1.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This section outlines the safety
precautions applicable to the general use
of this lighting tower.
Throughout the Operation and Safety
section of this manual, cautions and
warnings are shown in BOLD TYPE.
These outline where special care is
required when undertaking the various
procedures outlined.
Safety precautions applicable to machine
service and maintenance are in the
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS section of the
Service and Maintenance Manual.
The user of this machine should read and
study this manual thoroughly to ensure
that all operating procedures are clearly
understood prior to accepting
responsibility.
1. Modifications or alterations to the
lighting tower are not permitted without
the prior written permission of the
manufacturer.
2. Failure to comply with the safety
precautions listed here and elsewhere
in the manual may result in injury or
death.
3. When moving the lighting tower by
forklift use the forklift tyne pockets
running through the LT3’s base. Ensure
that the forklift is rated to handle the
lighting tower prior to attempting the lift.
4. When lifting the lighting tower by
craning use the rated lifting point
provided on the lighting tower mast.
Ensure that the crane is rated to lift the
lighting tower prior to attempting the lift.
Refer to the diagrams and illustrations
shown elsewhere in this manual for
correct handling procedures using a
crane and forklift.
DO NOT POSITION THE LIGHTING
TOWER INSIDE THE PROHIBITED
(M.A.D.) ZONE. ASSUME ALL
ELECTRICAL PARTS AND WIRING
ARE ENERGISED UNLESS KNOWN
OTHEREWISE.
5. Maintain distance from electrical lines,
apparatus, or any energized (exposed or
insulated) parts according to the
Minimum Approach Distance (MAD) as
shown in Table 1-1.
6. Maintain a clearance of at least 3 m
(10.0 ft) between any part of the lighting
tower from any electrical line or
apparatus carrying up to 50 000 volts.
An additional clearance of 0.3 m (1.0 ft)
is required for each additional 30 000
volts or less of line voltage.
7. The minimum approach distance may
be reduced if insulating barriers are
installed to prevent contact, and the
barriers are rated for the voltage line
being guarded. These barriers shall not
be part of (or attached to) the machine.
The minimum approach distance shall
be reduced to a distance within the
designed working dimensions of the
insulating barrier.
8. A reduced minimum approach distance
shall be determined by a qualified
person in accordance with the
employer, local, or government
requirements for safe work practices
near energised equipment.
