STARTING THE LIGHT TOWER
1. Check that the main circuit breaker and individual circuit breakers for each of the lights are in the “OFF/O” position.
Note: When the red “TURN MAIN BREAKER OFF” light is
illuminated, the main circuit breaker must be turned “OFF/O”.
2. Turn the key on the engine start switch to the left “GLOW
PLUG” position and hold the key in place for five seconds,
or until the glow plug indicator turns red (there is no glow
plug indicator on Isuzu units). Turn the key to the right
“START” position and hold it until the engine cranks and
starts running. Release the key, it will move to the “RUN”
position.
Note: For cold weather conditions refer to the engine opera-
tor’s manual for appropriate glow plug interval.
Do not crank the engine longer than 10 seconds at a time. If the engine will not start, wait
30 seconds to allow the starter motor to cool and then repeat the starting procedure.
Excessive cranking will cause damage to the starter.
Note: If oil pressure is not obtained within 30 seconds after the key is switched to the “RUN” position, the low-oil
automatic shutdown will turn off the fuel supply, stopping the engine. Check the oil level and turn the key to the “OFF”
position to reset the oil pressure timer before attempting to restart the engine.
3. Once the engine is running, allow it to reach normal operating temperature before switching on any loads.
AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN
This unit is equipped with a low oil pressure and high coolant temperature automatic shutdown system. This system
will automatically shut off the fuel supply to stop the engine if oil pressure drops too low or the engine exceeds normal
operating temperature. Return the switch to the “OFF” position to reset the unit after you have determined the cause
of the shutdown.
