USING THE LIGHT TOWER

To lower the hydraulic tower:

1 If required, start the engine. Refer to your Engine

Operator’s Manual for starting procedure.

2 Turn the lights off. Refer to “TURNING ON THE

LIGHTS”.

3 Press the tower light hydraulic lift switch DOWN to

lower the light tower to the desired height or to the

full down position.

4 When the tower reaches the bottom, hold the switch

for an additional three seconds to make sure that the

tower is at its lowest possible position.

5 If necessary, stop the engine.

USING THE LAYDOWN OPTION

Insert the crank arm into the hole in the side panel, in

front of the side panel door.

Crank the arm, by hand, to raise or lower the tower. The

engine can be off.

ENGINE OPERATION

Before starting the engine or operating the light tower,

review “SAFETY PRECAUTIONS” on page 2-2.

The Maxi-Lite II light tower is powered by a diesel

engine and generator unit.

PRE-START CHECKS

1 Check the engine oil and add oil if required. Fill the

engine with the proper grade of lubricating oil.

2 Check the fuel level and add diesel fuel as required.

3 Make sure that the air cleaner is firmly attached and

that air cleaner seals and hose clamps are properly

secured. The air cleaner element should be checked,

and replaced if necessary.

STARTING THE ENGINE

To start the engine:

1 Turn the key one position to the right.

2 Wait for glow plug indicator to light.

3 Turn the key all the way to the right, until the engine

starts.

If the engine has run out of fuel, refill the fuel tank, then

proceed with the starting procedure.

NOTICE - Don’t burn out the starter

Do not operate the starter for more than 10 seconds

without allowing 30 seconds to pass between

starting attempts. Possible starter damage could

result from excessive heat caused by cranking the

engine too long.

NOTICE - Don’t double-start

If the engine develops sufficient speed to disengage

the starter but does not keep running (a false start),

the engine must be allowed to come to a complete

stop before you try to restart it.

If the starter is engaged while the flywheel is rotating,

the starter pinion and flywheel ring gear may clash.

This could damage to the starter or flywheel ring

gear.
