MACHINE PACK-UP INSTRUCTIONS 

 

Pack-up the lighting tower by completing 
the lighting tower  set-up  steps  in reverse 
order.  

 
 

 
Before coupling the lighting tower drawbar 
to the tow vehicle’s hitch; 

Ensure the trailer parking brake  is applied 
and prevents the trailer from moving.  

1.  Ensure the mast is lowered and the  
     lighthead is tilted and rotated into the    
     stowed position prior to towing or 

 

     transporting.  

 

2.   Extend the jockey wheel to contact the  
      ground and lock its height in position. 

 

3.   Retract all outrigger legs. Slide 

 front and rear outrigger arms fully-in.  
 Make  sure all plunger-pins engage 

 

 and lock the outrigger arms. 

 

4.  Fold-up all jack winding levers and turn 

handles  inward towards jack body  as 
shown. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

5.  Depress the emergency-stop button 

 
   
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Emergency-Stop Button (circled) 

 
The machine can  be  moved  onto a truck 
tray, into a container  or prepared for 
towing.  
 
If the machine is attached to a  towing 
vehicle, ensure that the jockey wheel is

 

raised and locked in the stowed position.  
 
When  loading the machine onto a tilt-tray 
truck, do not winch the machine while it is 
supported by the jockey wheel. Lateral 
forces can cause the jockey wheel to 
collapse resulting in machine damage.  
 
 
When transporting the  machine on a tray 
of a truck or the floor of  a container, 
ensure that the front outriggers are resting 
on the floor prior to tying down the 
machine so as to remove the load on the 
jockey wheel and prevent potential failure.
