Unit Setup
Figure 3-1. Setup Components
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: See Component Locations for unit
height.
2. See Figure 3-1. Place the unit on firm ground that
is relatively flat (less than 5° slope), and 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 (B) and
rotate the jack 90°. Install the locking pin. Rotate
the jack handle clockwise to raise the trailer tongue
off the towing vehicle.
4. A grounding stud (C) is located on the rear frame of
the trailer near the left side outrigger. For ground-
ing requirements, follow local, state, and National
Electrical Code (NEC) regulations.
5. See Details D–E. Pull the locking pins (D) on the
outriggers (E) and pull each outrigger out until the
spring loaded locking pin snaps back into place.
Pull the locking pin on each outrigger jack (F) and
rotate each jack 180° until the jack pad is facing
down. Install the locking pin.
6. See detail G. Rotate each jack handle clockwise to
start leveling the trailer. Adjust all three jacks by
rotating the handles clockwise until they are firmly
in contact with the ground. Continue until the
wheels are approximately 1 in (2.5 cm) off the
ground (G).
