DANGER
Electrocution Hazard
• Raising the light tower in the presence of electrical
power lines will result in death or serious injury. Always
check overhead wires and obstructions before raising or
lowering the light tower.
• Always follow the rules or regulations for your worksite,
and state, province and national electric code for
maintaining a safe distance from overhead wires.
The work site must be clear of overhead obstructions such as
power lines, trees, etc. Keep in mind the maximum height of
the light tower when fully raised. See Specifications .
Ground Surface
WARNING
Rollover Hazard
Positioning the light tower trailer on soft, unstable or unlevel
ground could cause trailer rollover, resulting in death or
serious injury. Always position the trailer on a firm, level and
stable surface and deploy the outriggers before raising the
light tower.
• Do not set up the light tower trailer on an incline of more
than 2.8° (5% grade) front-to-back and side-to-side.
• Do not position or set up the light tower trailer on unlevel
or unstable ground. Set up on smooth, flat and solid
ground surfaces only.
Wind
WARNING
Rollover Hazard
Operating with the light tower raised in winds exceeding 55
mph (88 km/h) could cause trailer tip-over resulting in death
or serious injury. Do not operate with the light tower raised
in winds exceeding 55 mph (88 km/h).
When the light tower is in the operating position 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 sustained winds of 55
mph (88 km/h) with the light tower extended to full height and
the outriggers in position on a firm, level surface.

raising the light tower.
To deploy the outriggers:
1. Lift the outrigger locking pin (A, Figure 14).
2. Slide the outrigger (B, Figure 14) out until the pin locks
the outrigger in the operating position.
When initially shipped from the factory, the outrigger
jacks are positioned toward the front of the machine
(not shown) for shipping purposes. They should be
repositioned toward the rear of the machine as shown in
Figure 14. To reposition, slide the outrigger completely
out, rotate the outrigger so the jack is positioned toward
