9.5.4.2 Operating procedure
General guidelines
1. Check the terrain where the lighting tower has to
be erected:
• Maximum allowable slope of the terrain: the
generator can be operated temporarily in an
out-of-level position not exceeding 15°.
• Absence of obstacles that could interfere with
the erection of the lighting tower: (e.g. high
voltage lines, constructions, …)
2. The lighting tower should never be left
unattended. When finishing activities on a site, the
lighting tower should be lowered to its resting
position.
3. Before moving the unit, ALWAYS lower the mast
(M) and secure it on the transport frame (TF).
4. Never move the generator while power supply
cables are connected to the unit.
Erection of the lighting tower
1. Positioning of the generator mounted on the light-
ing tower.
• Locate the rear-end of the generator upwind,
(see figure below), away from contaminated
wind-streams and walls. Avoid recirculation
of exhaust air from the engine. This causes
overheating and engine power decrease.
• Immobilize the generator by applying the
handbrake or support leg or using wheel
chocks in front of or behind the wheels.
• Position the generator mounted on the lighting
tower as level as possible by using the vertical
adjustment of the jockey wheel (or support
leg).
When the genset is mounted on a
lighting tower it is NOT permitted to
use the lifting eye for lifting of the
assembly. Instead use the 4 lifting
hooks (LH) situated at the corners of
the lighting tower undercarriage
(U). Ignoring these instructions may
lead to damage and personal injury !
