This manual contains DANGERS, WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, NOTICES and NOTES which must be followed to prevent the possibility of improper service, damage to the equipment, personal injury or death.
• ALWAYS extend the outriggers and level the unit before raising the mast. DO NOT retract the outriggers while the mast is up. • If for any reason any part of the mast hangs up or the winch cable develops slack while raising or lowering the mast, STOP immediately and contact an authorized service representative. • NEVER use the unit if insulation on the electrical cord is cut or worn through.
SERVICE SAFETY This unit uses high voltage circuits capable of causing serious injury or death. Only a qualified electrician should troubleshoot or repair electrical problems occurring in this equipment. • Before servicing, make sure the Engine Start switch is turned to OFF, circuit breakers are open (off) and the negative terminal on the battery is disconnected. NEVER perform even routine service (oil/ filter changes, cleaning, etc.) unless all electrical components are shut down.
REPORTING TRAILER SAFETY DEFECTS If you believe your trailer has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Generac Mobile Products. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation; and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.

LIGHT TOWER SET UP 1. For maximum light coverage, locate the unit at ground level or in a spot higher than the area being illuminated by the lamps. WARNING The mast extends up to 25 ft (7.6 m). Make sure area above the unit is open and clear of overhead wires and obstructions. H DETAIL C J DETAIL D F D DETAIL G CD E G A B DETAIL H 00155 2. Place the unit on firm ground that is relatively flat, then block the wheels to keep it from moving (A). This will make it easier to level the unit. 3.
RAISING THE MAST 1. Set up and level the unit. Refer to “Light Tower Set Up” on page 14. WARNING The unit must be leveled with the outriggers extended before raising the mast. The outriggers must remain extended while the mast is up. Failure to level the unit or extend the outriggers will severely reduce stability and could allow the unit to tip and fall. 2. Check the mast cables for excessive wear or damage. Make sure the cables are properly centered in each pulley (A).

PRESTART CHECKLIST Before starting the unit, all items in the prestart checklist must be completed. Read and understand ALL safety sections at the beginning of this manual. Ensure all maintenance procedures are up to date. For more information, refer to “General Maintenance ” on page 24 and Basic Maintenance Schedules beginning on page 25. The unit must be level. The unit must be dry. Check for any water inside, on, or near the unit, dry if needed.
AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN This unit is equipped with a low oil pressure and high coolant temperature automatic shutdown system. This system will automatically shut off the fuel supply to stop the engine if oil pressure drops too low or the engine exceeds normal operating temperature. Return the switch to the “OFF” position to reset the unit after you have determined the cause of the shutdown.
WET STACKING The unit is powered by a diesel engine. Diesel engines are susceptible to wet stacking if lightly loaded. Wet stacking occurs when an engine is run at less than 30% of its full load capacity, causing unburned fuel to accumulate in the exhaust system. Wet stacking can be detected by continuous black exhaust when the unit is under a constant load. It can also cause fouling of injectors and buildup on engine valves.
LOWERING THE MAST ELECTRICALLY LOWERING THE MAST 1. Shut down the lights and engine. Allow the lights to cool 10-15 minutes before lowering the mast. 2. If the trailer is going to be moved, it is recommended that the mast is turned so the lights face toward the back of the unit. To rotate the mast: A. Loosen the mast rotation knob. B. Rotate the mast until the white arrows are aligned and the metal stop tabs are touching. The winch and lights should be facing toward the back of the unit. C.
REMOVING THE LIGHTS FOR TRANSPORTATION 1. On units equipped with quick disconnect fittings for the lights, disconnect the power cords from the junction box at the top of the mast. Replace the dust caps on the junction box. On hard wired units, remove the junction box cover, located on the top of the mast, and disconnect ONLY the mast light wires from the connectors. To release the mast light wires from the connectors, flip the locking levers down and pull out the appropriate wires. 2.
LIFTING THE UNIT When lifting the unit, attach any slings, chains or hooks directly to the central lift point. The central lift point is located on the mast between the two forklift pockets. Central Lift Point 1. Make sure the equipment being used to lift the unit has sufficient capacity. For approximate weights, refer to Specifications beginning on page 9. Upper Forklift Pockets 2. Always remain aware of people and objects around the unit while moving. 3.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE Poorly maintained equipment can become a safety hazard.
