LIGHT OPERATION
1. Once the engine is up to temperature and running smoothly,
switch main circuit breaker (A) to the “ON/I” position.
2. With main circuit breaker on, switch each individual circuit breaker
for the lights (B) to “ON/I”, one at a time.
3. The ballast indicator lights (C) will come on momentarily, then go
dark as the lights strike. As the lights warm up, the ballast indicator
lights will continue to get brighter and then remain on. This
confirms that power is coming from the ballasts to the lights.
4. If an indicator light does not come on, the ballast may need to be
serviced. If the indicator light comes on and stays lit but the related
light is not illuminated, check the bulb or the mast wiring.
5. The lights require a warm up period of 5-15 minutes before they
reach full output. If the lights are shut down, they require a cool-
down period of approximately 10 minutes before they can be
switched on again.
6. The light tower uses four 1000W bulbs. When checking or replacing the bulbs, wipe them with a clean cloth to
avoid leaving any grease, oil residue or fingerprints on the glass. Any residue can create a hot spot on the bulb,
causing premature bulb failure.
WARNING
NEVER OPERATE THE LIGHTS WITHOUT THE PROTECTIVE LENS COVER OR WITH
A LENS COVER THAT IS CRACKED OR DAMAGED. The bulbs in the light fixtures
produce high temperatures and operate under pressure. A broken or missing lens
cover could cause the bulbs to shatter, causing injury.
WARNING
Bulbs become extremely hot during use. Allow bulb fixture to cool 10-15 minutes
before handling.
VOLTAGE REGULATION (OPTIONAL)
Some units may be equipped with an electronic voltage regulator. This voltage regulator controls the output of the
generator by regulating the current into the exciter field. The voltage regulator on your unit is adjusted before shipment
from the factory. Contact Magnum Power Products LLC for additional information before attempting to adjust the
voltage regulator.
DERATING FOR ALTITUDE
All light towers are subject to derating for altitude and temperature. Although derating should not affect the operation
of the lights, it will reduce the available power for operating tools and accessories connected to the receptacles.
Typical reductions in performance are 2-4% for every 1000 ft (305 m) of elevation and 1% per 10ºF (3-5ºC) increase
in ambient air temperature over 72ºF (22ºC).
