4. Rotate the mast by loosening the mast rotation knob at the bottom of the mast (C). Turn the mast until the
lights face in the desired direction and then tighten the mast rotation knob to secure the mast in position.
WARNING
Never raise or lower the mast while the unit is operating.
RAISING THE MAST WITH ELECTRIC WINCH OPTION
1. Set up and level the unit. Refer to “Light Tower Set
Up” on page 17.
WARNING
The unit must be leveled with
the outriggers extended before
raising the mast. The
outriggers must remain
extended while the mast is up.
Failure to level the unit or
extend the outriggers will
severely reduce the stability
and could allow the unit to tip
and fall.
2. Check the mast cables for excessive wear or
damage. Make sure the cables are properly cen-
tered in each pulley (A). Check the electrical
cord for damage.
WARNING
Do not start the unit if
insulation on the electrical
cord is cut or worn through.
Bare wires in contact with the
mast or frame may energize the
unit and cause electrocution.
Repair or replace a damaged
cord.
3. Press and hold the winch control switch (B)
upward to telescope the mast to the desired
height. Extend the mast slowly, making sure that
the coiled electrical cord is extending at the top
sections of the mast. If, for any reason, the
winch cable begins to develop slack or any of
the mast sections get stuck, STOP IMMEDI-
ATELY and contact an authorized service center.

CAUTION
Do not extend the mast beyond the colored mark on the lower mast section (C). A limit
switch on the main mast section will disconnect power to the upper electric winch to prevent
overextending the mast.
