STOP IMMEDIATELY if the mast hangs up or the winch cable begins to develop slack.
Excess slack in the cable could cause the mast to collapse, which could result in personal
injury or equipment damage. Contact an authorized service center.
Note: If the generator is not operational, and the batteries do not have enough power to lower the mast, it may be
necessary to lower the mast manually.
MANUALLY LOWERING THE MAST
Do not use this procedure unless it is absolutely necessary. Continuous use of this procedure
could damage the planetary gear brake of the winch. This procedure will not work if the
1. Remove the power cables from the two terminals on
the winch motor assembly (A).
2. Remove the two flange head screws (B) securing the
winch motor assembly to the winch. Retain the
screws for reassembly.
3. Carefully remove the motor assembly (C), making
sure the two pieces do not separate.
4. Insert a 3/8" allen head wrench (D) into the sleeve
bearing.
5. Rotate the wrench counter-clockwise to lower the
mast. If any slack is observed in the cable, stop immediately and remove the slack.
6. When the mast is completely down, reinstall the winch motor assembly, securing it with the screws retained in
step 2.

TOWING THE UNIT

Once the engine is shut down and the mast lowered, follow these steps to prepare the unit for towing.
1. Raise the rear jack completely and release the locking pin to rotate it up into the travel position. Make sure the
locking pin snaps into place.
2. Raise the outrigger jacks completely and release the jack locking pin to swing the jacks up into the travel position.
Make sure the locking pins snap into place. Release the outrigger locking pins and slide the outriggers into the
trailer frame until the locking pins snap into place.
3. Use the tongue jack to raise or lower the trailer onto the hitch of the towing vehicle. Lock the hitch coupling and
attach the safety chains or cables to the vehicle. Remove the jack locking pin and rotate the jack into the travel
position. Replace the locking pin.
Note: A film of grease on the coupler will extend coupler life and eliminate squeaking. Wipe the coupler clean and
apply fresh grease each time the unit is towed.
4. To ensure proper operation of the jacks, lube the grease fittings located on the leveling jacks. Refer to
Maintenance" on page 35.
Engine" on page 33.
5. Connect any trailer wiring to the tow vehicle. Check for proper operation of the directional and brake lights.
