1.2 Machine Description and Intended Use
Machine
description
This machine is a mobile, trailer-mounted light tower. The Wacker Neuson Light
Tower consists of a trailer with a cabinet containing a diesel engine, a fuel tank, a
control panel, and an electric alternator. A telescoping tower with four metal halide
or LED lights is vertically mounted to the top of the cabinet. As the engine runs, the
generator converts mechanical energy into electric power. The metal halide or LED
lights run off this power. Receptacle(s) are also provided to power auxiliary loads.
The operator uses the control panel to operate and monitor the machine.
Intended use
This machine is intended for the illumination of outdoor areas. This machine is also
intended for the purpose of supplying electrical power to connected loads. Refer to
the machine specifications for the output voltage and frequency, and for the
maximum output power limit of this machine.
This machine has been designed and built strictly for the intended use described
above. Using the machine for any other purpose could permanently damage the
machine or seriously injure the operator or other persons in the area. Machine
damage caused by misuse is not covered under warranty. The following are some
examples of misuse:

Connecting a load that has voltage and frequency requirements that are
incompatible with the machine output

Overloading the machine with a device that draws excessive power during
either continuous running or start-up

Operating the machine in a manner that is inconsistent with all federal, state,
and local codes and regulations

Using the machine as a ladder, support, or work surface

Using the machine to carry or transport passengers or equipment

Using the machine to tow other machines (unless factory equipped)

Using the machine as a hoist, or hanging items from the tower

Operating the machine outside of factory specifications

Operating the machine in a manner inconsistent with all warnings found on the
machine and in the Operator’s Manual
This machine has been designed and built in accordance with the latest global
safety standards. It has been carefully engineered to eliminate hazards as far as
practicable and to increase operator safety through protective guards and labeling.
However, some risks may remain even after protective measures have been taken.
They are called residual risks. On this machine, they may include exposure to:

Heat, noise, exhaust, and carbon monoxide from the engine

Heat from the lights

Ultraviolet radiation from the lights

Fire hazards from improper refueling techniques

Fuel and its fumes

Electric shock and arc flash

Personal injury from improper lifting the trailer tongue
