6.2 LIGHTING TOWER
One might well say that thanks to the simple nature of the system and to the
quality of the materials used during the manufacturing process, the tower itself
does not actually require exhaustive maintenance.
Be that as it may, we should perform the following operations:
1. Regular cleaning of the machine is recommended in order to prevent any
deposits of dirt that could compromise its efciency. The frequency of this
operation depends on its place of use.
2. To lubricate the pulleys use the grease recommended for low temperature and
very high speed applications. It is recommended to use SKF LGLT 2 grease, a top
quality lithium soap product with a 100 % synthetic base oil. If using another
lubricant, this must still be characterised by a base oil viscosity of 18 mm²/s
at 40°C and 4.5 mm²/s at 100°C.
3. To grease the telescopic columns, use a WD40 type lubricant spray. Apply the
spray to the metal parts to facilitate the sliding of the various sections during the
operations to raise and lower the tower. In case of frequent use, carry out this
operation every three months.
4. Were a halogen bulb to blow, we recommend you use gloves or a cloth when
replacing it.
5. Do not touch the bulbs directly with your ngers.
6. If the lighting tower is working in a damp, dusty place, it must be cleaned and
dried frequently.
7. To change or check the battery, access through the right side of the lighting
tower.
