NOTICE
The magnetic limit switches on the outer vertical mast
will signal the hoist to stop extending at a maximum
operating point for safe operation. A secondary switch
will do the same when lowering to a stowed position
for towing and to prevent the cable from uncoiling on
the hoist.
CAUTION
DO NOT
overextend the mast. The magnetic limit switch
on the main mast section will diconnect power to the
electric hoist to prevent over extending the mast.
SETUP
4. Release the
mast control switch
. This winch is of the
self-locking type. The disc brake in the hoist will keep
the tower in place.
ROTATING THE MAST
To change the direction that the lights are facing, the mast
can be rotated, or the lights may be rotated independently
of each other.
1. With the mast in the stowed position (fully vertical),
unscrew the mast rotation locking knob (Figure 20) to
release the mast for rotation.
2. Grab hold of the mast rotation handles (Figure 20)
and rotate the mast until the lights are facing in the
desired direction.
3. When the lights are facing in the desired direction,
tighten the mast rotation lock knob to lock the mast
in place.
