1.2.Lifting and Handling
1.2.1.Using Slings
Use the lifting lugs located on the generator set, while you are trying to lift or move the generator set.
Before lifting the generator set, be sure that you have checked all the lifting lugs or any connection points for any
welding cracks, breakages, twists or rust that may cause any problem during the lifting process.
Make sure that all lifting equipment and supporting components are in a good condition, so that they can resist a
load 10% more than the gross weight of the generator set as a minimum (extra margin for any snow, ice, mud or
attached spare parts/equipment on set).
Make sure that all the lifting hooks or locks have functional safety clips and all of them are connected correctly.
Be sure to use guide ropes or equivalents in order to prevent any rotation or swing action, when the machine is
lifted and there is no contact left between the machine and the ground.
Do not try to lift the generator set if there is a strong blowing wind around.
Once the generator set is lifted, be careful about the people around and keep them at a safe distance.
Once the generator set is lifted, also be sure that the operator of the lifting machine is always ready to handle any
case of emergency.
Always be sure that the generator set is placed on a flat surface. This surface to be selected, has to be able to
resist a weight 10% more than the gross weight of the generator set. Also be sure that there is not any risk of
sliding, after you put down the generator set.
Before closing and locking the doors of the generator set, be sure that there is nobody left inside the canopy or
container.
