Operation
Shutting Down the Unit
Check with personnel using power supplied by the unit
and let them know the power is going to be turned off.
Verify the power shutdown will not create any hazards by
accidentally turning off equipment that needs to remain
running (pumps, compressors, lights, etc.).
1. Remove all loads from the outlets.
2. See
Figure 3-8
. Switch the individual circuit
breakers for each light OFF (O).
3. Switch the main circuit breaker OFF (O).
4. Turn the engine start switch to STOP.
NOTE: For extended storage time, disconnect the
battery. For extended storage requirements, refer to the
engine operator’s manual.
Figure 3-8. Shutting Down the Unit
Lowering the Mast
1. Shut down the lights and engine. See
Shutting
Down the Unit
.
2. If the trailer is going to be moved, it is
recommended that the mast is turned so the lights
face toward the back of the unit. To rotate the mast:
a. Loosen the mast rotation knob.
b. Rotate the mast until the white arrows are
aligned and the metal stop tabs are touching.
The winch and lights should be facing toward
the back of the unit.
c. Tighten the mast rotation knob.
3. Press and hold the winch control toggle switch
downward to collapse the mast to its lowest
position. Verify the electrical cord does not get
caught in, or pinched by, the mast while it is being
lowered.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Contact a GMASD immediately if
the mast hangs up or the winch cable develops slack.
NOTE: If the generator is not operational, and the
batteries do not have enough power to lower the mast, it
may be necessary to lower the mast manually.
NOTE: Generac Mobile recommends lights be removed
from the mast and stowed for transportation.
Lowering the Mast—Manually
NOTE: Do not use this procedure unless it is absolutely
necessary. Continuous use of this procedure could
damage the planetary gear brake. This procedure will not
work if the planetary gear brake is damaged.
Figure 3-9. Winch Assembly
1. Remove the power cables from the two terminals
on the winch motor assembly (A).
2. Remove the two flange head screws (B) securing
the winch motor assembly to the winch.
3. Carefully remove the motor assembly (C), making
sure the two pieces do not separate.
4. Insert a 3/8” allen head wrench (D) into the sleeve
bearing.
5. Rotate the wrench counterclockwise to lower the
mast. If any slack is observed in the cable, stop
immediately and remove the slack.
