1.3
Safety during transport and
installation
To lift a unit, all loose or pivoting parts, e.g. doors and
towbar, shall first be securely fastened.
Do not attach cables, chains or ropes directly to the
lifting eye; apply a crane hook or lifting shackle meeting
local safety regulations. Never allow sharp bends in
lifting cables, chains or ropes.
Helicopter lifting is not allowed.
It is strictly forbidden to dwell or stay in the risk zone
under a lifted load. Never lift the unit over people or
residential areas. Lifting acceleration and deceleration
shall be kept within safe limits.
1
In case of transporting a non-trailer unit on a truck,
fasten it to the truck by attaching straps via fork lift
slots, via the holes in the frame at the front and back
or via the lifting beam. To prevent damage, never
put straps on the roof surface of the unit.
2
Place the unit on level ground and immobilize the
unit by placing chocks in front of and/or behind the
wheels, if applicable.
3
To lift heavy parts, a hoist of ample capacity, tested
and approved according to local safety regulations,
shall be used.
4
Lifting hooks, eyes, shackles, etc., shall never be
bent and shall only have stress in line with their
design load axis. The capacity of a lifting device
diminishes when the lifting force is applied at an
angle to its load axis.
5
For maximum safety and efficiency of the lifting
apparatus all lifting members shall be applied as
near to perpendicular as possible. If required, a
lifting beam shall be applied between hoist and
load.
6
Never leave a load hanging on a hoist.
7
A hoist has to be installed in such a way that the
object will be lifted perpendicular. If that is not
possible, the necessary precautions must be taken to
prevent load-swinging, e.g. by using two hoists,
each at approximately the same angle not exceeding
30° from the vertical.
8
Locate the unit away from walls. Take all
precautions to ensure that hot air exhausted from the
engine and driven machine cooling systems cannot
be recirculated. If such hot air is taken in by the
engine or driven machine cooling fan, this may
cause overheating of the unit; if taken in for
combustion, the engine power will be reduced.
9
Generators shall be stalled on an even, solid floor,
in a clean location with sufficient ventilation. If the
floor is not level or can vary in inclination, consult
Atlas Copco.
10 Do not install the generator set outdoors without
proper protection (especially when being exposed to
rain or snow), as this may impose an electric shock
hazard and/or result in faulty operation.
11 The electrical connections shall correspond to local
codes. The machines shall be earthed and protected
against short circuits by fuses or circuit breakers.

12 When using extension cables, take in account the
maximum cable length. Cables of 1.5 mm² diameter
should not exceed 60 m, cables of 2.5 mm² should
not exceed 100 m.
13 Provide adequate lighting at the working spot to
comply
with
applicable
(min.20 Lux).
14 Never connect the generator outlets to an
installation which is also connected to a public
mains.
15 Before connecting
a load,
corresponding circuit breaker, and check whether
frequency, voltage, current and power factor
comply with the ratings of the generator.
16 Before transportation of the unit, switch off all the
circuit breakers.
