LTS Lifting and Transporting
3.4 Positioning and Uncoupling
When choosing a location for the light tower, keep in mind the following:

Assess site conditions carefully before positioning and operating the machine.

The working area should be relatively level and solid. This will ensure smooth,
trouble-free telescoping of the mast (which may not telescope properly if the unit
is not level).

Do not position the tower in the vicinity of overhead cables or power lines.

Never raise the mast or operate the tower without properly jacking the
unit.

For maximum light coverage and illumination efficiency, locate the unit at ground
level or in a spot higher than the area being illuminated by the lamps.

Do not move the tower with the mast raised.
Uncouple the light tower from the towing vehicle, if necessary, as follows:
1. Detach the breakaway cable from the towing vehicle.
2. Release the towing bar assembly clamp and lower the tongue jack until it
touches to the ground.
3. Tighten the clamp.
4. Put wheel chocks or other restricting items behind and in front of the wheels in
order to make sure the unit will not move once uncoupled from the vehicle.
5. Release and remove the pin from the towing eye on the towing vehicle.
Coupling the unit to a towing vehicle is the reverse of this procedure. Before
moving off, check the tires and check that all the lights on the trailer work properly.
WARNING
NEVER release the towing bar tongue jack clamp lever while the tongue jack is
supporting the unit. The machine would tip forward and could cause damage or
personal injury.
