Raising Tower (Power Winch System)
See Graphic: wc_gr005076
ALWAYS
observe the tower while raising and lowering the tower.
NEVER
raise the tower or operate the Light Tower in high winds.
NEVER
raise the tower while the engine is running.
Do not move the Light Tower while it is operating.
HIGH VOLTAGE! DO NOT
use Light Tower if insulation on electrical
cord is cut or worn through. Repair or replace cord before using. Bare
wires in contact with the metal frame of the trailer or the Light Tower
can cause electrocution.
DO NOT
position the Light Tower under electrical power lines.
NEVER
allow anyone to stand near the rear of the unit while raising the
tower.
The Light Tower includes two separate winches—one for lifting the
tower to the vertical position, the other for raising the tower.
4.7.1
Check the winch cables
(n)
for wear or damage, and make sure they
are resting properly in the pulleys. Do not use the Light Tower if either
winch cable is damaged.
4.7.2
Remove the cradle locking pin
(j)
from the cradle.
4.7.3
Check the operation of the tilt winch
(o).
Turn the vertical rotary switch
(v)
on the control panel to the up position. Do not attempt to raise the
tower if the winch is damaged or not operating properly.
NOTICE:
Continuous running of the winch in excess of 4 minutes will
damage the winch motor.
Note: It is normal for smoke to be produced during the first few
operations of a new power winch.
4.7.4
Hold the switch in the up position and raise the tower to the vertical
position until the vertical tower locking pin
(p)
locks the tower in place.
Be certain the vertical tower locking pin is fully engaged in the locking
position before raising the tower.
NEVER pull the vertical tower locking pin (p) while the tower is
raised!
Releasing the vertical tower locking pin while tower is raised
may cause the tower to fall or the machine to tip over.
