Laws Pertaining to Spark Arresters

Some states require that in certain locations, spark arresters be used on internal combustion engines. A

spark arrester is a device designed to prevent the discharge of sparks or flames from the engine exhaust.

It is often required when operating equipment on forested land to reduce the risk of fires. Consult the engine

distributor or local authorities and make sure you comply with regulations regarding spark arresters.

LIGHT TOWER OPERATION 1A

1.2 Operating Safety

Before using light tower be sure you read and understand all instructions! Equipment operated improperly or by

untrained personnel can be dangerous! Read the operating instructions and familiarize yourself with the location and

proper use of all instruments and controls. Inexperienced operators should receive instruction from someone familiar

with the equipment before being allowed to operate or set up the machine.

The area immediately surrounding the light tower

should be clean, neat, and free of debris.

Position and operate light tower on a firm, level

surface.

Never start a unit in need of repair.

Lower tower when not in use, or if high winds or

electrical storms are expected in the area.

Make certain light tower is well grounded and securely

fastened to a good earthen ground.

The tower extends up to 30 ft. (9 m). Make sure area

above trailer is open and clear of overhead wires and

obstructions.

Bulbs become extremely hot in use! Allow bulb and

fixture to cool 10–15 minutes before handling.

Keep area behind trailer clear of people while raising

and lowering mast! Never raise, lower or turn mast

while unit is operating!

Trailer must be leveled and outriggers extended

before raising tower. Outriggers must remain ex-

tended while tower is up.

If for any reason any part of mast hangs up or winch

cable develops slack while raising or lowering tower,

STOP immediately! Contact an authorized WACK-

ER service representative.

NEVER remove safety pin or pull mast locking pin

while tower is up!

NEVER use tower if insulation on electrical cord is

cut or worn through.

NEVER operate lights without protective lens cover

in place or with a lens cover that is cracked or

damaged!

NEVER adjust mast while unit is operating.

NEVER raise the mast or operate the light tower in

high winds.

DO NOT run engine indoors or in an area with poor

ventilation unless exhaust hoses are used.

DO NOT fill fuel tank near an open flame, while

smoking, or while engine is running.

DO NOT fill tank in an enclosed area with poor

ventilation.

DO NOT touch or lean against hot exhaust pipes or

engine cylinder.

DO NOT operate with the fuel tank cap loose or

missing.

DO NOT remove engine coolant cap while engine is

hot.

DO NOT clean air filter with gasoline or other types

of low flash point solvents.

Keep area around hot exhaust pipes free of debris to

reduce the chance of an accidental fire.

1.3 Operator Safety while using Internal Combustion Engines

Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation and fueling! Failure to follow the safety guidelines

described below could result in severe injury or death. Also read and follow all safety warnings described in the Engine

Operator's Manual. A copy of this manual was supplied with unit when it was shipped from the factory.

1A-4

1A OPERATION LIGHT TOWER

1.4 Towing Safety

Towing a trailer requires care! Both the trailer and vehicle must be in good condition and securely fastened to each other

to reduce the possibility of an accident.

Open main circuit breaker before disconnecting bat-

tery cables.

Keep hands, feet, and loose clothing away from mov-

ing parts on generator and engine.

Replace all missing and hard-to-read labels. Labels

provide important operating instructions and warn of

dangers and hazards.

Make sure slings, chains, hooks, ramps, jacks, and

other types of lifting devices are attached securely and

have enough weight-bearing capacity to lift or hold the

equipment safely. Always remain aware of the posi-

tion of other people around you when lifting the equip-

ment.

1.5 Service Safety

Replace all guards and safety devices immediately

after servicing.

Before servicing light tower, make sure engine start

switch is turned to OFF, circuit breakers are open (off),

and negative terminal on battery is disconnected.

NEVER perform even routine service (oil/filter changes,

cleaning, etc.) unless all electrical components are

shut down.

Never allow water to accumulate around the base of

the light tower set. If water is present, DO NOT

service!

Never service electrical components if clothing or skin

is wet.

Check that the hitch and coupling on the towing

vehicle are rated equal to, or greater than, the trailer's

"gross vehicle weight rating" (GVWR).

Inspect the hitch and coupling for wear or damage.

DO NOT tow trailer using defective parts!

Make sure the coupling is securely fastened to the

vehicle.

Check tires on trailer for tread wear, inflation, and

condition.

Connect safety chains.

Make sure directional, backup, and trailer lights are

connected and working properly.

Check that lug nuts holding wheels are tight and that

none are missing.

Maximum recommended speed for highway towing is

45 MPH. Recommended off-road towing speed is not

to exceed 10 MPH or less depending on terrain.

If light tower is equipped with surge brakes, connect

breakaway chain safety hook to the bumper or rear of

the vehicle.

Test surge or electric brakes on light tower and brakes

on towing vehicle to be sure they are operating

properly, if light tower is so equipped.

The optional electric brake system requires a cab-

mounted electronic brake controller. Refer to opera-

tion instructions for your cab-mounted electric brake

controller for proper brake actuator adjustment and

brake system operation.

ALWAYS refer to the applicable Department of Trans-

portation regulations before towing.

HIGH VOLTAGE! 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.

1A OPERATION LIGHT TOWER

The tower extends up to 30 ft. (9 m). Make sure area

above trailer is open and clear of overhead wires

and obstructions.

1.11 Locating Trailer

1. For maximum light coverage locate tower at ground

level or in a spot higher than the area being lighted.

2. Position trailer on a firm, flat surface clear of overhead

wires and obstructions. Be sure that there is enough

area for outrigger extensions to be fully extended.

3. Connect ground stud (l) located on trailer frame to a

good earthen ground.

1.12 Leveling Trailer

Trailer must be leveled and outriggers extended

before raising tower. Outriggers must remain ex-

tended while tower is up. Failure to level trailer or

extend outriggers will severely reduce the stability of

the unit and could allow tower to tip and fall.

1. Pull locking pin on tongue jack (a) and rotate jack 90°

as shown in illustration above. Make sure jack snaps

into position.

Block or chock trailer wheels (b). Crank jack down to

raise trailer tongue off vehicle.

2. Pull outrigger lock pin (c) to release outrigger (see

opposite page). Pull both outrigger extensions (d) out

until you feel pin lock back in place. Rotate jacks (e)

down until they snap into position.

3. Rotate rear jack (f) down, as shown, making sure it

snaps into place.

4. Extend jack(s) on the highest side(s) of the trailer until

they rest firmly on the ground. Extend remaining jacks

until trailer is level.

CAUTION: Maximum recommended speed for high-

way towing is 45 MPH. Recommended off-road towing

speed is not to exceed 10 MPH or less depending on

terrain.

1.14 Preparing Trailer for Towing or

Lifting

1. On units equipped with electric winch check that

telescoping lock pin (m) is in place and secured with

safety pin.

On units using manual winches check that mast

cradle lock pin (j) is in place and secured with safety

pin.

2. Make sure doors are properly latched.

3. Return outriggers to their travel position (i). Check

that outrigger bars and jacks are locked in place.
