operation

2.As soon as the pin clears the travel position hole, release it and continue sliding out the outrigger. The pin must snap into the outrigger locking hole in the extended position.

3.After extending all outriggers, rotate all trailer jack stands into the foot down position, then turn the crank handle on the jackstands clockwise to lower it and level the light tower.

4.Check behind the light tower and make sure all personnel and objects are clear of the mast.

Deploying the Mast to Vertical Position

Refer to Figure 16 for the location of components:

1.To release the mast from the mast cradle support, pull the retaining pin out of the cradle lock/release pin. Pull the cradle lock/release pin. This will unlock the mast from the horizontal position.

2.Remove the mast lock/release pin before raising tower to the vertical position.

3.To place the mast in the vertical position, turn the vertical mast winch hand lever clockwise until the mast is pointing upwards at 90 degrees.

4.Once the mast is in the vertical position, insert the mast lock/release pin to prevent the mast from falling.

Raising the Mast

Once the tower mast has been locked into its vertical position, the mast can now be raised. The tower allows the lamps to be extended upwards in excess of 30 feet.

Refer to Figure 16 for location of components.

1.Turn the mast extension winch clockwise and observe that the mast begins to extend upwards.

2.Continue turning the winch in the clockwise direction until the desired height has been reached.

3.Release the winch. This winch is of the self-locking type. The tension on the cable will keep the mast in place.

Lowering the Mast

1.Turn the mast extension winch counterclockwise, and observe that the mast begins to lower.

2.Continue turning the winch counterclockwise until the mast has been fully retracted (slack in the cable).

Stowing the Mast to Horizontal Position

Refer to Figure 16 for the location of components:

1.Remove the mast lock/release pin to allow the mast section to be lowered to the horizontal position. Pull out the mast lock handle to unlatch.

2.Turn the vertical mast winch counterclockwise and observe that mast begins to approach the horizontal position. The mast lock handle can now be released.

3.Continue turning the vertical mast winch in the counterclockwise direction. As the mast approaches the mast cradle support, pull the retaining pin and then the cradle lock/release pin to allow the mast to rest in the cradle.

4.Once the mast is resting in the mast cradle support, insert the cradle lock/release pin and secure with retaining pin to keep mast in place.

Rotating the Mast

To change the direction that the lamps are facing, the mast can be rotated.

Refer to Figure 16 for the location of components.

1.With the mast in the deployed position (vertical), unscrew the mast rotation locking knob to release the mast for rotation.

2.Grip the mast rotation handles and rotate the mast until the lamps are facing the desired direction.

3.When the lamps are facing the desired direction, tighten the mast rotation lock knob to lock the mast in place.
