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.

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.
