MACHINE SET UP AND PACK UP
INSTRUCTIONS
The following setup instructions are
applicable when the Light Tower is
towed into position. When the machine
is transported by truck and then
forklifted into position, ensure that the
retractable drawbar is extended and
pinned prior to setup and raising the
mast. Failure to do so may affect the
stability of the machine under some
operating
conditions.
The
front
outrigger leg may then be lowered to
support the front of the machine and
the transport leg raised and pinned in
the upper position. Do not use the
transport leg to support the machine
when raising the mast.
To set up machine for operation:
1. Select a flat level area to park the
machine.
2. Ensure parking brake is applied
prior to unhitching unit, removing
safety chain and electrical cable.
3. Lower the front jack to take the
weight of the unit. Raise unit until it
unhitches from the towing vehicle.
Drive the towing vehicle forward
clear of the draw bar.
4. Lower the front jack down until the
draw bar is sloping forward slightly.
5. At the rear of the unit, locate and
slide out the left outrigger arm and
lock pin into position. Rotate the
jack from the stowed position
through 180
until the foot is just
above the ground. Wind the jack
handle to lower the foot against the
ground.
6. Repeat step 5 for the right hand
outrigger arm and jack.
7. Raise the front of the machine by
adjusting the front jack until the
machine is level and each outrigger
support jack is pressing firmly
against the ground. Located behind
the flip up number plate is a fourth
outrigger leg. Release the remote
locking pin and flip up the number
plate. Withdraw the outrigger leg
outwards to the locked position
approx. 0.7 metre. Rotate the
outrigger leg through 90 degrees
and adjust by winding the handle
clockwise until the leg is in firm
contact with the ground. (Approx. 2
turns after contact). Do not attempt
to jack up the machine by
overextending.
It is not necessary to raise the
wheels of the machine off the
ground
when
lowering
the
outrigger jacks. When set up
correctly the wheels may still be in
firm contact with the ground. If the
surface is uneven though, one
wheel may need to be raised off
the ground to level the machine.
A bubble level is provided on the
front of the machine to assist in
levelling.
8. Ensure that the light bar assembly
is clear to swing out and away from
its stowed position. Unlatch the
transport turnbuckles.
