1.3 Safety during transport and
installation
To lift a unit, all loose or pivoting parts, e.g. doors and
towbar, shall first be securely fastened.
Do not attach cables, chains or ropes directly to the
lifting eye; apply a crane hook or lifting shackle meeting
local safety regulations. Never allow sharp bends in
lifting cables, chains or ropes.
Helicopter lifting is not allowed.
It is strictly forbidden to dwell or stay in the risk zone
under a lifted load. Never lift the unit over people or
residential areas. Lifting acceleration and deceleration
shall be kept within safe limits.
1 If a unit is to be backed up by a towing vehicle,
disengage the overrun brake mechanism (if it is not
an automatic mechanism).
2 In case of transporting a non-trailer unit on a truck,
fasten it to the truck by attaching straps mainly via
the marked roof guides and additionally via the fork
lift holes, via the holes in the frame at the front and
back or via the lifting beam. To prevent damage,
never put straps on the roof surface of the unit.
3 To lift heavy parts, a hoist of ample capacity, tested
and approved according to local safety regulations,
shall be used.
4 Lifting hooks, eyes, shackles, etc., shall never be
bent and shall only have stress in line with their
design load axis. The capacity of a lifting device
diminishes when the lifting force is applied at an
angle to its load axis.
5 Lifting eye of the unit can only be used when the
environment temperature is between -20°C and
80°C.
6 For maximum safety and efficiency of the lifting
apparatus all lifting members shall be applied as
near to perpendicular as possible. If required, a
lifting beam shall be applied between hoist and
load.
7 Never leave a load hanging on a hoist.
8 A hoist has to be installed in such a way that the
object will be lifted perpendicular. If that is not
possible, the necessary precautions must be taken to
prevent load-swinging, e.g. by using two hoists,
each at approximately the same angle not exceeding
30° from the vertical.
9 Locate the unit at least 1 meter away from walls.
Take all precautions to ensure that hot air exhausted
from the engine and driven machine cooling
systems cannot be re-circulated. If such hot air is
taken in by the engine or driven machine cooling
fan, this may cause overheating of the unit; if taken
in for combustion, the engine power will be
reduced.
10 Light towers shall be stalled on an even, solid floor,
in a clean location with sufficient ventilation. If the
floor is not level or can vary in inclination, consult
Atlas Copco.
11 The electrical connections shall correspond to local
codes. The machines shall be earthed and protected
against short circuits by fuses or circuit breakers.
12 Never connect the light tower outlets to an
installation which is also connected to a public
mains.
13 Before connecting a load, switch off the
corresponding circuit breaker, and check whether
frequency, voltage, current and power factor
comply with the ratings of the light tower.
14 Before transportation of the unit, switch off all the
circuit breakers.
