Diagnostics - Metal Halide Fixtures
For light tower trailers equipped with metal halide bulbs, if a
bulb does not light within about 10 minutes after the engine
has started, determine whether the bulb is burnt out or if the
ballast has failed.
The easiest way to determine this is to replace the bulb with a
new one that you know works. If the new bulb does not light,
the ballast will need to be replaced.
Replacing Metal Halide Light Bulbs
WARNING
Burn Hazard
The light fixtures become extremely hot during use. Always
use caution and heat-resistant glove when handling the
lights or allow the lights to sufficiency cool down before
handling.
See Specifications for the correct light bulb for your light
tower trailer.
To replace the light bulb:
1. Turn off the lights and shut down the engine.
2. If the light tower is in the raised position, lower the light
tower.
3. Allow 20 minutes for the lamp fixtures and bulbs to cool.
4. Loosen the lens channel screws (H, Figure 27) and
remove the lens channel (G).
5. Remove the silicone gasket (F, Figure 27) and lens (E).
6. Remove the support clip screws (A, Figure 27) and
support clip (B).
7. Carefully remove the old bulb (C, Figure 27). Properly
dispose of the bulb according to federal, state, local or
province regulations.
