Applying an External Load

DANGER

NEVER grab or touch a live power cord with wet hands. The possibility exists of electrical shock, electrocution, and even death!

This light tower is equipped with two auxiliary output receptacles which are located on the control panel. One is a 120/240 VAC twist lock receptacle the other is a 120VAC GFCI receptacle.

120/240 VAC Twist-Lock Receptacle

This receptacle (Figure 20) is a dual voltage receptacle that can provide 240 VAC @25 amps or 120 VAC @25 amps X2.

Normal Shutdown

1.If a load is connected to the light tower, remove the load.

2.Place CB2 and CB3, light circuit breakers on the control panel in the OFF position.

3.Wait a few seconds and observe that all four lights are OFF.

4.Place CB4, GFCI circuit breaker on the control panel in the OFF position.

5.Place CB1, main circuit breaker on the control panel in the OFF position.

6.Let the engine idle for a few minutes with no load.

7.Turn the ignition key to the OFF position. Store key in a safe location.

8.Lower light tower mast and place in stow position as outlined in this manual.

9.Place outriggers in tow position, and remove chock blocks.

10.Store light tower in a clean, dry location out of the reach of children and unauthorized personnel.

Emergency Shutdown

1.Turn the ignition key to the OFF position and turn all circuit breakers to the OFF position.

Lowering the Mast (Extension)

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

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

Stowing the Mast (Horizontal Position)

1.Grab hold of the mast lock release lever and pull upwards. This will release the mast so that it can be placed in the horizontal (stow) position.

2.Turn the vertical mast winch counterclockwise and observe that mast begins to approach the horizontal position.

3.Continue rotating the vertical mast winch in the counterclockwise direction until the mast is seated in the mast cradle.

4.Once the mast is fully seated in the mast cradle, insert the cradle lock/release pin and secure with cotter pin to keep in place.
