1.2 Operating Safety
Familiarity and proper training are required for the safe operation of
equipment. Equipment operated improperly or by untrained personnel
can be dangerous. Read the operating instructions contained in both
this manual and the engine manual and familiarize yourself with the
location and proper use of all controls. Inexperienced operators should
receive instruction from someone familiar with the equipment before
being allowed to operate the machine.
1.2.1 The area immediately surrounding the Light Tower should be clean,
neat, and free of debris.
1.2.2 ALWAYS be sure the machine is on a firm, level surface and will not
tip, roll, slide, or fall while operating.
1.2.3 NEVER start a unit in need of repair.
1.2.4 Lower the tower when not in use, or if high winds or electrical storms
are expected in the area.
1.2.5 ALWAYS make certain the machine is well-grounded and securely
fastened to a good earthen ground per national and local regulations.
1.2.6 The tower extends up to 9 m (30 ft.). Make sure the area above the

1.2.7 The bulbs become extremely hot in use! Allow the bulb and fixture to
cool 10–15 minutes before handling.
1.2.8 Keep the area behind the trailer clear of people while raising and
lowering the mast! Never raise, lower or turn the mast while unit is
operating!
1.2.9 The trailer must be leveled and the outriggers extended before raising
the tower. The outriggers must remain extended while the tower is up.

develops slack while raising or lowering the tower, STOP immediately!
Contact an authorized WACKER service representative.
