2 GETTING STARTED
2.1 Storage
1. Cygnus HPG is designed to be used and stored outside. However, to
prevent unnecessary weathering it is recommended that the unit is
stored inside when possible.
2. It is recommended that the baery bank is charged regularly while in
storage. Refer to "3.2 Charging From An AC Supply" on page 21 for
further informaon.
3. The emergency stop should be engaged (pushed in) and output
protecon switches should be switched o when in storage and not
being charged to prevent unnecessary discharge of the baery bank.
2.2 Transporng, Liing & Posioning
This unit is considerably heavier than regular fuel powered
generators of similar physical dimensions. Be sure to double
check the capacity of liing equipment.
2.2.1 Transportaon
1. Cygnus HPG can be transported using its oponal trailer, light or heavy
goods vehicle with adequate available payload. Check the relevant
transportaon documentaon for suitability.
2. The gross weight of the unit can be found on the rang plate posioned
on the le hand side of the unit.
3. It is recommended that the unit is secured using suitable straps when
in transit to prevent it from moving.
2.2.2 Liing (Loading/Unloading)
1. Cygnus HPG must be loaded or unloaded using the correct equipment
operated by suitably trained personnel.
2. Using the fork pockets, Cygnus HPG can be loaded or unloaded with a
suitable fork-li truck or telehandler.
3. Cygnus HPG can be safely lied using its integral liing ring.

Page 9CYGHPG12-24-User-Manual-v1.6.indd
Always check the rang plate to ascertain the gross weight
of the unit.
The unit must remain upright at all mes.
2.2.3 Posioning
1. The unit must be posioned upright on a at, solid surface. Ensure that
the unit is not at risk from being submersed in water above the fork
pockets.
2. The unit should be posioned as close as possible to the chosen input
source (e.g. Gen. Set, solar array) and where necessary, close to its
earth point.
3. Ensure adequate space is allowed for venlaon on all sides and that
vents are not obstructed.
Refer to liing equipment’s operaon manual for liing
capacity and manufacturer’s operang instrucons.
