LIFTING THE TRAILER

When lifting the light tower and trailer, attach any slings, chains or

hooks directly to the central lift point. The central lift point is located

on the mast between the two forklift pockets.

1. Make sure the equipment being used to lift the light tower has

sufficient capacity.

Note: Refer to Specifications on page 9 for approximate weights.

2. Always remain aware of the position of other people and

objects around you as you move the unit.

3. Use the upper or lower forklift pockets with care. Approach the

unit as perpendicular as possible to avoid any damage to the

unit. Make sure the forklift tines are free of any obstructions

before lifting.

SERVICING THE UNIT

Poorly maintained equipment can become a safety hazard. In order for the equipment to operate safely and properly

over a long period of time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary. NEVER perform even routine

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

equipment, always follow the instructions listed below.

1. Before servicing the unit, make sure the engine start switch is turned to “OFF/O”.

2. Attach a “DO NOT START” sign to the control panel. This will notify everyone that the unit is being serviced and

will reduce the chance of someone inadvertently trying to start the unit.

3. Never wash the unit with a high pressure hose or with any kind of power washer. Never wash the engine block

or fuel tank with a power washer or steam cleaner. Water may enter the cabinet and collect in the generator

windings or other electrical parts, causing damage. If the unit is stored outside, check for water inside the cabinet

and generator and dry the unit thoroughly before starting.

DAILY MAINTENANCE CHECKS

Check the engine oil level daily before starting the engine. DO NOT start the light tower if the oil level is below the

“ADD” mark on the dipstick. The normal operating level for the engine oil is anywhere in the crosshatch pattern

between the “FULL” and “ADD” markings. Add oil to the engine only if the level is below the “ADD” mark on the

bottom of the crosshatch pattern. DO NOT OVERFILL the crankcase. Consult the engine operator’s manual for the

proper grade of oil, including special operating conditions such as a change in season or climate.

Check the coolant level daily. The coolant is checked by visually inspecting the level in the coolant overflow jug,

located near the radiator. The normal operating level is anywhere between the “FULL” and “ADD” markings on the

overflow jug, with the optimum level noted as “NORMAL RANGE.” Coolant may be added directly to the overflow

jug WHEN THE ENGINE IS STOPPED AND COMPLETELY COOL. Consult the engine operator’s manual for coolant

recommendations and proper mixture.
