LT6KV LIGHT TOWER • OPERATION MANUAL — REV. 2 (07/08/16) — PAGE 31
INDOOR INSTALLATION
Exhaust gases from diesel engines are extremely
poisonous. Whenever an engine is installed indoors the
exhaust fumes must be vented to the outside. The engine
should be installed at least two feet from any outside wall.
Using an exhaust pipe which is too long or too small can
cause excessive back pressure which will cause the engine
to heat excessively and possibly burn the valves.
Eliminate the danger of deadly carbon monoxide gas.
Remember that exhaust fumes from any gasoline or diesel
engine are very poisonous if discharged in a closed area.
If the light tower is installed indoors, you must make
provisions for venting the engine exhaust to the outside
of the building.
INSTALLING MAST CABLES
1. Insert the cable threaded stud end up through the
outer-most internal mast section base as shown in
Figure 13.
2. Continue to pull the cable up through the mast until the
ball end (Figure 13) is seated in the mast base hole.
3. Pull the cable through the top of the mast and route
the cable through the mast base pulley.
CAUTION
Failure to observe these instructions could lead to
moderate injury and property damage.
• Always
install rope in direction specified on the drum
rotation label, or brake will not function.
• Always
use rope specified in Table 3.
NOTICE
The pulley may need to be disassembled to provide
appropriate cable routing clearance.
SETUP
4. Route the cable from the pulley to the mast catcher idler
as shown in Figure 13. Wrap the cable around the idler
a minimum of five times counterclockwise.
5. Route the last cable wrap through the slot (Figure 13)
on the electric hoist drum.
6. Once the cable end is secured tightly, wind the rope
evenly around the electric hoist drum for a minimum
of five wraps. Make sure to apply tension to the cable
at all times when winding.
