METRO-LED
The model Metro-LED Lighting Tower
incorporates an alternator which generates
high electrical voltages. Do NOT operate
the machine without all safety covers in
place covering all wiring and electrical
devices.
DO NOT TOUCH ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
COMPONENTS, LAMP TERMINALS
AND/OR SOCKETS. DANGEROUS
VOLTAGES MAY BE PRESENT EVEN
WHEN POWER IS OFF.
1. Do NOT alter the electrical wiring in
any way without receiving prior written
approval
and advice from JLG.
2. The lighting tower is NOT a mobile
generator set. It should only be used
for its intended design purpose.
3. The hydraulically operated mast has
hazardous crushing/pinch points. Do
NOT put arms, hands etc. near the
mast structure while it is in operation.
4. Do not operate the lights within easy
reach of people’s hands. Lamp fixtures
can become hot during operation.
Even after the lights have been
switched-off, the lamp fixtures can
remain hot for some time afterwards.
5. Do NOT replace lights with alternative
lights without being authorised by JLG.
6. The mast is not a crane. Do NOT
attempt to lift any object by using or
modifying or altering the mast and/or
the lighting tower hydraulic system.
7. There are moving parts in and around
the engine and alternator area of the
unit. Prior to carrying out any
maintenance checks or accessing the
engine area, ensure unit’s engine is
shut-down and the mast retracted.
Become familiar with all machine controls
and the machine’s operating envelope,
prior to operating the machine. The
machine’s mast uses a hydraulic/wire rope
system to lift and lower the mast.
1. Before raising the mast, ensure that
the ground is suitable to support and
level the machine, particularly under
each of the outrigger pads.
2. Mechanical damage will result if the
machine’s mast is allowed to strike
external structures such as buildings
etc.
FAILURE OF THE OUTRIGGERS TO
SUPPORT THE MACHINE ON SOFT
SURFACES COULD CAUSE THE
MACHINE TO TIP OVER. NEVER RAISE
THE MAST FULLY WITHOUT FIRST
SETTING ALL 4 OUTRIGGERS AND
ENSURING THE LIGHTING TOWER IS
LEVEL. A BUBBLE LEVEL IS
MOUNTED AT THE FRONT OF THE
MACHINE NEAR THE BASE OF THE
MAST TO AID IN LEVELLING OF THE
MACHINE.
DO NOT ERECT OR OPERATE THE
LIGHTING TOWER IN CONDITIONS
WHERE THE WINDSPEED IS LIKELY TO
EXCEED 100 km/hr.
TIPPING OR OVERTURNING OF THE
LIGHTING TOWER IS POSSIBLE.
