Storage of the light tower
8.1
Storage
– Store the light tower horizontally in a dry, frost-
free room which is well ventilated.
– If this is impossible, extra precautions must be
taken:
•
Clean the light tower and protect all electrical
components against moisture.
•
Place silica gel bags, VCI paper (Volatile
Corrosion Inhibitor) or another drying agent
inside the light tower and close the doors.
•
Stick sheets of VCI paper with adhesive tape
on the bodywork to close off all openings.
•
Wrap the light tower, except the bottom, with
a protective tarpaulin to avoid possible
damage and corrosion due to environmental
conditions.
8.2
Preparing for operation after
storage
Before operating the light tower again, remove the
wrapping, VCI paper and silica gel bags and check the
light tower thoroughly (go through the checklist
"Before starting" on page 25). Submit the light tower
to a test run.
