Spark Arrester (If Equipped); Lowering The Mast; Removing The Lights For Transportation; Towing The Unit - Generac Power Systems Magnum MLT3060M Owner's Manual

NOTE: Use the lower radiator hose heater only in its
designated location. Improper use can damage the
engine.
Perform the following steps when operating a unit
equipped with a lower radiator hose heater.
1. Verify the unit is level so as to maintain proper
orientation of the heater while it is in operation.
2. Verify the cooling system is full of the proper
mixture of water and engine coolant before each
heater use.
3. Use only an undamaged, outdoor rated, three-
prong grounded 120VAC extension cord with a
minimum amperage rating of 10A. Connect the
cord to a properly grounded 120VAC, GFCI outlet.
4. Before starting the engine, unplug the extension
cord from the power first, then unplug the heater
cord set from the extension cord.

Spark Arrester (If Equipped)

A spark arrester, installed on the MLT exhaust, may be
required by code in certain municipalities. Check with the
local authority having jurisdiction to determine whether or
not a spark arrester must be installed on the unit before
operation.

Lowering the Mast

1. Shut down the lights and engine. See
Down the Unit (with PowerZone Controller, If
Equipped). Allow the lights to cool 10-15 minutes
before lowering the mast.
2. Loosen the mast rotation knob. Rotate the mast
until the white arrows are aligned and the metal
stop tabs are touching. Tighten the mast rotation
knob.
3. Turn the upper
counterclockwise to collapse the mast to its lowest
position. Ensure the coiled electrical cord does not
get caught in, or pinched by, the mast while it is
being lowered.
WARNING
Personal Injury. Stop immediately if the mast hangs
up or the winch cable develops slack. Excess slack
could cause the mast to collapse, resulting in personal
injury or equipment damage.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Contact an Generac Mobile
Products Authorized Dealer immediately if the mast
hangs up or the winch cable develops slack.
4. Release the mast lock by pulling the safety pin on
the mast lock and pulling the lock bar free. Turn the
handle of the lower mast winch counterclockwise
until the mast rests in the transport cradle.

NOTE: If the mast lock bar does not pull free, activate
the lower winch slightly to relieve pressure on the mast
bar.
5. After the mast is completely down, insert the mast
cradle locking pin and secure it with the safety pin.
6. If the unit is going to be moved, remove the lights
from the mast and stow for transportation. See
Removing the Lights for
Removing the Lights for
Transportation
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.
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.
NOTE: When installing the lights for use, verify the star
washer is in place between the trunnion and T-handle.

Towing the Unit

Once the engine is shut down and the mast and lights are
properly stowed, follow these steps to prepare the unit for
towing.
1. Raise the outrigger jacks completely and release
the locking pins to rotate them up into the travel
position. Verify 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.
2. 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 tongue jack locking pin
and rotate the jack into the travel position. Replace
the locking pin.
3. To ensure proper operation of the jacks, lubricate
the grease fittings located on the leveling jacks.
