Deploying the Unit:

1. Wheel the cart to a flat level surface where the

unit will be operating.

Remove the lock pin at the base of the handle for

maneuvering the tower. Replace this lock pin once

in position to hold the handle.

2. Extend each outrigger by loosening the T handles

holding them in place. Slide each outrigger out

until it stops. Then slide the stabilizer jack down to

the ground. Tighten all T handles to hold the

outriggers in place. There are four outriggers that

are used to help stabilize the tower when

extended.

3. Locate the self-locking hand winch on the back of

the unit to raise the mast. A clockwise rotation will

raise the mast to its full height. Once the winch

comes to a stop, the mast is fully elevated and

ready to be powered by its generator.

Generator:

This unit contains an electric start as well as a

secondary pull cord.

1. Ensure there’s an

adequate amount of

fuel in the unit before

running. Open the fuel line and close the

choke.

2. Move the switch to its ON position, then the

momentary start position to electrically start

the generator.

3. Pull the cord to mechanically start the

generator while the switch is positioned ON.

4. After a few seconds, reopen the CHOKE and

the generator will power the tower.

5. Move the switch to its OFF position to power

down the unit.

6. Close the fuel valve when storing the unit.

Lowering the Mast:

1. When the job is complete, move the generator

switch to its OFF position to power down the

unit including all attached equipment.

2. Turn the hand winch counter-clockwise to

lower the mast until the light heads are no

longer supported by the winch wire.

3. Return each outrigger jack to its UP position

and push them back in. Tighten the hand

screws to hold each outrigger in place.

4. Unlatch the handle to move the tower freely.

Latch the handle using the locking pin once

positioned.

Position the Lights:

1. Each light head can be adjusted independently

by loosening the bolts on either side of the

light. Retighten these bolts once the light is in

your desired position.

Tilting the Mast:

1. Unbolt the top screw holding the mast in place

and carefully move the mast assembly

downward. A counterweight is in place to keep

the tower level.

Note: At minimum, 2-3 people are required

for folding the mast (especially with the light

heads installed). Failing to maintain proper

safety during use can result in serious injury.

Installing the Winch Mast:

The WAL-ML series light towers are factory

shipped with the light heads on a short base

for transportation. To swap this out with the

longer winch mast, follow the steps below.

1. Remove the light head from the unit by

loosening the hand bolt holding it in

place.

2. With help, lift the light head off the

mast and carefully set it aside. Be

aware of the cord while moving the

light head around.

3. Remove the two bolts holding the

temporary mast in place with two 5/8

inch wrenches. Note: Always make sure

the light head is removed before

detaching the mast.

4. Lift away the temporary mast once the

two bolts have been removed. The four

spacers provided are used only for the

temporary transport mast and are not

needed for the main mast.

5. Install the blue winch mast with the

winch facing away from the cart.

Only attach the bottom bolt at this

time. Slightly raise the mast with the

hand winch to allow room for the

bottom bolt to slide through.

6. Carefully lower the mast and attach the

light head.

Screw in the hand bolt on the light head to

keep it in place.

7. Lift the mast vertically and slightly raise

the light head some more using the

hand winch to allow the top bolt to

slide in place.

8. Tighten the two bolts and be sure they

are secured before letting go of the

mast.

The light tower is now ready to be deployed.

Removing the Winch Mast:

1. Remove the top bolt from the base of

the mast.

2. With help, carefully lower the mast

with the attached light heads toward

the ground.

3. Loosen the hand bolt and remove the

light head assembly from the mast.

4. Remove the bottom bolt from the

base of the mast to detach it from the

unit.

Optional: Replace the short transport pole

after removing the mast.

Use the four spacers supplied between the

pole and the base to keep the pole stable

when replacing the two bolts.

Once the bolts are tight and the pole is

secure, attach the light head assembly to the

top of the pole.

Tighten the hand bolt, clean up any cables,

and the tower is ready for transport.
