LT-12 SERIES LIGHT TOWER — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
■
ALWAYS refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from sparks
and open flames.
■
ALWAYS use extreme caution when
working with flammable liquids. When
refueling, stop the engine and allow it to
cool. DO NOT
smoke around or near the
machine. Fire or explosion could result from
fuel vapors, or if fuel is spilled on a hot engine.
■
NEVER operate the light tower/generator in an explosive
atmosphere or near combustible materials. An explosion or
fire could result causing severe
bodily harm or even death.
■
Topping-off to filler port is dangerous, as it tends to spill fuel.
■
ALWAYS make sure that the light tower/generator is secure
on level ground so that it cannot slide or shift around,
endangering workers. Also keep the immediate area free of
bystanders.
■
ALWAYS use a
trained technician
to install and remove a
floodlight, or replace any damaged fixture wiring.
■
NEVER leave any grease or oil residue on glass surface
when replacing or removing bulbs. This can create hot spots,
reducing the service life of the bulb or causing outer jacket
to burst.
■
ALWAYS make sure trailer is leveled with all outriggers
extended before raising tower. Outriggers must remain
extended while tower is up.
■
ALWAYS keep area behind trailer clear of people while
raising and lowering mast.
■
NEVER remove safety pin or pull mast locking pin while
tower is in an raised position!
■
CHECK the mast and winch cables for wear. If any problem
occurs when lower or raising the tower STOP immediately!
Contact a trained technician for assistance.
■
NEVER pivot or retract mast while unit is operating.
■
The engine of this light tower/generator requires an adequate
free flow of cooling air. NEVER operate the generator in any
enclosed or narrow area where free
flow of the air is restricted. If the air
flow is restricted it will cause serious
damage to the generator engine
and may cause injury to people.
Remember the engine of the light
tower/generator gives off DEADLY
carbon monoxide gas.
