RAISING THE MAST

1. Set up and level the unit. Refer to
Locations" on page
12.
WARNING
The unit must be leveled with the
outriggers extended before raising the
mast. The outriggers must remain
extended while the mast is up. Failure
to level the unit or extend the
outriggers will severely reduce
stability and could allow the unit to tip
and fall.
2. Check the mast cables for excessive wear or
damage. Make sure the cables are properly centered
in each pulley (A). Check the electrical cord for
damage.
WARNING
Do not start the unit if insulation on the
electrical cord is cut or worn through.
Bare wires in contact with the mast or
frame may energize the unit and cause
electrocution. Repair or replace a
damaged cord.
3. Press and hold the winch control switch (B) upward
to telescope the mast to the desired height. Extend
the mast slowly, making sure that the coiled electrical
cord is extending at the top sections of the mast. If,
for any reason, the winch cable begins to develop
slack or any of the mast sections get stuck, STOP
IMMEDIATELY and contact an authorized service
center.
CAUTION
Do not extend the mast beyond the
colored mark on top of the lower mast
section (C). A limit switch on the main mast
section will disconnect power to prevent
overextending the mast.
4. Rotate the mast by loosening the mast rotation knob at the bottom of the mast (D). Turn the mast until the lights
face in the desired direction and then tighten the knob to secure the mast in position.
Never raise or lower the mast while the unit is operating. Never remove the safety pin or
release the mast lock while the mast is up. Releasing the lock will cause the mast to fall.
