Owner’s Manual for MLT6SMD Light Tower 33
Figure 3-6. Convenience Outlets
See Figure 3-6. The circuit breakers are labeled with the
corresponding voltage for the outlet they protect. The
standard outlet panel is equipped with the following
outlets:
• One 240V/30A Twist-lock (A)
• One 120V/20A GFCI (B)
NOTE:
Do not pull more than a total of 5000W from the
combined outlet receptacles. This will overload the
generator and cause the main circuit breaker to trip.
Should the breaker trip, switch off the lights, remove some
of the loads connected to the outlets and wait ten minutes
before turning them back on.
With all of the lights off, the full generator output may be
used with the 240V twist-lock outlet.
Shutting Down the Unit
Check with personnel using power supplied by the unit
and let them know the power is going to be turned off.
Verify the power shutdown will not create any hazards by
accidentally turning off equipment that needs to remain
running (pumps, compressors, lights, etc.).
1. Remove all loads from the outlets.
2. Switch the lights off using the controller.
3. Switch the outlet breaker to the OFF (O) position.
4. Press the Stop (O) button.
5. After the unit shuts down, move the Control Power
switch to the OFF (O) position.
NOTE: Disconnect the battery if the unit is to be stored
for an extended period. Refer to the engine operator’s
manual for additional extended storage procedures.
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
Control Power switch to the STOP position to reset the
unit after the cause of shutdown has been determined.
Lower Radiator Hose Heater (If
Equipped)
Use and Maintenance
The lower radiator hose heater is designed to prevent
engine coolant from freezing in extreme cold weather
conditions. While the heater is designed to be operated
overnight if necessary, two to five hours of heating just
prior to starting is usually sufficient for proper engine
starting.
NOTE: Use the lower radiator hose heater only in its
designated location. Improper use can damage the
engine.
Perform the following steps when operating a unit
equipped with a lower radiator hose heater.
1. Verify that the unit is level so as to maintain proper
orientation of the heater while it is in operation.
2. Verify that the cooling system is full of the proper
mixture of water and engine coolant before each
heater use.
3. Use only an undamaged, outdoor rated, three-
prong grounded 120VAC extension cord with a
minimum amperage rating of 10A. Connect the
cord to a properly grounded 120VAC, GFCI outlet.
4. Before starting the engine, unplug the extension
cord from the power first, then unplug the heater
cord set from the extension cord.
Tandem Tow (If Equipped)
The tandem tow hitch option (A) allows the operator to
tow a second MLT6SC Light Tower in series behind the
unit equipped with the hitch.
