SAFETY INFORMATION
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
DANGER
The electrical voltage required to operate the generator
can cause severe injury or even death through physical
contact with live circuits. Turn generator and all circuit
breakers
OFF
before performing maintenance on the
generator.
NEVER
insert any objects into the output
receptacles during operation. This is
extremely dangerous. The possibility exists
of
electrical shock, electrocution or
death.
NEVER
operate light tower
or handle any electrical
equipment while standing in
water, while barefoot, while
hands are wet or in the rain.
A dangerous
electrical
shock
could occur, causing
severe bodily harm or
even death.
ALWAYS
make sure the
area above the light tower is
open and clear of overhead
power lines and other
obstructions. The tower
extends in excess of 25
feet (7.62 meters). Contact
with overhead power lines
or other obstructions
could result in equipment
damage,
electrical shock,
electrocution and even
death.
Similar to boom equipment
,
light tower may become
energized with high voltage.
DO NOT
operate the light
tower within a radial distance of 17 feet (5 meters)
from high voltage power lines. If light tower becomes
energized with high voltage, contact with the equipment
could result in equipment damage,
electrical shock,
electrocution and even death.
Backfeed to a utility system can cause
electrocution
and/or property damage.
NEVER
connect the generator
to a building’s electrical system without a transfer switch
or other approved device. All installations should be
performed by a
licensed electrician
in
accordance with all applicable laws and
electrical codes. Failure to do so could
result in electrical shock or burn,
causing
serious injury or even death.
Power Cord/Cable Safety
DANGER
NEVER
let power cords or cables
lay in water.
NEVER
use
damaged
or
worn
cables or cords when
connecting equipment to generator. Inspect for cuts in
the insulation.
NEVER
grab or touch a live power
cord or cable with wet hands. The
possibility exists of
electrical shock,
electrocution or death.
Make sure power cables are securely
connected. Incorrect connections may cause electrical
shock and damage to the light tower.
NOTICE
ALWAYS
make certain that proper power or extension
cord has been selected for the job.
Grounding Safety
DANGER
This light tower is equipped with a grounding terminal
at the base and right side of the Main Mast assembly.
Electrical grounding requirements can differ by State,
Province, District, Municipality, and unique application
settings.
For portable and vehicle-mounted generators, Multiquip
recognizes the guidance provided in NEC Handbook
Article 250.34 Parts A and B, and 29 CFR 1926.404
(f) (3) (i). If a more defi nitive earth-to-ground safeguard
is required, please consult a qualifi ed electrician and
reference appropriate National Electrical Code (NEC)
guidelines in establishing an exterior grounding point
NOTICE
There is a permanent conductor between generator
(stator winding) and the frame.
