LIGHT OPERATION
1. Once the engine is up to temperature and running smoothly,
switch main circuit breaker (1) to the ON “I” position.
2. With main circuit breaker on, switch each individual circuit
breaker for the lights (2) to ON “I”, one at a time.
3. The ballast indicator lights (3) will come on momentarily as the
lights strike. As the lights warm up, the ballast indicator lights will
continue to get brighter and then remain on. This confirms that
power is coming from the ballasts to the lights.
4. If an indicator light does not come on, the ballast may need to
be serviced. If the indicator light comes on and stays lit but the
related light is not illuminated, check the bulb or the mast wiring.
5. The lights require a warm up period of 5-15 minutes before they
reach full output. If the lights are shut down, they require a cool-
down period of approximately 10 minutes before they can be
switched on again.
6. The light tower uses four 1000W bulbs. When checking or replacing the bulbs, wipe them with a clean cloth to
avoid leaving any grease, oil residue or fingerprints on the glass. Any residue can create a hot spot on the bulb,
causing premature bulb failure.
WARNING
NEVER OPERATE THE LIGHTS WITHOUT THE PROTECTIVE LENS COVER OR WITH
A LENS COVER THAT IS CRACKED OR DAMAGED! The bulbs in the light fixtures
produce high temperatures and operate under pressure. A broken or missing lens
cover could cause the bulbs to shatter, causing injury.
WARNING
Bulbs become extremely hot in use! Allow bulb fixture to cool 10-15 minutes before
handling.
AUXILIARY OUTLETS
The control panel is equipped with two outlets for running accessories
or tools from the generator. Power is supplied to the outlets any time
the engine is running and the main circuit breaker is switched on “I”.
Note: Do not pull more than 1000W from each outlet when the lights
are on. This will overload the generator and cause the main circuit
breaker to trip. Should the breaker trip, switch off the lights, remove
some of the load to the outlets and wait 10 minutes for the bulbs to
cool before turning them back on.
With all of the lights off, the full generator output may be used with
the 240V twist-lock outlet.
DERATING FOR ALTITUDE
All light towers are subject to derating for altitude and temperature. Although derating should not affect the operation
of the lights, it will reduce the available power for operating tools and accessories connected to the auxiliary outlets.
Typical reductions in performance are 2-4% for every 1000 ft. (305 m) of elevation and 1% per 10º F (3-5º C) increase
in ambient air temperature over 72º F (22.2º C).
