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.
