3 To adjust each light fixture, manually swivel each
fixture at its base into the working position you want.
There are two adjustments per light. The fixture and
bracket assembly rotates on the pivot point where it
attaches to the bar and the light fixture rotates
within the bracket.
NOTICE
Note that there are two adjustments for each
individual light: you can rotate the bracket or you can
rotate the light itself within the bracket.
All necessary adjustments need to be made before
raising the tower.
POSITIONING THE TOWER ARMS
With the light tower fully lowered and the lights off, the
tower arms and light fixtures can be manually rotated
into the position you want.
Each arm of the light tower needs to be independently
rotated while the tower is down. On four light models,
the light bar will rotate 45° in either direction. On six
light models, the light bar will rotate 90° in either
direction.
To rotate the tower arms on four light models:
There is an adjustment lock lever on each arm. To
loosen or tighten, the lock lever can be pulled out to
allow it to “ratchet.”
1
Loosen the adjustment lock lever on each arm.
2 Rotate the arm to either side of center to the desired
angle (up to 45°).
3
Tighten the adjustment lock lever to hold the light
bar in position.
To rotate the tower arms on six light models:
1
Release the tower arm park pin by pulling the ring
out and turning it 90° so that the pin stays in the
retracted position.
2 Loosen the adjustment lock lever (one on each arm).
3
Rotate the arm to either side of center to the desired
angle (up to 90°).
4 Secure the arm in the desired position by:
• Setting the tower arm lock pin by turning the
ring 90° and letting the pin spring back into one
of the indexed slots.
• Tightening the adjustement lock lever.
ADJUSTING THE LIGHTS - LAYDOWN

when handling the lights or allow the lights to cool
down before handling.
ROTATING THE LIGHTS TO THE DESIRED
ANGLE
To adjust the light bar at the work site:
1
Rotate the light fixture up or down in its bracket to
adjust the vertical angle of the light.
2
Rotate the light fixture and bracket left or right to
adjust the horizontal angle of the light.
3
The entire light tower can be rotated to the left or
right to place the light where it is needed.
RAISING AND LOWERING THE LIGHT
