating set, pump unit or lighting column properly. The manufacturer's
instructions must remain at the disposal of technicians, if possible in situ.
The facility must be operated under the direct or indirect supervision of a person appointed by the operator, who is familiar with
the operation of the facility, and the dangers and drawbacks of the products used or stored in the facility.
Do not wear loose clothing, or get close to machines in operation. Note that the fans are not clearly visible when the engine is
running.
Warn personnel present to keep their distance during operation.
Do not run the generating set, pump unit or lighting column without refitting the protective covers and closing all the access
doors.
Never let a child touch the generating set, pump unit or lighting column, even when shut down.
Avoid operating the generating set, pump unit or lighting tower in the presence of animals (disturbance, scares, etc.).
Engage the parking brake when the generating set or lighting tower on its trailer is installed on the operating site. When
chocking the trailer on a slope; ensure that there is nobody in the path of the trailer.
Never start the engine without an air filter or exhaust.
Engine with turbocharger: never start the engine without fitting the air filter. The compressor wheel rotating inside the
turbocharger may cause serious bodily injury. Foreign objects in the inlet pipe may cause mechanical damage.
Engine with air preheating (starting components): never use a starting spray or any other similar starter assistance product.
Upon contact with the starting component, an explosion may occur in the inlet tube, causing bodily injury.
Do not touch the lighting column lights when they are switched on.
Maintenance
Follow the maintenance table and its instructions.
Always use tools in good condition which are suited to the work to be done. Ensure you have understood the instructions before
beginning any operation.
Goggles should be worn when carrying out maintenance operations and watches, bracelets etc. should be removed.
Fit only original parts.
Disconnect the battery and the pneumatic starter (if fitted) before undertaking any repairs, to prevent the engine from starting
accidentally. Fit a panel over the controls to prevent any attempt to start.
Only use the correct crankshaft turning techniques for turning the crankshaft manually. Do not try to turn the crankshaft by
pulling it or levering the fan. This method may cause serious bodily or material damage, or damage the vanes of the fan,
reducing the service life of the fan.
Clean off any trace of oil, fuel or coolant using a clean cloth.
Do not use a soapy solution containing either chlorine or ammonia, as these two chemicals prevent bubble formation.
Never use petrol or other inflammable substances to clean the parts. Use only approved cleaning solvents.
Do not use a high pressure cleaner for cleaning the engine and equipment. The radiator, hoses, electrical components, etc. may
be damaged.
Avoid accidental contact with parts at high temperatures (exhaust manifold, exhaust).
Before any maintenance operation on a lighting column light, cut the electrical power supply and wait for the bulbs to cool down.
Consumables
Observe regulations in force concerning use of fuel before using your generating set, pump unit or lighting tower.
Under no circumstances use seawater or any other corrosive or electrolytic product in the cooling circuit.
