5 Lifting equipment shall be installed in such a way
that the object is lifted perpendicularly.If this is not
done, the necessary precautionsshall be taken to avoid
load swing, for example, using a pair of lifting pieces
of equipment, places approximately at the same angle,
not farther than 30 degrees from the vertical position.
6 Position the machine away from walls.Take all
necessary precautions to ensure that the air coming
from the engine hot air outlets and transmission
cooling systems is not reused.The circulation of this
air may lead to machine overheating; allowing the
entry of this air into the combustion zone will reduce
engine power.
7 Generators shall be placed on a clean and solid surface,
in a clean and ventilated location.If the floor is not
leveled or the inclination is not regular, Atlas Copco
shall be consulted.
8 Electric wiring shall comply with local codes. The
machine shall have grounding connections and shall
be protected by fuses or circuit breakers.
9 Before connecting a load, open the main circuit breaker
and check whether the frequency, voltage, current and
power to be obtained correspond to the generator
specifications.
10 Before transporting the unit, disconnect all the circuit
breakers.
Safety standards during
transportation and installation
In order to lift the machine, all loose or articulated parts,
for example, doors and towing bar, should be properly
fastened.
Do not connect cables, chains or ropes directly to the
hanging bracket, use a hook or other type of support that
complies with local safety regulations.Never bend sharply
cables, chains or suspension ropes.
Lifting by helicopter is not allowed.
It is strictly forbidden to circulate in the danger zone
beneath a suspended load.Never lift the machine above
persons or residential areas.The load lifting acceleration
and deceleration must comply with the safety limits.
1 To lift heavy parts, a large capacity support tested and
approved according to local regulations should be used.
2 Suspension hooks and brackets, etc., should never be
bent and pressure should only be applied on their
loading axle.The capacity of the suspension device
decreases when the suspension force is exerted in an
angle to the axis of loading.
3 For maximum safety and effectiveness of the suspension
mechanism, all suspension members should be as
close as possible to the perpendicular position. If
necessary, a bar should be placed between the support
and the load.
4 Never leave a load when it is suspended.
