Generator
(WDG)
The generator set is designed for safety in use. However, the
responsibilityfor safe operation rests with those who install, use and
maintainit. The following safety precautions are offered as a guide,
which, if conscientiously followed, will minimise the possibility of
accidents throughout the useful life of this equipment.
Emergency Stop Controls
ImportantNote:– In addition to the key operated emergency stop
control on the main control panel, a second control is provided at the
socket control panel in the event of electrical hazards associated with
generator operation. Use this second control to immediately isolate all
electrical power to all sockets, then use the key control to stop the
engine.
Operationof the generator must be in accordance with recognised
electricalcodes and local health and safety codes.
The generator set should be operated by those who have been
trained in its use and delegated to do so, and who have read and
understandthe operator’s manual.
Failure to follow the instructions,
procedures and safety precautions in the manual may increase the
possibilityof accidents and injuries.
Do not start the generator set unless it is safe to do so. Do not
attemptto operate the generator set with a known unsafe condition. Fit
a danger notice to the generator set and render it inoperative by
disconnecting the battery and disconnecting all ungrounded
conductorsso others who may not know of the unsafe condition willnot
attemptto operate it until the condition is corrected.
An earth point is provided beneath the socket outlets.
The generator set should only be used with the earth point
connecteddirectly to the general earth/ground mass. An earth spike kit
is available as an optional extra for this purpose (refer to the
parts
catalogue
).
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE MACHINE UNLESS IT HAS
BEEN SUITABLY EARTHED.
Generator sets must be connected to the load only by trained and
qualifiedelectricians who have been delegated to do so, and when
requiredby applicable regulations, their work should be inspected, and
accepted by the inspection agency having authority, prior to attempting
to operate the generator set.
Do not make contact with electrically energised parts of the
generator set and/or interconnecting cables or conductors with any
part of the body or with any non–insulated conductive object.
Make sure the generator set is effectively grounded in accordance
with all applicable Regulations prior to attempting to make or break load
connectionsand prior to attempting operation.
Do not attempt to make or break electrical connections to generator
sets standing in water or on wet ground.
Prior to attempting to make or break electrical connections at the
generatorset, stop the engine, disconnect the battery and disconnect
and lock out the ungrounded conductors at the load end.
Keep all parts of the body and any hand–held tools or other
conductiveobjects, away from exposed live parts of the generator set
engine electrical system. Maintain dry footing, stand on insulating
surfacesand do not contact any other portion of the generator set when
makingadjustments or repairs to exposed live parts of the generator
set engine electrical system.
Replacethe generator set terminal compartment cover as soon as
connections have been made or broken. Do not operate the generator
set without the terminal cover secured firmly in place.
Close and lock all access doors when the generator set is left
unattended.
Do not use extinguishers intended for Class A or Class B fires on
electrical fires. Use only extinguishers suitable for class
BC
or class
ABC
fires.
Keep the towing vehicle or equipment carrier, generator set,
connectingcables, tools and all personnel at least 3 metres from all
powerlines and buried power cables, other than those connected to the
generatorset.
Attemptrepairs only in clean, dry, well lighted and ventilated areas.
Connect the generator set only to loads and/or electrical systems
thatare compatible with its electrical characteristics and that are within
it’s rated capacity.
Transport
When loading or transporting machines ensure that the specified
liftingand tie down points are used.
When loading or transporting machines ensure that the towing
vehicle, its size, weight, towing hitch and electrical supply are all
suitableto provide safe and stable towing at speeds either, up to the
legalmaximum for the country in which it is being towed or, as specified
for the machine model if lower than the legal maximum.
Where driver license restrictions apply, ensure that the maximum
trailerweight does not exceed 750kg (by limiting the equipment load).
Note:
Gross mass (on data plate) is for the basic machine and fuel only,
excluding any fitted options, tools, equipment and foreign materials.
Before starting the machine after installation, test the insulation
resistance of the windings. The automatic voltage regulator (AVR) if
fittedshould be disconnected and the rotating diodes either shorted out
with temporary links or disconnected. Any control wiring must also be
disconnected.
(WDG)
Before towing the machine, ensure that:–
. the tyres and towing hitch are in a serviceable condition.
. the canopy is secure.
. all ancillary equipment is stored in a safe and secure manner.
. the brakes and lights are functioning correctly and meet necessary
road traffic requirements.
. break-away cables/safety chains are connected to the towing
vehicle.
The machine must be towed in a level attitude in order to maintain
correct handling, braking and lighting functions. This can be achieved
by correct selection and adjustment of the vehicle towing hitch and, on
variableheight running gear, adjustment of the drawbar.
To ensure full braking efficiency, the front (towing eye) section must
always be set level.
When adjusting variable height running gear:–
. Ensure front (towing eye) section is set level
When raising towing eye, set rear joint first, then front joint.
