Transport - Ingersoll-Rand 7/26E Operation & Maintenance Manual

Safety
Keep all parts of the body and any hand-held tools or other conductive objects, away from
exposed live parts of the generator set engine electrical system. Maintain dry footing, stand
on insulating surfaces and do not contact any other portion of the generator set when
making adjustments or repairs to exposed live parts of the generator set engine electrical
system.
Replace the 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, connecting cables, tools and
all personnel at least 3 metres from all power lines and buried power cables, other than
those connected to the generator set.
Attempt repairs only in clean, dry, well lighted and ventilated areas.
Connect the generator set only to loads and/or electrical systems that are compatible with
its electrical characteristics and that are within it's rated capacity.

Transport

When loading or transporting machines ensure that the specified lifting and 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 suitable to provide safe and stable towing at
speeds either, up to the legal maximum for the country in which it is being towed or, as
specified for the machine model if lower than the legal maximum.
Ensure that the maximum trailer weight does not exceed the maximum gross weight of the
machine (by limiting the equipment load), limited by the capacity of the running gear.
NOTE: Gross mass (on data plate) is for the basic machine and fuel
only, excluding any fitted options, tools, equipment and foreign
materials.
Steps for determining correct load limit -
1. Locate the statement "The weight of cargo should never exceed xxx kg or xxx
lbs" on your vehicle's placard.
2. This figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
3. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the
vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage
load capacity.
