Lowering The Mast With Electric Winch Option; Removing The Lights For Transportation; Towing The Unit - Generac Power Systems Magnum MLT4200 Operating Manual

LOWERING THE MAST WITH ELECTRIC WINCH OPTION

1. Shut down the lights and engine. 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. Press and hold the upper winch control toggle switch downward to collapse the mast to its lowest position. Ensure
the electrical cord does not get caught in, or pinched by, the mast while it is being lowered.
Note: Some electric winch models are equipped with an anti-backlash safety limit switch. This switch will disconnect
power to the winch if excess cable slack is detected, preventing accidental lowering of the mast.
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.
4. Release the mast lock by pulling the safety pin on the mast lock and pulling the lock bar free. Lower the mast
by holding the lower winch control toggle switch to the right until the mast is resting 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.
Note: If the trailer is going to be moved, Magnum Power Products LLC strongly recommends that the lights be
removed from the mast and stowed for transportation. Refer to

REMOVING THE LIGHTS FOR TRANSPORTATION

1. 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.
2. 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.

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 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.
