WARNING: TIPPING OVER
Lower the mast if using in strong wind that causes the lamp fittings to sway
severely.
Although the mast can withstand wind speeds up to 20 m/s when the mast is
completely extended, do not use in wind speeds over 15 m/s (such as when
power lines are swaying or it is difficult to open an umbrella) in order to provide
safety by preventing the lamps from tipping over.
Use on a level surface with a solid foundation. If it is absolutely necessary to use
on an inclined surface, adjust the tower light so that it is level by setting blocks
under the wheels to make sure that the mast is not at an incline (standing
vertically).
Be sure to always apply the wheel brakes so that the dolly does not move. Place
wheel chocks also.
Use the outriggers to secure the tower light. Adjust the tower light so that it is level
at this time.
Always be sure to lower the mast to the lowest position when moving or
transporting loaded on a vehicle.
When loaded on a vehicle, set so that the tower light side is facing towards the
direction of travel (mast is in the back). Setting the tower light in the opposite
direction can readily result in it tipping over if the brake is suddenly applied.
Be sure to always apply the wheel brakes and tie with rope to secure the tower
light when loaded on a vehicle. Set the dolly handle to the right or left and place
wheel chocks to stop the front wheels from moving in order to prevent the rope
from becoming loose.
As the tower light brake function cannot be used when adjusting the brake, always
be sure to position the tower light on a level surface with a solid foundation, place
wheel chocks and lower the mast until it is at the lowest position.
WARNING: DROPPING/INJURY
If moving the tower light generator by use of a forklift, be sure to always lower the
mast to the lowest position with the generator loaded before inserting the forks
completely into the tower light.
Be sure to always use the lifting lug to lift up the tower light.
Securely tighten the bolts and nuts securing the generator when loading a
generator that has been removed from a dolly.
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK
Do not touch this tower light during operation if it or your body is wet.
Be sure to always stop the engine before performing any check or maintenance of
the lamps and other parts.
WARNING: TIPPING OVER/INJURY
Be careful of the outriggers when they are in use. You could trip and fall.
WARNING: IMPAIRED EYESIGHT
Do not work for an extended period of time near the lamps and do not look directly
into a lamp.
CAUTION: INJURY
Do not touch the mast, winch drum or wire when the mast is moving up/down.
To change the direction of a lamp fittings frame, be sure to always support the
lamp fittings frame or leg with one hand while loosening the rotation handle.
Do not adopt an unnatural posture when adjusting the direction of a lamp fitting.
Be sure to always support the outriggers with one hand when setting and storing
them.
Be careful that your hand supporting the outrigger does not get pinched or caught
by the mast or winch handle when setting and storing the outriggers.
Do not tighten a lamp with excessive force. Doing so could damage the lamp.
Do not modify the tower light and do not operate with parts removed.
