Receiving & Inspection
When you receive your light tower, there are several things you should do immediately.
1. Observe the condition of the light tower and report any damage immediately to the
carrier that delivered your system.
2. Verify that the part number of the system you received is the same as the part number
listed on your purchase order.
3. If the system is to be stored for several weeks before use, be sure that it is stored in a
location that conforms to published storage temperature and humidity specifications.
Lifting the Light Tower
When lift or hoist equipment is used to lift the light tower and move it to position, be
careful not to contact overhead wires or other obstacles. The unit can weigh as much as 2,000
lbs. Be sure lift or hoist equipment has appropriate tires for the terrain to avoid becoming stuck
or tipping over. The lift slots are designed for use with a fork lift. A spreader bar and chains
(see Figure 3-1) can also be used.
Installation The light tower is delivered completely assembled, tested and ready for use. No assembly is
required. However, before putting the light tower to use the system should be completely
checked to ensure it is ready for operation. See Figure 3-1.
The light tower (unit) has six major systems that will be checked individually before use, these
are:
1. Trailer
2. Engine/Generator
3. Trailer Stabilization System
4. Light Mast
5. Light Fixtures
6. Electrical Systems
