LOWERING THE TOWER EQUIPPED WITH THE OPTIONAL ELECTRIC WINCH
1.
Shut down the lights and engine. Allow the lights to cool 10-15 minutes before lowering the tower.
2.
Loosen the mast rotation knob and rotate the tower so the mast mounted winches face the front of the unit. The
white alignment arrow points should line up on the mast sections and the metal stop tabs should be touching.
Tighten the mast rotation knob.
3.
Press and hold the upper winch control toggle switch downward to collapse the mast to its lowest level. Make
sure the coiled electrical cord on the top sections of the mast does not get tangled on the mast sections.
Note:
Some electric winch models are equipped with an anti-backlash safety limit switch. This switch will disconnect
power to the winch if excess cable slack is detected, preventing accidental lowering of the tower. If, for any
reason, the cable begins to develop slack or any of the tower sections get stuck, STOP IMMEDIATELY and
contact an authorized service center.
4.
Release the mast lock bar by pulling the safety pin on the mast lock and pulling the lock bar free. Lower the
mast by holding the lower winch control toggle switch to the right until the mast is resting in the transport cradle.
Note: If the lock bar does not pull free, activate lower winch slightly to relieve pressure on the mast lock bar.
5.
After the mast is completely down, insert the cradle lock pin and secure it with the safety pin.
6.
Position lights to aim at the ground. If the trailer is going to be moved, Magnum Products LLC strongly recom-
mends that the lights be removed from the mast and stowed for transportation. On units equipped with quick
disconnect fittings for the lights, disconnect the power cords from the junction box at the top of the mast.
Replace the dust caps on the junction box. On other units, remove the junction box cover on the top of the mast
and disconnect the wires from the terminal blocks by clipping the wires as close as possible to the terminal
blocks.
Note: Pull any excess wire strands from the terminal blocks. When reconnecting the lights the next
time the light tower is used, strip 1/2” of the insulation from each wire and insert the bare wires into the correct
terminal block until locked.
7.
Remove the lights by removing the wing nut that holds the light fixture
bracket to the cross tube. Insert the lights into the storage brackets inside
the unit, placing two lights into the roof mounted brackets first. Then, place
a light into the vertical bracket next to the engine with the last light going
into the angled bracket.
TOWING THE TRAILER
Once the engine is shut down and the mast and lights are properly stowed, the trailer can be made ready for
transport.
1.
Raise the rear jack completely and release the locking pin to rotate it up into the travel position. Make sure the
locking pin snaps into place.
2.
Raise the outrigger jacks completely and release the jack locking pin to swing the jacks up into the travel
position. Make sure the locking pins snap into place. Release the outrigger locking pins and slide the
outriggers into the trailer frame until the locking pins snap into place.
3.
Use the tongue jack to raise or lower the trailer onto the hitch of the towing vehicle. Lock the hitch coupling and
attach the safety chains or cables to the vehicle. Release the jack locking pin and rotate the jack into the travel
position. Make sure the locking pin snaps into place.
4.
To ensure proper operation of the jacks, lube the grease fittings located on the leveling jacks.
5.
Connect any trailer wiring to the tow vehicle. Check for proper operation of the stop and signal lights.
6.
Make sure the cradle locking pin is in place.
7.
Make sure the doors are properly latched.
8.
If the trailer is going to be driven over rough ground, remove the bulbs from the light fixtures.
9.
Check for proper inflation of the trailer tires. The maximum tire inflation is 50 psi.
10. Attach a red flag to the end of the mast before towing.
11. Maximum recommended speed for highway towing is 45 mph. Recommended off-road towing speed is not to
exceed 10 mph or less depending on terrain.
