Figure 3, 4, and 5 show the location of the controls and
components for the LT6D light tower. The function of each
component 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 31.5 feet
(9.60 meters).
3. D-Ring Lifting Point — Attach a suitable lifting device
to this lifting point capable of lifting 2000 lbs. (257
kg). The D-ring lifting point has been positioned for a
fully balanced/configured light tower. Removal of any
components will unbalance the light tower.
4. Forklift Pockets — The light tower can be lifted by
inserting the forks of a forklift as far possible into the
pockets.
5. Cradle Lock/Release pin — Locks mast in cradle
support and releases mast when removed.
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. Lights— Four 1000-watt metal-halide bulbs with a
110,000 lumens capacity each. Light coverage is
typically between 5 to 7 acres.
8. T-Bar — Allows the lights to be mounted vertically or
horizontally.
9. vertical mast Winch — Use this winch to raise the mast
to the vertical position.
10. Side Reflectors — There are four reflectors located on
the side of the light tower. The front reflectors are amber
and the rear reflectors are red.
11. mast Lock/Release Lever — When the mast is in the full
vertical position, this lever must be in the locked position
(down).To place the mast in the stow position, push the
lever upward to release the mast.
12. Ball Hitch Coupler — Attach the trailer's 2-inch coupler
to the towing vehicle. Use only the specified ball diameter
as indicated on your coupler. Use of any other ball
diameter will create an extremely dangerous condition
which can result in separation of the coupler and ball
or ball failure.
