These devices are intended for operator safety. 

Disconnection of these devices can cause severe injury, 

bodily harm or even death. Disconnection of any of these 

devices will void all warranties.

  CAUTION

 

NEVER lubricate components or attempt service on a 

running machine.

 

ALWAYS ensure light tower is on level ground before use 

so that it cannot slide or shift around, endangering workers. 

Always keep immediate area free of bystanders.

 

ALWAYS make sure trailer is leveled with all outriggers 

extended before raising tower. Outriggers must remain 

extended while tower is up.

 

ALWAYS keep area behind trailer clear of people while 

raising and lowering mast.

 

NEVER remove safety pin or pull mast locking pin while 

tower is in a raised position!

 

CHECK the mast and winch cables for wear. If any 

problem occurs when lowering or raising the tower, STOP 

immediately! Contact a trained technician for assistance.

 

NEVER pivot or retract mast while unit is operating.

 

NEVER use the light tower mast as a crane. DO NOT 

lift anything with the mast.

 

ALWAYS lower the light tower when not in use, or if high 

winds or electrical storms are expected.

NOTICE

 

ALWAYS keep the immediate area surrounding the light 

tower clean, neat, and free of debris.

 

ALWAYS keep the machine in proper running condition.

 

Fix damage to machine and replace any broken parts 

immediately.

 

ALWAYS store equipment properly when it is not being 

used. Equipment should be stored in a clean, dry location 

out of the reach of children and unauthorized personnel.
