INSTALLING and USING THE GROUND
ROD
The ground rod is a safety device that reduces the
chance of personal injury from stray electrical currents.
Therefore, Allmand recommends using the ground rod
whenever the light tower is in use. It is the user’s
responsibility to determine the requirements and/or
applicability of local, state, or national electrical code,
which governs the use of the ground rod.
To install the ground rod:
1 Drive the ground rod (provided) fully into the ground
using a heavy hammer, such as a single jack.
2 Attach the grounding cable (provided) to the rod and
then to the grounding lug on the trailer. See
