USING THE LIGHT TOWER
ENGINE OPERATION
Before starting the engine or operating the light tower,
review “ SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ” on page 2-2 .
The
Maxi-Lite II
light tower is powered by a diesel
engine and generator unit.
PRE-START CHECKS
1
Check the engine oil and add oil if required. Fill the
engine with the proper grade of lubricating oil.
2
Check the fuel level and add diesel fuel as required.
3
Make sure that the air cleaner is firmly attached and
that air cleaner seals and hose clamps are properly
secured. The air cleaner element should be checked,
and replaced if necessary.
STARTING THE ENGINE
To start the engine:
1
For LSC 2.0, refer to the LSC 2.0 Operator’s Manual.
2
Turn the key to the left to the PREHEAT position.
3
Wait 10 seconds for glow plug to heat.
4
Turn the key all the way to the right to the START
position, until the engine starts.
If the engine has run out of fuel, refill the fuel tank, then
proceed with the starting procedure.
NOTICE - Don’t burn out the starter
Do not operate the starter for more than 10 seconds
without allowing 30 seconds to pass between
starting attempts. Possible starter damage could
result from excessive heat caused by cranking the
engine too long.
NOTICE - Don’t double-start
If the engine develops sufficient speed to disengage
the starter but does not keep running (a false start),
the engine must be allowed to come to a complete
stop before you try to restart it.
If the starter is engaged while the flywheel is rotating,
the starter pinion and flywheel ring gear may clash.
This could damage to the starter or flywheel ring
gear.
JUMP STARTING THE ENGINE
In the event of a low or exhausted battery, the engine
on your light tower can be jump started.
To jump start the engine:
1
Open the left side panel door to gain access to the
battery.
2
Connect jumper cables to the battery terminals on
the battery of the starting vehicle, red to the positive
terminal and black to the negative terminal.
CAUTION
Exercise extreme caution not to touch the ends of the
jumper cables together when they are connected to
a battery. Touching the ends of the cables together
can cause a fire or possibly an explosion.
3
Connect the jumper cables to the battery in your
trailer, red to the positive terminal and black to the
negative terminal.
4
Start the starting vehicle.
5
Attempt to start the engine on the light trailer.
6
When the engine on the light trailer starts, wait a bit,
then remove the jumper cables from the battery in
the trailer, then from the battery in the starting
vehicle.
