Preparing The Light Tower Trailer
For Use
If the light tower trailer has been stored or idle for a period of
time, follow these steps to prepare the NIGHT-LITE NL5000
light tower trailer for use.
WARNING
Operating or towing a machine with worn, damaged or
missing parts can result in death or serious injury. Always
replace worn, damaged or missing parts promptly. Do not
operate or tow this machine until all worn, damaged or
missing parts have been replaced, and proper operation of
the machine has been verified.
NOTICE
The replacement of any part on this machine by anything
other than an Allmand authorized replacement part may
adversely affect the performance, durability or safety of this
machine and may void the warranty. Allmand assumes no
liability for unauthorized replacement parts which adversely
affect the performance, durability or safety of this machine.
1. Check that a copy of the Operator's Manual is with the
light tower trailer in the manual storage container.
2. Check that all safety decals are legible and in place
on the light tower trailer. See Safety Decals in the
Operator Safety section.
3. Check the light tower trailer for proper operation:
a. Use an appropriate means to safely support the trailer
tongue. Check that the tongue jack operates properly,
and that the jack lock pin can be locked in the trans-
10
port position as well as the trailer support position.
See Operating the Tongue Jack.
b. Check that the outriggers operate properly, and that
each one is locked in the transport position. See
W
Leveling and Stabilizing the Light Tower Trailer in
the Operation section.
c. Check the winch and cable system for proper opera-
X
tion, and that the cable is not frayed or damaged.
d. Check that the trailer coupler operates properly, and
that it is securely fastened to the light tower trailer
tongue. See Using The Trailer Coupler.
e. Check that the safety chains are properly secured to
the light tower trailer tongue, and check the safety
chains and hooks for damage. Replace damaged
safety chains and hooks.
f. Check the condition and inflation pressure of the tires.
See Specifications.
WARNING
Towing a trailer with worn, damaged or underinflated tires
could result in death or serious injury. Always replace worn
or damaged tires promptly. Always keep tires inflated to
proper cold tire inflation pressure.
4. Check that the ground rod is with the machine. Check
ground rod cable and the grounding lug on the chassis to
make sure they are clean and undamaged. Check that
there is continuity between:
a. The ground lug and the generator ground.
b. The ground rod and the eyelet connector on the ground
rod cable.
5. Check the engine oil level and replenish as necessary.
See Maintenance.
6. Check the engine cooling system and replenish as nec-
essary. Make sure that the coolant overflow bottle is at
least half full of coolant. See Maintenance.
7. Check the air filter for damage and replace as necessary.
Check the engine air intake system and make sure all
connections are air tight.
8. Check the battery for adequate charge. The light tower
trailer is equipped from the factory with a 12 volt bat-
tery. Use a 12 volt battery charger to bring the battery
back to full charge. See Maintaining the Battery in the
Maintenance section.
9. If the trailer was stored with the battery disconnected,
reconnect the battery.
10. Check that there is sufficient fuel in the fuel tank. See
Engine Operation - Pre-Start Checks in the Operation
section for detailed information on checking and adding
fuel.
11. Check that the engine starts and runs properly. See
Engine Operation in the Operation section.
