PRE - OPERATION SETUP
Work Site Safety Considerations
Height
DANGER! Electrocution Hazard. Always
check for overhead wires and obstructions
before raising or lowering the light tower.
Allow 35 feet (10.6 m) of clearance.
Ground Surface
WARNING! Rollover Hazard. Do not set up
on an incline of more than 5 ° front-to-
back and side-to-side.
WARNING! Rollover Hazard. Do not posi-
tion or set up on unlevel or unstable
ground. Only set up on smooth, flat and
solid ground surfaces.
Wind
WARNING! Rollover Hazard. Do not oper-
ate with the light tower extended in winds
exceeding 53mph (85.3 km/h).
When the light tower is in the operating posi-
tion it is located in the middle of a three-point
outrigger system for optimum balance and
stability. This system was engineered to allow
the light tower to remain operational in sus-
tained winds of 53 mph (85.3 km/h) with the
light tower extended to full height and the out-
riggers in position.
Pre-Operation Check List
Always perform the following checks before
traveling to the work site and before opera-
tion. Repair or replace any components as
required before operation.
NOTICE: See Appropiate section of the Engine
Operator’s Manual and Generator’Operator’s
Manual for additional pre-operation checks.
After completing the pre-operation check list,
operate the light tower through a complete
operation cycle.
 Visually inspect the equipment to ensure that
all instructions and decals are in place and
legible.
 Inspect the light tower locking bar latch as-
sembly, which locks the light tower in the ver-
tical position, for proper operation.
 Check the hitch assembly and safety chains.
 Check the outriggers and jacks to make sure
they operate properly.
 Inspect the light assemblies for damage and
test for proper operation.
 Inspect electrical wiring for signs of damage.
WARNING! Electrocution Hazard. Do not oper-
ate the light tower if the insulation on the
electrical cord or other electrical wiring is cut
or worn, or if bare wires are exposed.
 Check the ground rod cable and the ground
lug. Make sure they are clean, undamaged
and functional.
