3. Installation - Moving

3.1. Choice of location

A space will be reserved for installing the lighting column. This must be flat and firm enough for the column not to sink in.
Position the column on a flat surface, making sure the slope does not exceed 10°.
Access to the column will need to be free at all times, for safety and maintenance reasons.
The column ventilation must under no circumstances be disrupted by miscellaneous objects put down nearby. This would cause
abnormal heating, and power loss.
Burnt gas will be freely discharged to prevent any resuction into the air filter or coolant system.
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a highly toxic substance. This substance can cause death if it is present in
excessive concentrations in the air inhaled.
For this reason, always use your column in a well-ventilated location, where the gases cannot accumulate.
Danger
Good ventilation is required for your column to run properly. Without this, the motor would very quickly run at too high a temperature,
which could lead to accidents or damage to the equipment and to surrounding items. However, if it is necessary to operate it inside
a building, appropriate ventilation must be provided, so that people and animals are not affected. It is imperative that exhaust gases
are discharged outside.

3.2. Unloading

3.2.1 Safety during unloading

To unload the lighting column from its transport support bracket under optimum safety and efficiency conditions, make sure that the
following points are observed:
Lifting machinery or equipment appropriate for the work required.
Position of slings in the rings provided for this operation, or lifting arms positioned in the fork-lift pockets intended for this purpose.
Ground that can withstand the load of the column and its lifting machinery without stress (otherwise, put down beams of sufficient
strength in a stable configuration).
Position the column as close as possible to its place of use or transport, in a clear space with free access.
Example of equipment to be used:
Crane, slings, lifting beam, safety hook, shackles.

Forklift truck.

3.2.2 Instructions for unloading

3.2.2.1.

Slings

Attach the hook on the lifting equipment to the ring on the lighting column provided for this purpose.
Ensure that the hooks are correctly fastened and that the equipment is secure.
Gently raise the lighting column.
Guide the lighting column towards the selected position, stabilising it.
Carefully set down the equipment while continuing to position it.
Release the tension then detach the hook.
3.2.2.2. Fork lift truck
Position the forklift arms under the column in the pockets provided for this purpose.
Lift the equipment, handling it gently.
Put down the lighting column on its unloading point.
