DAILY INSPECTION
1.
Inspect condition of electrical cords.
DO NOT
use light tower if insulation is cut or worn through.
2.
Check that winch cables are in good condition and that they are centered on each pulley.
DO NOT
use a cable that
is kinked or starting to unravel.
3.
Check that the safety pins for the mast lock rod and mast lock bar are present and secured with a chain. Check
that the spring located in the mast lock bar is not broken or missing. Check the operation of the mast lock bar.
4.
Check the fuel, oil and coolant levels.
5.
Check the operation of the trailer parking brake (if equipped).
6.
Check the wheel lugs. Tighten or replace any that are loose or missing.
If a tire has been removed for axle service or replaced, tighten the lugs in
the order shown to the following specifications:
A. Start all lug nuts by hand.
B. First pass tighten to 20-25 Ft-Lbs (27-33 Nm).
C. Second pass tighten to 50-60 Ft-Lbs (67-81 Nm).
D. Third pass tighten to 90-120 Ft-Lbs (122-162 Nm).
After the first road use, retorque the lug nuts in sequence.
TRAILER WHEEL BEARINGS
The light tower is equipped with a grease zerk fitting to allow lubrication of the wheel bearings without the need to
disassemble the axle hub. To lubricate the axle bearings, remove the small rubber plug on the grease cap, attach a
standard grease gun fitting to the grease zerk fitting and pump grease into the fitting until new grease is visible around
the nozzle of the grease gun. Use only a high quality grease made specifically for lubrication of wheel bearings. Wipe
any excess grease from the hub with a clean cloth and replace the rubber plug when finished. The minimum recommended
lubrication is every 12 months or 12,000 miles; more frequent lubrication may be required under extremely dusty or damp
operating conditions.
