REMOVING THE LIGHTS FOR TRANSPORTATION

1. On units equipped with quick disconnect fittings for the lights, disconnect the power
cords from the junction box at the top of the mast. Replace the dust caps on the
junction box. On hard wired units, remove the junction box cover, located on the
top of the mast, and disconnect ONLY the mast light wires from the connectors.
To release the mast light wires from the connectors, flip the locking levers down
and pull out the appropriate wires.
2. Remove the lights by removing the wing nut that holds the light fixture bracket to
the cross tube. Attach the lights to the storage brackets (if equipped) located on
the mast tube on either side of the central lift point.

apply fresh grease each time the unit is towed.
