NEVER pull the vertical mast locking pin (p) while the tower is
raised! Releasing the vertical mast locking pin while the tower is
raised may cause the tower to fall or the machine to tip over.
3.6.5 After the mast is in the vertical position, check the operation of the
mast-mounted winch (q) by rotating the winch handle 1/4-turn
clockwise (“cable in” direction). The winch pawl must engage winch
gear teeth. When operating properly, it will make a “clicking” sound
when the winch handle is rotated clockwise. Do not attempt to raise the
mast if the winch is damaged or not operating properly. Continue
rotating the winch handle until mast is at the desired height. Do not
over crank the winch when the tower is fully extended.
CAUTION: Do not extend the tower beyond the red marking on the
mast!
3.6.6 Once the tower is at the desired height, rotate the mast to the desired
direction. To rotate, loosen rotation locking knob (s). Then using the
handle (u), rotate the mast until the lights face the desired direction,
and then retighten the rotation locking knob.
