2.1 GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•It is necessary before any use, to know how to stop the equipment
quickly in case of emergency, and fully understand the operation and
all the controls of your lighting tower.
•Carry out all the relevant checks of the gens-set and the tower, before
putting them into operation, in order to avoid possible accidents, both
personal and to the equipment itself.
•Never allow other people to use the lighting tower unless you have
previously given them the necessary instructions for its proper and
safe use.
•Do not allow its use to minors without the supervision of and adult
who is familiar with the use of the lighting tower.
•Avoid the access of children or pets to the operation area of the
lighting tower, to prevent, to the extent possible, that they may be
injured with any component of the equipment.
•Stop and disconnect the gen-set immediately, as soon as there is any
abnormal situation during operation. Identify and correct the problem
before starting it again.
•Make sure the correct location of the lighting tower on a surface
completely level and stable to ensure a proper operation and get a
perfect stability against the untimely action of the wind.

SAFETY REGULATIONS | PAG. 5
2.3 SAFETY AGAINST THE DANGER OF FIRE
•Always refuel the tank of the gen-set, in a ventilated area with the
engine completely switched off.
•Do not ll the fuel tank of the gen-set when it is running or with the
engine hot.
•Fill the fuel tank to a maximum 90% of its total capacity. Make sure
that the cap of the tank is perfectly closed.
•Check that no fuel has been spilt on the gen-set. If this happens, you
must clean it and let it dry well, before starting the equipment. The
leftover fuel could ignite.
•Diesel is ammable and its vapours explosive. It is forbidden to
spoke, use a naked ame or produce sparks while refuelling or using
the equipment.
•Do not place ammable objects or materials close to the engine
while running and refuel.
•Do not place anything on the air inlet /outlet area and on the exhaust
outlet as this could cause the overheating of the engine and may
create a re hazard.
•Do not place anything on the spotlight immediately after use,
because they come to reach very high temperatures.
2.4 SAFETY AGAINST BURNS
•Never touch the engine or the gen-set exhaust while is running or
some minutes after its stop, it can cause severe burns. Before
handling and maintenance service, let the engine cools down.
•Never touch the halogen lamps during 20-25minutes after its use,
can cause severe burns.
2.5 SAFETY IN THE TOWING
Towing a lighting tower requires care. Both trailer and vehicle must be in good
conditions, and securely fastened to reduce the possibility of accidents. Some
countries, requires the trailer be registered and licensed. Contact the Trafc
•Lower the mast if strong winds (more than 80km/h) or thunderstorms
are expected in the area.
•The tower extends up to 9m. Make sure area above it is open and
clear of overhead wires and obstructions.
•If for any reason any part of the mast hangs up or the winch cable
develops slack while raising or lowering the tower, STOP immediately
and contact with the Technical Department at HIMOINSA.
•Make sure that chains, hooks, ramps, jacks and any other type of
lifting devices are attached securely and have enough counterweight
to lift and hold the equipment safely. Remain aware of the position of
other people around you when lifting the mast.
•NEVER remove the safety lock or pull the locking pin while the mast
is up.
•NEVER adjust the mast when the unit is in operation.
•NEVER turn on the lights without the protection glass cover placed or
with a cracked or damaged glass.
IMPORTANT
Always put the support skids for achieving a secure and perfect stability of the
lighting tower with the help of the spirit level.
2.2 SAFETY AGAINST THE DANGER OF ELECTROCUTION
•Never handle the lighting tower and its gen-set with wet hands of feet.
If the tower is stored outside, check that the engine and alternator
are dry. Dry them if they are wet.
•Never touch bare wires or disconnections. Keep electrical wires and
connections in good condition.
•Always use the suitable plugs for the outlet bases provided on
the generator set. Never use zinc or cables without a plug or with
stripped ends. Introducing these cables directly into the outlet socket
could create a high risk of electrocution.
•As soon as you notice any cable in a poor condition, replace it and
make sure it is in perfect condition before switching on the lighting
tower again.

4.4 RAISING THE TOWER
The trailer must be levelled with the outriggers extended before raising the tower
mast and must remain extended while the tower is up. Failure to level the trailer or
extend the outriggers will severely reduce the stability of the unit and could allow
the tower to tip and fall.
Do not start the unit if the insulation on the electrical cord is cut or worn through.
Bare wires in contact with the mast or frame may energize the trailer and cause
electrocution. Repair or replace cord immediately.
IMPORTANT
In order to proceed with the raising of the mast it is essential to rst apply the
handbrake. If the handbrake is not engaged, for safety reasons, the mast will not
rise.
Fig. 7
•Check the mast cables for excessive wear and tear or damage. Check
the electrical cord for damage.
•Make sure the area behind the unit is clear before raising the mast to
the vertical position.
•Make sure the mast is in the locked position.

MAINTENANCE | PAGE 19
6. MAINTENANCE
6.1 GENSET MAINTENANCE
General maintenance (refer to the gen-set manual)
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 efciency. 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.

10. Hydraulic-oil unit.
•Check the hydraulic-oil unit and hydraulic oil level every 300 hours
or 3 months of work. Fill up with the same oil if necessary, always
eliminating any oil leakage that may exist.
•If the hydraulic cylinder rises unevenly or intermittently, check the
hydraulic oil level.
•Change of hydraulic oil every 2400 hours or 2 years of work or
when it loses its properties or in the case that it is contaminated by
another product.
•Each time the hydraulic oil change is performed, the lter is changed
and the tank cleaned.
•In the event that the electrovalve does not work or another problem
prevents the mast from descending automatically, this operation is
carried out by loosening the electrovalve screw. To lower the mast it is
important that the electro-valve screw is well tightened.
•Perform a revision of the hydraulic-oil unit if hydraulic oil is detected
on the ground.

8. Steel cables and pulley sets:
•Carry out periodic checks of the cables state, every 100hours or
once a month.
•When the steel cable decreases by 10% of the rated diameter due to
corrosion or abrasion, it must be replaced immediately.
•Check the cables. If a steel cable has broken, replace it as soon as
possible.
•If there is any manner of deformation (a loop, a knot or crushing),
replace the cable immediately.
•Important: always use the Steel cables indicated by the manufacturer
of the lighting tower (type 6x37 +1).
•Lubricate galvanized cables with oil when operating in high corrosion
conditions every 300hours or 3months.
9. Replacing the light bulbs and glasses.
The metal halide bulbs used in the column lights provide more powerful lighting
than ordinary halogen bulbs, for a lower consumption, with a very high service life
of approximately 8,000 hours.
Metal halide bulbs are discharge bulbs that operate using the emission of
electromagnetic rays by an ionized gas plasma. The gas is ionized using an
electric discharge (hence the name) through the gas itself.
Metal halide lamps are derived from high pressure sodium vapour lamps, with
additives (thallium, indium, dysprosium, holmium, caesium, thulium) which
improve the colour rendering of sodium lamps, giving them a very high colour
temperature (4,000-5,600 K). Their chromatic performance makes them
particularly useful when perfectly white light is required. They require special
igniters and injectors to light and these produce pulses of start-up voltage of
between 0.75 and 5 kV. During the lighting phase, it takes several minutes to
reach the maximum light output.
To replace the light bulb or glass, follow the procedure below:
•Unx the screw of the clamp (M5) with a star-shaped screwdriver and
place the clamp and the glass on a safe place.
•Replace the bulb or glass.
•Place the glass on the clamp and then both of these in the body of
the lamp. Check that the clamp has been set in place properly and
tighten the screw.
