SET-UP/OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The following is a step-by-step procedure for set-up and operation of the
ALLMAND MESSAGE
BOARD.
NOTE: Before transporting the trailer to the jobsite, be certain that the batteries are fully charged
using the
ALLMAND ECLIPSE charger or any commercially available minimum 50 amp
battery charger designed to charge a deep-cycle battery bank of this size. Be certain that the
battery bank is charged completely, allowing the unit to operate as long as possible before low-
voltage shutdown occurs.
1. Block the wheels of the trailer first, then remove the trailer from the towing vehicle.
2. With the sign panel directed toward the traffic, level unit off the tires using the jacks and /or
jackstands.
CAUTION: For safe operation and maximum visibility, sight through the eyelets midway up the
right frame uprights to align the unit relative to the roadway and the horizon as illustrated on the
following page. Observe the operation of the machine from varying vantage points down the
roadway to ensure that maximum visibility is maintained throughout the controlled area.
Turn power switch on and determine that the display that has been selected is the desired mode
and that it is operating properly.
CAUTION: Always check for overhead obstructions before raising sign panel.
3. Remove sign panel spring pins and erect sign panel by cranking braking winch. See
WINCH
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS on page 8.

before leaving the worksite.
