LOWERING THE MAST WITH ELECTRIC WINCH OPTION

1. Shut down the lights and engine. Allow the lights to cool 10-15 minutes before lowering the mast.

2. Loosen the mast rotation knob. Rotate the mast until the white arrows are aligned and the metal stop tabs are 

touching. Tighten the mast rotation knob.

3. Press and hold the upper winch control toggle switch downward to collapse the mast to its lowest position. Ensure 

the electrical cord does not get caught in, or pinched by, the mast while it is being lowered.

Note: 

Some electric winch models are equipped with an anti-backlash safety limit switch. This switch will disconnect 

power to the winch if excess cable slack is detected, preventing accidental lowering of the mast.

CAUTION

STOP IMMEDIATELY

 if the mast hangs up, or the winch cable begins to develop slack. 

Excess slack in the cable could cause the mast to collapse, which could result in personal 

injury or equipment damage. Contact an authorized service center.

4. Release the mast lock by pulling the safety pin on the mast lock and pulling the lock bar free. Lower the mast 

by holding the lower winch control toggle switch to the right until the mast is resting in the transport cradle. 

Note: 

If the mast lock bar does not pull free, activate the lower winch slightly to relieve pressure on the mast bar.

5. After the mast is completely down, insert the mast cradle locking pin and secure it with the safety pin.

Note: 

If the trailer is going to be moved, Magnum Power Products LLC strongly recommends that the lights be 

removed from the mast and stowed for transportation. Refer to 

“Removing the Lights for Transportation” on page

 22

.

REMOVING THE LIGHTS FOR TRANSPORTATION

1. On units equipped with quick disconnect fittings for the lights, disconnect the power 

cords from the junction box at the top of the mast. Replace the dust caps on the 
junction box. On hard wired units, remove the junction box cover, located on the 
top of the mast, and disconnect 

ONLY

 the mast light wires from the connectors. 

To release the mast light wires from the connectors, flip the locking levers down 
and pull out the appropriate wires.

2. Remove the lights by removing the wing nut that holds the light fixture bracket to 

the cross tube. Attach the lights to the storage brackets (if equipped) located on 
the mast tube on either side of the central lift point.

TOWING THE UNIT

Once the engine is shut down and the mast and lights are properly stowed, follow these steps to prepare the unit 
for towing.

1. Raise the rear jack completely and release the locking pin to rotate it up into the travel position. Make sure the 

locking pin snaps into place.

2. Raise the outrigger jacks completely and release the jack locking pin to swing the jacks up into the travel position. 

Make sure the locking pins snap into place. Release the outrigger locking pins and slide the outriggers into the 
trailer frame until the locking pins snap into place.
