3 To adjust each light fixture, manually swivel each
fixture at its base into the working position you want.
There are two adjustments per light. The fixture and
bracket assembly rotates on the pivot point where it
attaches to the bar and the light fixture rotates
within the bracket.
ROTATING THE TOWER ARMS
With the light tower fully lowered and the lights off, the
light bar assembly and light fixtures can be manually
rotated into the position you want.
Each arm of the light tower needs to be independently
rotated (to ~less than 90 degrees) while the tower is
down.
To rotate the tower arms:
1 Push the “near” end of the arm UP, and then pull the
“far” end DOWN. This means that the end of the bar
closest to the back of the trailer is near the bottom
when you extend the light tower up.
On each arm, this is done with the black handle.
Loosen the handle, rotate the arm then, when
tightening, pull OUT on the handle to rotate it
around the obstruction on the arm, then push in to
continue tightening.
