1.3.7 Risks related to moving the set

To unload the generating sets, pump units or lighting columns from their transport support brackets under optimum safety and
efficiency conditions, you must ensure that the following points are observed:
 The lifting machinery or equipment is suited to the work required, in good condition and with sufficient lifting capacity.
 The slings are positioned in the rings provided for this operation, the forklift arms are resting fully underneath all of the base frame
cross-beams, or the lifting bars are inserted in the apertures provided for this purpose in the base to lift the entire generating set
(according to models).
 For completely safe working conditions and to prevent damage to the components fitted on the upper edge of the set, pump unit or
lighting column, the generating set, pump unit or lighting column must be lifted up with an adjustable boom. All the chains and
cables must be parallel with each other, and as perpendicular as possible with the upper edge of the generating set, pump unit or
lighting column.
 If other equipment fitted on the generating set, pump unit or lighting column alters its centre of gravity, special lifting devices may be
necessary to maintain correct balance and completely safe working conditions.
 The ground must be able to withstand the load of the generating set, pump unit or lighting column and its lifting machinery without
stress (otherwise, put down beams of sufficient strength in a stable configuration).
 Position the generating set, pump unit or lighting column as close as possible to its place of use or transport, in a clear space with
free access.
 Never perform work on a generating set, pump unit or lighting tower just hanging from a lifting device.

1.4. Identifying sets

Generating sets and their components are identified by means of identification plates.
The precise rules for identifying each major component (engine, alternator etc.) are set out in each manufacturer's documentation
contained in the appendices of this manual.
1 - Generating set
2 - Manufacturer name
3 - Model
4 - Serial number
5 - Year of manufacture
6 - Rated output (kVA and kW) according to the ISO
8528-1 standard
PRP: main power
ESP: emergency power
7 - Rated power factor
8 - Maximum altitude of the site above sea level (m)
for the rated power

11/298
9 - Maximum ambient temperature for the rated power
(°C)
10 - Rated frequency (Hz)
11 - Generating set rotation speed (RPM)
12- Rated voltage (V)
13 - Rated current (A)
14 - Weight (kg)
15 - CE marking
16 - Non CE standard marking
(e.g.: GOSSTANDART)
17 - Sound pressure
18 - Sound power
