Product Manual A

LOWERING THE MAST

1. Shut down the lights and engine. Allow the lights to cool 10-15 minutes before lowering the mast.

2. If the trailer is going to be moved, it is recommended that the mast is turned so the lights face toward the back

of the unit. To rotate the mast:

A. Loosen the mast rotation knob.

B. Rotate the mast until the white arrows are aligned and the metal stop tabs are touching. The winch and lights

should be facing toward the back of the unit.

C. Tighten the mast rotation knob.

Note: Magnum Power Products LLC strongly recommends that the lights be removed from the mast and stowed for

transportation. Refer to “Removing the Lights for Transportation” on page 21.

3. Press and hold the winch control toggle switch downward to collapse the mast to its lowest level. Make sure the

coiled electrical cord on the top sections of the mast does not get tangled on the mast sections.

WARNING

If the mast hangs up or the winch cable begins to develop slack, STOP IMMEDIATELY.

Excess slack in the cable could cause the mast to collapse should it free up without

warning. Contact an authorized service center.

MANUALLY LOWERING THE MAST

If the generator is not operational and the batteries do not have enough power to lower the mast, it may be

necessary to lower the mast manually.

Do not use this procedure unless it is absolutely necessary. Continuous use of this procedure

could damage the planetary gear brake of the winch. This procedure will not work if the

planetary gear brake is damaged.

1. Remove the power cables from the two terminals on

the winch motor assembly (A).

2. Remove the two flange head screws (B) securing the

winch motor assembly to the winch. Retain the screws

for reassembly.

3. Carefully remove the motor assembly (C), making

sure the two pieces do not separate.

4. Insert a 3/8” allen head wrench (D) into the sleeve

bearing.

5. Rotate the wrench counter-clockwise to lower the

mast. If any slack is observed in the cable, stop

immediately and remove the slack.

6. When the mast is completely down, reinstall the winch

motor assembly, securing it with the screws retained

in step 2.
