SHUTTING DOWN
When you have finished using the light tower, proceed with shut down as follows:
1.
Remove any loads from the auxiliary outlets.
2.
Switch the individual circuit breakers for each light to the OFF “O” position.
3.
Switch the main circuit breaker to the OFF “O” position.
4.
Push the red “ENGINE STOP” button. Pressing “Engine Stop” will result in the light tower going into the
shutdown cycle and starting a 15 second shutdown timer called “Stop Value”. If the unit does not shutdown
within 15 seconds a “Stop Fail” alarm will be displayed on the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) window.
5.
Move the “CONTROL ON / I” toggle switch to the “CONTROL OFF / O” position.
LIGHT OPERATION
1.
Once the engine is up to temperature and running smoothly, switch main circuit breaker to the ON “I” position.
2.
With main circuit breaker on, switch each individual circuit breaker for the lights to ON “I”, one at a time.
3.
The green ballast indicator lights 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.
Refer to the troubleshooting section on page 37.
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.
CAUTION
Bulbs become extremely hot when in use! Allow bulb fixture to cool
10-15 minutes before handling or lowering tower.
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.
