Lowering Tower (Power Winch System)
See Graphic: wc_gr005076
ALWAYS observe the tower while raising and lowering the tower.
Be sure you read and understand the operating instructions
before lowering the tower!
If for any reason any part of the tower hangs up or the winch cable
develops slack before the tower is fully lowered,
stop immediately!
Continuing to power the winch will increase slack in the cable. Too
much slack could cause tower to collapse should it suddenly free up.
If the tower hangs up, level the trailer. Slightly shake or twist the tower
assembly to free the bind. Contact an authorized Wacker Neuson
service representative immediately.
NEVER
lower the tower while the unit is operating.
NEVER
allow anyone to stand near the rear of the unit while lowering
the tower.
4.8.1
Turn the lights off. Shut down the engine.
NOTICE:
Shutting down the engine before turning off the lights could
damage the floodlight ballasts or the generator capacitor(s).
NOTICE:
Observe the power cord while lowering the tower. Make sure
the coiled cord is not damaged during the lowering process.
4.8.2
Lower the tower by turning and holding the telescope rotary switch on
the control panel in the down position.
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.
4.8.3
Loosen the rotation locking knob
(s)
and rotate the tower so the lights
face the rear of the trailer and the winches are facing toward the trailer
tongue.
