8 Storage of the light tower
8.1 Storage
– Store the light tower horizontally in a dry, frost-
free room which is well ventilated.
– Run the engine regularly, e.g. once a week, until it
is warmed up. This will ensure that the machine
remains operational and is ready to be used when
needed. If this is impossible, extra precautions
must be taken:
• Consult the engine’s operator manual.
• Remove the battery. Store it in a dry, frost-free
room. Keep the battery clean and its terminals
lightly covered with petroleum jelly. Recharge
the battery regularly.
• Clean the light tower and protect all electrical
components against moisture.
• Place silica gel bags, VCI paper (Volatile
Corrosion Inhibitor) or another drying agent
inside the light tower and close the doors.
• Stick sheets of VCI paper with adhesive tape
on the bodywork to close off all openings.
• Wrap the light tower, except the bottom, with
a protective tarpaulin to avoid possible
damage and corrosion due to environmental
conditions.
8.2 Preparing for operation after
storage
Before operating the light tower again, remove the
wrapping, VCI paper and silica gel bags and check the
light tower thoroughly (go through the checklist
“Before starting” on page 27).
– Consult the engine’s operator manual.
– Check that the insulation resistance of the
alternator exceeds 5 MΩ.
– Replace the fuel filter and fill the fuel tank. Vent
the fuel system.
– Reinstall and connect the battery, if necessary
after being recharged.
– Submit the light tower to a test run.
