Safety During Transport And Installation - Atlas Copco HiLight E2 Manuel D'instructions

1.3 Safety during transport and
installation
To lift a unit, all loose or pivoting parts, e.g. doors and
tow bar, shall first be securely fastened.
Do not attach cables, chains or ropes directly to the
lifting eye; apply a crane hook or lifting shackle meeting
local safety regulations. Never allow sharp bends in
lifting cables, chains or ropes.
Helicopter lifting is not allowed.
Lifting acceleration and deceleration shall be kept within
safe limits.
1. If a unit is to be backed up by a towing vehicle,
disengage the overrun brake mechanism (if it is
not an automatic mechanism).
2. In case of transporting a non-trailer unit on a
truck, fasten it to the truck by attaching straps via
fork lift holes, via the holes in the frame at the
front and back or via the lifting beam. To prevent
damage, never put straps on the roof surface of the
unit.
3. To lift heavy parts, a hoist of ample capacity,
tested and approved according to local safety
regulations, shall be used.
4. Lifting hooks, eyes, shackles, etc., shall never be
bent and shall only have stress in line with their
design load axis. The capacity of a lifting device
diminishes when the lifting force is applied at an
angle to its load axis.
5. For maximum safety and efficiency of the lifting
apparatus all lifting members shall be applied as
near to perpendicular as possible. If required, a
lifting beam shall be applied between hoist and
load.
6. Never leave a load hanging on a hoist.
7. A hoist has to be installed in such a way that the
object will be lifted perpendicular. If that is not
possible, the necessary precautions must be taken
to prevent load-swinging, e.g. by using two hoists,
each at approximately the same angle not
exceeding 30° from the vertical.
8. Locate the unit at least 1 meter away from walls.
9. Light towers shall be stalled on an even, solid
floor, in a clean location with sufficient
ventilation. If the floor is not level or can vary in
inclination, consult Atlas Copco.
10. The electrical connections shall correspond to
local codes. The machines shall be earthed and
protected against short circuits by fuses or circuit
breakers.
11. Never connect the light tower outlets to an
installation which is also connected to a public
mains.
12. Before connecting a load, switch off the
corresponding circuit breaker, and check whether
frequency, voltage, current and power factor
comply with the ratings of the light tower.

13. Before transportation of the unit, switch off all the
circuit breakers.
