f Verify approved safety chains are attached
properly to both the trailer and tow vehicle.
During towing
• Do not tow the trailer with any people, parts,
supplies, or additional equipment attached to it or
loaded onto it.
• Do not tow additional trailers or other equipment
in tandem with the light tower trailer.
• The recommended maximum speed for highway
towing is 45 MPH (72 km/h). For offroad towing,
the recommended maxiMum speed is 10 MPH (16
km/h) or less, depending on terrain.
• Adhere to all applicable DOT regulations when
towing the trailer.
After towing
Release the trailer tow hitch from the tow vehicle as
follows:
1. Locate the levelling jack on the trailer drawbar at
the front of the trailer.
2. Pull the locking pin and rotate the jack downward.
When the jack is properly set, the locking pin
snaps into position with an audible “click.”
3. Block or chock the trailer wheels.
4. Release the tow hitch from the ball coupler or
pintle on the tow vehicle.
5. Crank the jack handle until the jack foot touches
the ground and the tow hitch rises up off the tow
vehicle.
6. Move the tow vehicle away from the trailer.
Hoisting
The light tower may be hoisted by means of the hoist
ring mounted on the lifting beam (see Figure 3.2).
Prior to hoisting:
• Ensure the mast is in the lowest position, (see
Figure 3.2).
• Return levelling jacks and outriggers to the travel
position, and ensure they are all secured in place
with their locking pins.
Location
• To achieve the best possible light coverage, locate
the light tower on the same level as the area to be
lighted, or higher.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury, ensure the
surrounding area is in good order and free of
debris.
• To reduce the risk of shifting, rolling, or
overturning, locate the light tower on a firm, level
surface, with enough space to deploy the trailer’s
outriggers.
• Ensure convenient access to earth ground.
• The light tower mast can be extended to 24.5 feet
(7.5 meters) in height. Ensure the area above the
trailer is clear of obstructions.
DANGER
Electric shock hazard.
Contact with overhead
electrical power lines will
cause serious injury or death.
Do not position light tower
under power lines.
