Light Tower Setup See Figure 4-1 for component identification.
WARNING: When erecting or stowing the mast assembly, be aware of the pinch points such as where the
tower structures join or where the cable and winch are located. Careless operation can result
in injury. Keep extremities away from moving parts to avoid injury.
WARNING: Before erecting the mast assembly, be certain that the outriggers are properly set to stabilize
the unit and that they are secure and are not damaged. Erecting the mast without setting the
outriggers can cause the unit to tip over when raising the mast.
WARNING: Before erecting the mast assembly, be certain that there are no overhead wires. Contact with
overhead wiring presents an electrical shock hazard that may cause severe injury or death.
WARNING: Before erecting the mast assembly, be certain that there are no overhead obstructions that
the mast will hit when raising it. Hitting an object (tree limb etc.) may damage the mast or
cause the unit to tip over and may result in injury or property damage.
WARNING: Never move or reposition a light tower when the mast is extended or in the vertical position.
Unless the mast is in its stowed position, it may contact overhead wires or cause the light
tower to be unbalanced or tip over.
1. With the Light Mast in its’ stowed position, install or reposition the four light fixtures to
the desired placement when the tower is raised.
2. Pull the Mast Lock pin so the mast is no longer secured in the stowed position.
3. Pull the Tilt Lock pin so it is not in the way when the mast is raised.
