excessive wear or damage. Verify the cables are
properly centered in each pulley (A). Check the
electrical cord for damage.

upward to telescope the mast to the desired height.
Extend the mast slowly, verifying the coiled
electrical cord is extending at the top sections of
the mast.
IMPORTANT NOTE: GMASD immediately if the mast
hangs up or the winch cable develops slack.
4. The mast can be rotated by loosening the mast
rotation knob at the bottom of the mast (D). Turn
the mast until the lights face in the desired direction
and then tighten the knob.
Starting the Unit
NOTE: If the engine was run out of fuel or the fuel tank
was drained, it may be necessary to bleed the fuel lines.
Refer to the engine operator’s manual supplied with the
unit.
