4.2 MANOEUVRING
4.2.1 Use sufficient persons and equipment to control the lighting tower when
manoeuvring. Never manoeuvre with the mast raised. Prior to raising
mast check for overhead obstructions and in particularly overhead
electric power lines.
Please consult HSE Guidance Note GS 6, Avoidance of danger from
overhead electric power lines. This provides guidance to the user on
safe working practice when working on sites where overhead electric
power lines may be present. The information within this publication
should be adhered to at all times.
Please note that the Telelight is fitted with an audible warning system
which will automatically be activated when the mast is being raised or
lowered.
The warning system also interacts with the park brake, should the park
brake be released, to inadvertently move the Telelight whilst the mast is
deployed, the audible alarm will sound and the mast will automatically
lower. Beware of mast movement.
4.3 MAXIMUM WIND SPEEDS
Never raise the mast or allow it to remain elevated in wind speeds in
excess of 100 kph (60mph).
4.4 EARTH REQUIREMENTS
The Telelight should be earthed. Use a ground earthing spike driven into
the ground to a minimum depth of 0.5 meter and connect with a suitable
cable to the trailer earth connector. An earth spike of minimum 10 mm
diameter and a 10 sq.mm copper cable is supplied with the unit.
Ensure a good earth is achieved either by utilising this earthing rod
or other suitable means.
4.5 MINATURE CIRCUIT BREAKERS (MCB’s)
These are incorporated in the control panel to protect both lamp and
external socket outlets, they are switched manually.
4.6 STARTING THE ENGINE
4.6.1 Ensure MCB’s are switched off when starting and stopping the engine,
failure to do so could damage the alternator.
4.6.2 If, having started the engine, you intend to use the power supplied by the
alternator you should earth the lighting tower unit as at 4.4 above.
4.6.4 Follow the starting procedure on the ‘Operator’s Instruction Label
4.6.3 Check fuel, oil and coolant, if appropriate, as per the instructions in the
engine manufacturer’s handbook.
