OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Insure the light switches are turned “off”. This
prevents the engine from starting under load and
prevents electrical equipment from being dam-
aged.
STARTING THE ENGINE/GENERATOR SET
1) Unlock and open the access doors.
2) Check the oil, fuel, and coolant levels.
3) Check that the tower has been properly grounded.
4) Place the key into the ignition switch and preheat the unit for 10-30 seconds.
Never preheat for more than 30 seconds, damage
may be done to the heating elements.
4) Turn the key switch towards the start side of the key switch. On most units this is to-
wards the right.
To avoid start damage, never operate the starter
for more than 45 seconds.
5) Start the engine and listen for any unusual sounds or vibrations. Should unusual sounds
be detected, contact Terex Light Construction Service Manager.
6) Once the engine has been started and running smoothly, place the light switches in the
“ON” positions, one at a time.
7) Check each flood light for proper operation.
8) Close and latch the access doors.
Vaporous lights require a warm up period of 5-10
minutes before they will produce a full output.
