MACHINE SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
The following setup instructions are
applicable when the machine is towed into
position.
A jockey wheel is provided to
assist in manually manoeuvring the
machine. Do not use the transport leg or
jockey wheel to support the machine when
raising the mast.
MACHINE SET-UP
1. Select a flat level area to park the
machine.
2. Ensure parking brake is applied prior
to unhitching the machine from towing
vehicle. Disconnect the safety chain
and electrical trailer lights cable.
3. Extend the jockey wheel until the
machine unhitches from vehicle’s tow-
ball. Drive the towing vehicle forward
clear of the draw bar coupling.
4. At the front of the machine locate and
slide out the left outrigger arm and pin
into position. Rotate the jack from the
stowed position until the foot is just
above the ground. Lower the front
outrigger jack to take the weight of the
unit.
5. Repeat step 4 for the front outrigger
arm located on the right hand side.
6. Retract the jockey wheel until the
outriggers support the entire trailer
weight.
7. At the rear of the unit, locate and slide
out the left outrigger arm and lock pin
into position. Rotate the jack from the
stowed position until the foot is just
above the ground. Turn the jack
handle to lower the foot against the
ground.
8. Repeat step 7 for the right hand
outrigger arm and jack.
9. Raise the front of the machine by
adjusting the front outrigger jacks until
the machine is level and each
outrigger support jack is pressing firmly
against the ground, about two turns
after contact with the ground.
Do not attempt to raise the lighting
tower by overextending the jack leg
.
It is not necessary to raise the trailer
wheels off the ground when lowering
the outrigger jacks. When set up
correctly the wheels may still be in
firm contact with the ground.
If the surface is uneven though, one
wheel may need to be raised off the
ground to level the machine.
A bubble level is provided on the front
of the machine to assist in levelling.
