NIGHT SCAN POWERLITE, POWERLITE XTREME, AND POWERLITE HDT
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Equipment Damage - Submerged! Do not submerge mast in liquid or operate the vehicle in a
fording situation that would result in a submerged mast.
Safety Instruction - Potential Air Contaminants! If internally mounted in a vehicle, air from
mast and any accumulated water will discharge into the vehicle. Install appropriate drainage and
venting.
Fastener Vibration Hazard! Mast system and payload mounting hardware must include proper
means to resist vibration loosening such as thread-locking compound, locking hardware, or
equivalent. Use specified assembly torques appropriate for the fastener size.
Frozen Water Hazard! Water freezing inside mast may render mast inoperable and cause major
equipment damage such as tube deformation. Ensure water is free to exit at the base of mast.
Safety Instruction - Guy Anchors! For masts using Guy Lines, verify the Guy Anchor point
strength is adequate to support the Guy Line forces.
Lubrication! Do not lubricate the exterior of mast moving tubes. The lubricant will attract dust
and other environmental contaminants into mast.
Equipment Damage - Forces! Before unloading the system, be certain the unloading region is
capable of resisting forces generated from unloading the system including but not limited to
system weight. Ensure the unloading region is level and has sufficient room and strength to hold
the system. If the unloading region is incapable of meeting the requirements of the system,
damage to the system and/or unloading region could occur.
Equipment Damage - Support Bracket! For masts using an upper support bracket, do not
over-tighten mast support bracket. Over-tightening may damage the Base Tube causing mast
tubes to stick.
Mast and Payload Access! The operator must provide safe means to access mast and payload
during installation, removal and maintenance.
Tripping Hazard! Cables, trip lines, guy lines and guy anchors can be hard to see during and
after installation. Any equipment posing trip hazards should be clearly marked.
