4 Operating instructions
4.1 Before starting
– Perform all daily checks and maintenance as
specified in the “Maintenance schedule” on page
50.
– With the light tower standing level, check the
engine oil level and top up if necessary. The oil
level must be between the MIN and MAX levels
on the engine oil level dipstick.
– Check the fuel and coolant level and top up if
necessary. It is recommended to fill the fuel tank
after the day’s operation to prevent water vapour
in a nearly empty tank from condensing.
– Check the tightness of all bolts and nuts. For
torque values, see chapter “Critical bolt
connections”.
– Check that circuit breaker Q1 is switched off.
– Check that the fuses have not tripped and that the
emergency stop is in the OUT position.
– Check that the load is switched off.
4.2 Operating the light tower
In your own interest, always strictly
observe all relevant safety
instructions.
Do not operate the light tower in
excess of the limitations mentioned
in the Technical Specifications.
Local rules concerning the setting
up of low voltage power installations
(below 1000 V) must be respected
when connecting site distribution
panels, switch gear or loads to the
light tower generator.
At each start-up and at any time a
new load is connected, the earthing
and protections (GB trip and earth
leakage relay) of the light tower
must be verified. Earthing must be
done either by the earth pin or, if
available, by an existing, suitable
earthing installation. The protective
system against excessive contact
voltage is not effective unless a
suitable earthing is made.
Carefully read and follow in
sequence all the operating
instructions in the Engine's manual
as well as those contained in this
manual!
