Figure 3. Major Components (Control Panel Side)

Figures 3 and 4 show the location of the controls and components for the LT12 series light tower. The function of each control is described below.

1.Mast Rotation Locking Knob — Unscrew this knob to release mast for rotation. Tighten this knob to lock mast after it is set to the desired position.

2.Mast Extension Winch — Use this winch to extend the mast to the desired height. Maximum height is approximately 31.5 feet (9.6 meters).

3.Mast Rotation Handles — Grip these handles to rotate mast to desired position.

4.Lifting Bale — Light tower can be lifted using this lifting bale. The lifting bale is balanced for a fully conﬁgured light tower. Removal of any components will unbalance the lifting bale.

5.Forklift Pockets — Light tower can be lifted using these forklift pockets. Insert the forks of the forklift as far possible into the pockets.

6.Mast Cradle Support — When towing of the light tower is required, place the tower mast into the cradle support. Make sure cradle lock/release pin has been inserted and mast is locked.

7.T-Bar— Allows the lamps to be mounted vertically or horizontally.

8.Lamps — Four 1000-watt metal-halide bulbs with a 110,000 lumens capacity each. Light coverage is typically between 5 to 7 acres.

9.Cradle Lock/Release Pin — Locks mast in cradle support and releases mast when removed.

10.Rear Jackstands — There are two jackstands located at the rear of the trailer. Use these jackstands to level and support the light tower.

11.Chock Blocks — Place these blocks (not included as part of the light tower package) under each trailer wheel to prevent rolling.

12.Outrigger Jacks — Use these 2 outrigger jacks to level and support the light tower. For more stability, the outriggers can be deployed.

13.Tongue Jackstand — Use this jackstand to support the tongue when attaching the light tower to a towing vehicle.
