Raising Tower (Manual Winch System)
See Graphic: wc_gr005075
NEVER
raise the tower or operate the Light Tower in high winds.
NEVER
raise the tower while the engine is running.
Do not move the Light Tower while it is operating.
HIGH VOLTAGE! DO NOT
use the Light Tower if insulation on
electrical cord is cut or worn through. Repair or replace the cord before
using. Bare wires in contact with the metal frame of the trailer or tower
can cause electrocution.
DO NOT
position the Light Tower under electrical power lines.
NEVER
allow anyone to stand near the rear of the unit while raising the
tower.
The Light Tower includes two separate winches—one for lifting the
tower to the vertical position, the other for raising the tower. Each
winch is an automatic brake-type winch that automatically brakes
when the handle is released. The handle must be rotated to wind in the
cable as well as to unwind the cable.
NEVER touch the winch pawl!
Releasing the pawl may cause the
tower to fall.
4.5.1
Check winch cables
(n)
for wear or damage, and make sure they are
resting properly in pulleys. Do not use the Light Tower if either winch
cable is damaged.
4.5.2
Remove the cradle locking pin
(j)
from the cradle.
4.5.3
Check the operation of the tilt winch
(o)
by rotating the winch handle
1/4-turn clockwise (“cable in” direction). The winch pawl must engage
winch gear teeth. When operating properly, the winch pawl will make
a “clicking” sound when the winch handle is rotated clockwise. Do not
attempt to raise the tower if the winch is damaged or not operating
properly.
Pinching/crushing hazards. Moving parts can crush or cut extremities.
Keep hands and fingers clear of pinch points when raising the tower
