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.
REMOVING THE LIGHTS FOR TRANSPORTATION
1. 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
ONLY
the mast light wires from the terminal blocks.
To release the wires from the terminal blocks flip the locking levers down and pull out
the appropriate wires.
2. Remove the lights by removing the wing nut that holds the light fixture bracket to the
cross tube. Attach the lights to the storage brackets (if equipped) located on the mast
tube on either side of the central lifting eye.
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 drawbar 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.
