Section 3: Operation
Light Tower Setup
1. For maximum light coverage, position the unit at
ground level or in a spot higher than the area being
illuminated by the lamps.
NOTE: The mast extends up to 23 ft (7m).
Figure 3-1. Set Up Outriggers and Jacks
2. See Figure 3-1. Place the unit on firm ground that
is relatively flat, and then block the wheels to keep
it from moving. This will make it easier to level the
unit.
3. Pull the locking pin (A) on the tongue jack (E) and
rotate the jack 90°. Reinstall the locking pin. Rotate
the jack handle clockwise to raise the trailer tongue
off the towing vehicle.
4. A grounding stud (B) is located on the rear frame of
the trailer near the left side outrigger. For
grounding requirements, follow local, state, or
National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines.
5. See Details C—D. Pull the locking pins (C) on the
outriggers (D) and pull each outrigger out until the
spring loaded locking pin snaps back into place.
Pull the locking pin on the outrigger jack and rotate
each jack 90° so the jack pad is facing down.
Reinstall the locking pin.
6. See Detail E. Rotate each jack handle clockwise to
start leveling the trailer. Adjust all three jacks by
rotating their handles clockwise until they are firmly
in contact with the ground. Continue until the
wheels are approximately one inch (2.5 cm) off the
ground (F).
7. Before raising the mast, it may be necessary to
adjust the lamps. The lamps may be adjusted up,
down, left or right by simply aiming them in the
desired direction.
