Servicing the Axle
The axle under the light tower trailer will require periodic
maintenance and service. Such things as wheel bearing
adjustment and repacking will be required to maintain
the axle. For information on the maintenance schedule
and servicing the axle, see the axle owner's manual at
https://www.dexteraxle.com/resources/manuals.
Trailer Lighting
WARNING
Towing Hazard
Towing the light tower trailer with inoperable trailer lights
could result in death or serious injury. Repair or replace
inoperable trailer lights.
Trailer lights are a safety feature, and are required by law.
Keep the trailer lights in proper working order.
• Check the trailer lights and wiring for damage or wear.
Repair or replace as needed.
• Check to be sure the wiring harness is secured to the
trailer and does not hang down to the ground.
• Check the trailer light housing assemblies for damage
or leaks. Use silicone or rubber sealant to seal the
lens or harness, as needed, or replace the housing
assembly. Electrical grease will help protect the
sockets and prevent corrosion.
• When replacing bulbs, be sure to use the correct
replacement bulb. A small amount of electrical grease
in the sockets will prevent corrosion.
For trailer wiring schematic information, refer to the
separate Wire Schematic Manual.
Cleaning
NOTICE
Use caution when using compressed air or water / steam
pressure washers. Do not pressure–clean electrical
components, as this may cause damage.
Keeping the light tower clean is important to ensure
proper operation. Dirt and dust buildup acts as an
insulator and may cause the engine, generator and light
assemblies to operate at excessively high temperatures.
Use the following as cleaning guidelines:
1. Clean the light tower trailer to remove all dust, dirt or
other foreign material.
2. Clean the light tower and light fixture assemblies with
a damp cloth or sponge.
3. Clean all electrical wiring and components by hand
using non-corrosive cleaner.
4. Clean the inside of the control compartment.
