In this study, we deal with the Gauss map of tubular hypersurfaces in 4-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space concerning the linearized operators L_1 (Cheng-Yau) and L_2. We obtain the L_1 (Cheng-Yau) operator of the Gauss map of tubular hypersurfaces that are formed as the envelope of a family of pseudo hyperspheres or pseudo hyperbolic hyperspheres whose centers lie on timelike or spacelike curves with non-null Frenet vectors in E^4_1 and give some classifications for these hypersurfaces which have generalized L_k 1-type Gauss map, first kind L_k-pointwise 1-type Gauss map, second kind L_k-pointwise 1-type Gauss map and L_k-harmonic Gauss map, k ∈ {1,2}.
