4-8 Operation
MN2488
WARNING: Light fixtures become extremely hot during use. To prevent severe burns, do not touch light
fixtures, bulbs or other components until they have cooled and no longer present a burn hazard.
Wear protective clothing when placing the tower in the stowed position after use and do not allow
any person to touch the light fixtures.
WARNING: When erecting or stowing the mast assembly, be aware of the pinch points such as where the
tower structures join or where the cable and winch are located. Careless operation can result
in injury. Keep extremities away from moving parts to avoid injury.
WARNING: The mast should come down slowly and smoothly. If slack develops in the cable or the mast
“hangs up”, stop immediately. Crank the winch in the reverse direction to take up slack in the
cable, and determine the cause of the problem if possible. Try to lower the mast again.
If the problem persists do not continue, seek expert advise. Cable slack can allow the light
tower to fall unexpectedly which may result in injury or damage.
Light Tower Stow Procedure
See Figure 4-1 for component identification.
1.
Use the Lift Winch to lower the light tower to its’ lowest vertical position.
The mast should come down slowly and smoothly. If slack develops in the cable or the
mast “hangs up”, stop immediately. Crank the winch in the reverse direction to take up
slack in the cable, and determine the cause of the problem if possible. Try to lower the
mast again. If the problem persists do not continue, seek expert advise.
2.
Loosen the Mast Rotation Lock and rotate the light mast so the lights face the rear of
the trailer. Tighten the Mast Rotation Lock. (There is an indicator mark on the mast that
will line up with the mast bracket indicator when the light fixtures are in the transport
position. This allows the mast, when lowered to the horizontal transport mode, to rest
on the brackets on the top of the engine compartment.)
3.
Remove the Mast Lock pin so it will not interfere with the mast when it is tilted.
4.
Make sure the Tilt Winch cable is tight.
5.
Remove the Tilt Lock pin.
6.
Use the Tilt Winch to lower the mast to the horizontal position being careful not to pinch
the electrical light cables.
7.
Install the Mast Lock pin.
8.
Install the Tilt Lock pin.
9.
Adjust the light fixtures as needed for transport so the four light glass fronts are tilted
away from the objects that may be propelled from the tires during transportation.
The mast is now in the stowed position for transport.
Trailer Setup for Towing
1.
Adjust the two rear jacks to their shortest length.
2.
Pull the Jack Lock Pin for the right jack and rotate the jack to the horizontal position.
Lock the jack in this position using the Jack Lock Pin.
3.
Pull the Outrigger Lock for the right jack and push the right outrigger fully in. Lock the
outrigger using the Outrigger Lock.
4.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the left outrigger and jack.
5.
Shut all doors on the engine compartment housing and latch the locks.
The Trailer Outriggers are stowed and should appear as shown in Figure 4-3 left view.
