Trailer Lighting
WARNING
Towing Hazard
Towing the light tower trailer with inoperable trailer lights
could result in death or serious injury. Repair or replace
inoperable trailer lights.
Trailer lights are a safety feature, and are required by law.
Keep the trailer lights in proper working order.
• Check the trailer lights and wiring for damage or wear.
Repair or replace as needed.
• Check to be sure the wiring harness is secured to the
trailer and does not hang down to the ground.
• Check the trailer light housing assemblies for damage
or leaks. Use silicone or rubber sealant to seal the
lens or harness, as needed, or replace the housing
assembly. Electrical grease will help protect the
sockets and prevent corrosion.
• When replacing bulbs, be sure to use the correct
replacement bulb. A small amount of electrical grease
in the sockets will prevent corrosion.
