Maintenance of the alternator
The alternator does not require any specific general
maintenance. However, please follow the indications
in the User's Manual that accompanies the lighting
tower.
Lighting tower engine
Carefully follow all the instructions contained in the
User and Maintenance Manual that accompanies the
lighting tower.
Air cooling circuit
The cooling air follows the following path through
the lighting tower:
– The air enters the circuit through an opening
below the alternator (1)
– The air proceeds through the engine and alternator
compartment of the lighting tower (2).
– The air exits through the fan, engine cooler and
labyrinth, in that order (3).
Engine oil
– Check the engine oil level before every time that
the lighting tower is used. To do this you must
ensure that the machine stands on an even surface
and that the engine is not running.
– Make sure the oil level is between min (1) and
max (2) on the oil dipstick. Top up if necessary.
All information regarding the type of oil which is
recommended is to be found in the Use and
Maintenance Manual.
– Replace oil as often as instructed in the Use and
Maintenance Manual. Oil can be extracted using
the special oil extraction pump on the engine. By
activating the piston on the pump, oil will be
completely removed. You must place a receptacle
next to the engine to collect this waste oil.
Check every day that all the air
cooling circuits are not clogged with
dust or other particles. If any circuit
is obstructed, it must be cleaned.
