CAUTION! Read all safety and operating
instructions in the manual supplied with this
light tower before operating.
DANGER! Do not raise this light tower near
any overhead power lines. Contact with power
lines could result in very serious injury or
death.
TOWER SET UP
1.
Choose high ground when available. Place far
enough away from work to allow light to spread
out. Place on fairly level spot turned so axle is
level.
2. If more than one light is used, position towers
around work to eliminate shadows.
3. Chock wheels to prevent light tower from rolling.
4. Unhitch from towering vehicle using jack to lift
tongue off hitch.
5. Pullout all outriggers and stop pins engage.
contact with ground o level trailer and to stabilize
against high winds.
6. WARNING! Do not raise tower without all out-
Replace any broken or missing jacks. Place pads
under jacks to spread weight if ground is soft.
Lower tower to a safe height in gate force winds. A
turned over tower could result in serious injury or
death.
7. Drive grounding rod into ground and connect wire
to ground stud trailer.
8.
install on crossarm with lens facing down and
weep holes facing forward.
9. Look out across job and select a target on the
provided, plan to aim narrow at a more distant
target.
10.
angle of separation between each target. Then
of separation. Note that horizontal aim of the full
tower once.
11. Remove travel locking pin at rear.
12. Operate winch to stand up tower. Stop winch when
vertical tower lock engages at base of tower.
13. CAUTION! Insert safety lock pin into latch at base
of tower before proceeding to telescope tower up.
14. Pull telescoping lock pin on side of tower and
operate winch to telescope lower up. Pin can be
released after tower starts up, it may be necessary
to back off on winch slightly to relieve tensions so
telescoping lock pin can be pulled.
15. Stop telescoping tower up when red line appears
and cable tension builds. Do not over crank
winch. Tower may be stopped at any height and
16. Loosen “T” bolt on tower and rotate tower to align
bolt.
17. CAUTION! Make sure tower is plumb. Adjust jacks
if necessary.
FLOODLIGHT OPERATION
1. Check fuel and engine oil levels, if unit has a
radiator, check coolant level. If fuel tank was
totally empty, fuel lines must be bled before
starting the engine.
2.
to preheat until indicator glows.
3.
push in relay bypass button while starting engine.
4. Hold engine switch on “Start” until engine starts,
the release. Let engine come to speed and
stabilize.
5. Turn main circuit breaker “On”.
6.
7. Then allow several minutes for the lamps to reach
full brightness.
8. DANGER! Before troubleshooting any lamp
that failed to operate follow all electrical shock
cautions in operators manual and on safety decal
located nearby.
9. Check any instruments and indicator lights on the
control panel to insure all systems are operating
frequency should be between 49 to 51 cycles per
second (Hertz) and voltage should be between
210 and 240 colts. Refer to the manual supplied
with the light tower for further information on
instrumentation.
10. Close all doors to protect from rain and contain
noise.
11.
12. If lighted areas are too small with dark areas
between, consider moving light tower further from
target to allow light to spread out more.
FLOODLIGHT OPERATION
1.
2.
circuit breakers “On”.
3. Turn engine switch to “Off” to stop engine.
TOWER LAYDOWN
1. Loosen “T” bolt and rotate tower to lock to face
rear of trailer so that lay-down groove aligns with
bar.
2. Operate winch to telescope tower down. Watch
telescope lock pin on side of tower and be sure it
engages. Then insert safety pin into the telescope
lock pin.
3. DANGER! Telescope lock pin must be engaged
before tower is layed down. Failure to engage pin
will result in tower failing when tower is about half
way layed down.
4. Pull vertical tower lock at base of tower and
operate winch to lay tower down into rear cradle.
It may be necessary to tighten up on winch to free
lock pin before pulling pin.
5. CAUTION! Do not let winch unwind too long.
Excess slack may allow cable to kink and jump off
pulleys.
6. Insert travel lock pin at rear of tower and secure
with keeper pin.
TOWER RELOCATION
1. CAUTION! Allow lamps to cool at least ten minutes
before moving light tower. Hot lamps will break if
moved.
2.
cross arm or inside of cabinet.
3. WARNING! Be sure rear travel lock and telescope
lock are engaging.
4. Crank up all jacks except for one front jack and
swivel to horizontal. Push in all outriggers until
stop pins engage.
5. CAUTION! Do not forget to retract rear jacks.
6. Using remaining jack to lower coupler over vehicle
hitch and secure. Connect safety chains and, if
provided, running, and brake lights.
7. Crank up remaining jack, swivel and lock
horizontal.
8. DANGER! Do not tow at excessive speeds. The
weight of this light tower can cause loss of vehicle
control, especially under emergency stopping
when lowering tower.
USE OF AUXILIARY RECEPTACLES
1. Auxiliary receptacle may be used with or with-out
consumes 5 amps as 240 volts.
2. Close all doors protect from rain and contain
noise.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Electrically ground trailer frame to earth before
operating genset.
2.
3. For extra safety, also drive in ground rod and
connect cable to stud welded to trailer frame.
4.
5. Screw caps on hand tight to seal receptacle when
not in use.
6.
receptacle is wet.
7. When raising, lowering, or rotating tower, be sure
to watch power cord.
8. If power cord gets cut or crushed replace before
operating light tower.
9. Turn off genset when performing electrical work.
10.
11. Turn off genset before replacing ballast.
12. Take extra precautions when troubleshooting
electrical problems.
13. Only use a voltmeter with two well-insulated pin
probes rated for 600 volts
14. Ground trailer frame securely with all jacks and a
backup ground cable.
15. Inspect ground cable between genset and trailer
frame.
16. Treat all conductors as potentially hot.
17. Proceed through circuits systematically operating
only one section at a time.
18. Before disconnecting ballast turn off circuit
breaker and wait 30 seconds tor capacitor to
discharge.
19. If all the lights are out and all the ballasts are
receiving power suspect burned out power cable.
Shut down genset and fully inspect power cable
and junction box.
