This manual describes standard inspections, operation and servicing with the normal safety precautions required for normal servicing and operating conditions. Operators and maintenance personnel must be safety conscious and alert to recognize potential operating or servicing safety hazards at all times. They should immediately take the necessary precautions to ensure safe operation and servicing of the machine. Be aware of operating risks that may be created by weather changes. Follow the correct procedures in the event of heavy rain or electrical storm. Lower tower when not in use, or if high winds or electrical storms are expected in the area. Use protective clothing and safety equipment: gloves, safety boots, safety hard hat, goggles, ear protection, and dust masks when necessary. Know all side clearances and overhead obstructions for safe operation of the machine. ALWAYS make sure area above the tower is open and clear of any kind of obstruction. Position and operate the lighting tower on a firm surface. The machine must be levelled and outriggers extended before raising tower. Keep area around the machine clear of people while raising and lowering the mast. ...
SAFETY RULES ELECTRICAL HAZARD Use jumper cables only. Improper use can result in severe damage and safety risk. NEVER use the machine if insulation on electrical cord is cut or worn through. NEVER operate lights without protective lens cover in place or with a lens cover that is cracked or damaged!

LIGHTING TOWER USE LIGHTING TOWER POSITIONING When choosing a location for the lighting tower, bear in mind the following: ‐ Assess site conditions carefully before positioning and operating the machine. ‐ The working area should be relatively level and solid. This will ensure smooth, trouble‐free telescoping of the mast. (which may not telescope properly if the unit is not level.) ‐ Do not position the tower in the vicinity of overhead cables or power lines! ‐ Never raise the mast or operate the tower without properly jacking the unit! ‐ For maximum light coverage and illumination efficiency, locate the unit at ground level or in a spot higher than the area being illuminated by the lamps. ‐ Do not move the tower with the mast raised! STABILIZING THE UNIT Stabilizing the unit as follows: Hold the stabilizer with one hand and pull the locking pin to release it. Pull the stabilizer outward and resting it on the ground. (picture A) Secure the tensioner (1) to the pin (2). Adjust the stabilizers extension keeping the pin (3) raised and pulling out the part (4) ...
LIGHTING TOWER USE DIRECTING THE FLOODLIGHTS The tower can be rotated up to 360 degrees in order to direct the light as required. LEDs can be opened to fan manually (A). Each LED can be tilted forward manually (B). This way the floodlights can be directed either vertically or horizontally. SWITCH ON THE FLOODLIGHTS Connect the unit to the mains using the plug (2). Switch on the floodlights using the switch (1). ...
LIGHTING TOWER USE ADJUST THE MAST HEIGHT Open the first knob, which allows you to free up the movement of the first section of mast. Lifting the first section completely, acting on the hand pump. A section completely raised, proceed to lock it through the handwheel, but only after having stopped the air inlet in the mast. Loosen the second handwheel and repeat the pumping operation and then locking upon completion of lifting. Repeat the operation until you reach the desired height or the complete extension of the column. LOWER THE MAST Proceed to the lowering of one section at a time, starting from the last one that was raised. Then loosen the lower handwheel, act on the valve to discharge the air contained in the mast. Proceed as you go with the next handwheel until the operation is complete. Lock all the handwheels ATTENTION! In case of particularly rigid temperatures, difficulties can occur in the complete lowering of the column for internal ice formation; Normally the weight mounted on the top of the column is sufficient to remove the possible presence of ice. Otherwise use simple denatured ethyl alcohol in the area of the terminal rings at the end of each single extension; if the ice persists, use a heater (max 50 °) in order to remove the thicker ice sheet that prevents the closing of the extensions and subsequently provide for the discharge of the water introduced in the form of condensation of moisture present in the air of filling. This practice must however be adopted on a weekly basis. The limit of use is set at temperatures below ‐ 40 °C. Manual pump ...
LIGHTING TOWER USE MAST MAINTENANCE At the end of each period of use, during the descent phase of the column, carry out an accurate cleaning of the exterior of the equipment with a cloth just damp to allow the removal of dust. Check the general condition of the structure, verifying the presence of air leaks, deterioration of the surfaces for oxidation attack or abrasion. WINTER USE In the winter period it is necessary to empty the condensate water that can form inside the column; this operation must be carried out at the end of the application with a lowered column. Remove the valve (see picture) to allow the drain condensation water. Condensation water exhaust Valve 13 ...
