Be sure to read and understand the operating instructions before
lowering the tower!
If for any reason a part of the mast hangs up or a winch cable develops
slack before mast is fully lowered, stop immediately! Continuing to
turn the winch handle will increase the slack in the cable. Too much
slack could cause the mast to collapse should it suddenly free up. If the
mast hangs up, level the trailer. Slightly shake or twist the tower
assembly to free the bind. Contact an authorized WACKER service
representative immediately.
NEVER lower the mast while the unit is operating.
NEVER allow anyone to stand near the rear of the unit while lowering
the mast.
Turn the lights off. Shut down the engine.
CAUTION: Shutting down the engine before turning off the lights could
damage floodlight ballasts or generator capacitor(s).
CAUTION: Observe power cord while lowering the tower. Make sure
the coiled cord is not damaged during the lowering process.
Lower the tower by turning the handle on the mast-mounted winch (q)
counterclockwise ("cable out" direction).
NEVER touch the winch pawl! Releasing the winch pawl may cause
the mast or tower to fall.
Loosen the rotation locking knob (s) and using the handle (u), rotate
the mast so the lights face the rear of the trailer and the mast-mounted
winch is facing toward the trailer tongue.
