SAFETY RULES
GENERATING SETS - LIGHTING TOWERS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DURING HANDLING AND TRAN-
SPORTATION
• Before moving a lighting tower lower the telescopic mast
and block properly all movable parts such as the access do-
ors, the mast, the outriggers, the floodlights.
• Check the fastening of the wheels of the trolley.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DURING INSTALLATION AND
USE
• Make sure the area above the lighting tower is free from
overhead cables or other obstacles.
• Before raising the mast extract the outriggers located at
the sides of the machine. Acting on the outriggers level the
lighting tower making use of the bubble, so as to bring the
equipment in a horizontal position. Make sure that the to-
wer rests securely on the outriggers. If the lighting tower is
mounted on road trailer pull the handbrake.
• Do not operate the lighting tower if the wind speed exceeds
the safe speed indicated or if it is expected the arrival of
storms or thunderstorms in the area.
• Lower the telescopic mast when the tower is not used.
• Always check the good condition of the power cable before
connecting the lighting tower to the generating set.
• Do not touch and do not place objects on the lamps during
operation or immediately after use. The lamps become very
hot.
• Do not turn on the lamps without the protective glass or with
the same broken or damaged.
• Make sure all the ropes and the manual winch are in perfect
condition.
• Place the lighting tower in order to avoid that the winch can
receive shocks which may cause damage to the automatic
brake.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DURING MAINTENANCE
• Turn off the generating set or unplug the power cable before
carrying out any type of maintenance on the lighting tower.
• Always cut off power to the lamps and wait for their cooling
before performing any maintenance or replacement.
• Before carrying out any type of maintenance or repairs on
the generating set refer to the manual of the generating set
and the other manuals supplied.
ATTENTION
The lighting towers is designed to be used with a generating
set or with a fixed mass on its base. The weight and positio
-
ning of the generating set on the base are essential for the
safety of the lighting tower.
Failure to comply with this provision causes a serious danger
of tipping or instability during operation and during handling
with site tow If necessary, contact the service.
