NOTE: If an indicator light does not turn on, see
Troubleshooting or contact a Generac Mobile Products

NOTE: The lights require a warm up period of 5-15
minutes before they reach full output. If the lights are shut
down, they require a cool down period of approximately
ten minutes before they can be switched on again.
NOTE: The light tower uses four 1000W or 1050W
bulbs. When checking or replacing the bulbs, wipe them
with a clean cloth to avoid leaving any grease, oil residue
or fingerprints on the glass. Any residue can create a hot
spot on the bulb, causing premature bulb failure.
