NOTE
It is mandatory to use all 4 lifting
points (2) set up on the oversized
tank: 2 from the controls side and 2 on
the opposite side. The main lifting
hook (1) must be used together with a
rocker arm (1), which keeps the lifting
chains at a distance to prevent them
from coming into contact with the
generator. Adjust the length of the
lifting chains in order to balance the
load and to minimise the angle
between them (chains as vertical as
possible).
4.1.2
Lifting the generator with
a forklift
NOTE
Machines with NO lifting rings can
ONLY be lifted by means of a forklift.
In such instances, it is PROHIBITED to
lift the machine in any other way.
Proceed as follows to lift the generator with a forklift:
•
Insert the forks of the forklift (
1
) under the base of
the generator (
2
), in line with the centre of gravity.
•
Make sure that the forks of the lifter support the
generator along its width as explained in the figure
(
3
).
•
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 position of the
forks according to the centre of gravity.
4.1.3
Transport and storage
Proceed as follows when transporting the generator:
•
The generator can ONLY be transported with fuel
on vehicles that are approved and certified to
transport equipment containing fuel. Otherwise,
empty the fuel tank completely before transporting
the generator.
•
Block the generator securely on the transport
vehicle with devices that are suitable for the
purpose, so as to avoid it moving or tipping over
while the vehicle moves.
•
When transporting the OPEN series generator on
an open vehicle, do not leave the generator exposed
to direct sunlight or the weather for long periods of
time. Protect it with sheets or other adequate
material.
•
When transporting the generator on a closed
vehicle, the temperatures inside the load
compartment could cause the liquids to evaporate,
thereby posing a risk of fire and explosion. Empty
the fuel tank IF the vehicle is not approved and
certified to transport fuel.
