Product Manual A

SERVICE SAFETY

This unit uses high voltage circuits capable of causing serious injury or death. Only a qualified electrician

should troubleshoot or repair electrical problems occurring in this equipment.

• Before servicing the light tower, make sure the engine start switch is turned to OFF, circuit breakers

are open (off) and the negative terminal on the battery is disconnected. NEVER perform even routine

service (oil/filter changes, cleaning, etc.) unless all electrical components are shut down.

• NEVER allow water to accumulate around the base of the light tower. If water is present, DO NOT

service.

• NEVER service electrical components if clothing or skin is wet. If the unit is stored outside, check the

engine and generator for any moisture and dry the unit before use.

• NEVER wash the unit with a power washer or high pressure hose.

• Open the main circuit breaker before disconnecting battery cables.

• Keep hands, feet, and loose clothing away from moving parts on generator and engine.

• Wear heavy leather gloves when handling winch cables. Never let cables slip through bare hands.

• Make sure slings, chains, hooks, ramps, jacks, and other types of lifting devices are attached securely

and have enough weight-bearing capacity to lift or hold the equipment safely. Always remain aware

of the position of other people around you when lifting the equipment.

TOWING SAFETY

Towing a trailer requires care. Both the trailer and vehicle must be in good condition and securely fastened

to each other to reduce the possibility of an accident. Also, some states require that large trailers be

registered and licensed. Contact your local Department of Transportation office to check on license

requirements for your particular unit.

• Check that the hitch and coupling on the towing vehicle are rated equal to, or greater than, the trailer's

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).

• Check tires on trailer for tread wear, inflation, and condition.

• DO NOT tow trailer using defective parts. Inspect the hitch and coupling for wear or damage.

• Make sure the trailer hitch and the coupling are compatible. Make sure the coupling is securely fastened

to the vehicle.

• Connect safety chains in a crossing pattern under the tongue and ATTACH THE BREAKAWAY

CABLE TO THE REAR BUMPER OF THE TOWING VEHICLE. Do not attach the cable to the trailer

hitch.

• Make sure directional and brake lights on the trailer are connected and working properly.

• Check that all lug nuts holding wheels on are tight and that none are missing.

• Maximum recommended speed for highway towing is 45 mph (72 km/h). Recommended off-road

towing speed is not to exceed 10 mph (16 km/h) or less, depending on terrain.

When towing, maintain extra space between vehicles and avoid soft shoulders, curbs and sudden lane

changes. If you have not pulled a trailer before, practice turning, stopping, and backing up in an area away

from heavy traffic.

A film of grease on the coupler will extend coupler life and eliminate squeaking. Wipe the coupler clean

and apply fresh grease each time the trailer is towed.
