TOWING INSTRUCTIONS
Before towing the MAXI-LITE the trailer should be inspected visually to insure that
the following operations have been completed.
1. Hitch is securely attached to towing vehicle (safety chains secure).
2. All outriggers and jacks are retracted and secured.
3. Tower is lowered.
4. Light fixtures are positioned for transport.
5. Doors are closed and secure.
6. Check tires for adequate air
pressure
7. Taillights are connected and operating (if equipped).
8. Ground rod is removed from ground and secured in the trailer
GROUND ROD INSTRUCTIONS (If so equipped)
1. Remove optional ground rod stowed just inside the left door (attached to the
lower frame)
2. Unroll the electrical wire lead from the ground rod.
3. Attach the ground rod lead to the grounding lug located near the ballast compartment.
4. Drive the ground rod a minimum of 2 1/2 FT into the earth for adequate electrical grounding.
If this is not possible consult your local qualified electrician.
5. AFTER SHUTDOWN OF ENGINE: Remove the ground rod from the earth, remove lead from
the trailer ground lug and store ground rod inside left door.
TOWING AND STARTING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE STARTING
1. Fill the engine with the right grade of lubricating oil (see pg. 19) and to correct level (check
dipstick).
2. Ensure there is an adequate supply of fuel.
3. Ensure
that the air cleaner is firmly attached, the air canister seals and the hose clamps
are properly sealed. Air cleaner element should be checked and replaced if necessary.
4. Install the ground rod.
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
By depressing the start assist switch, the fuel solenoid is energized. The solenoid plunger is
drawn into the coil and activates the fue! control linkage to RUN position. When the engine starts,
adequate engine oil pressure at the oil pressure switch will maintain the solenoid in the energized
position. The start assist switch can be released as soon as the engine starts. A 10A inline fuse
protects the solenoid from electrical damage.
LOW OIL PRESSURE SHUTOFF
SYSTEM
Should a low oil pressure condition occur (less than 5 PSI), the pressure sending unit breaks the
circuit between the battery and the fuel solenoid, allowing the spring load to immediately move
the fuel control to the shutoff position.
HIGH COOLANT TEMPERATURE SHUTOFF SYSTEM
Should a high coolant temperature condition occur, the temperature sending unit breaks the cir-
cuit between the battery and the fuel solenoid, allowing the spring load to immediately move the
fuel control to the shutoff position.
