Preparing to Operate the Unit
WARNING
Burn Hazard
Rapid release of hot coolant under pressure could result
in death or serious injury. Use extreme caution when
opening the radiator cap, and always wear eye protection
and heat resistant gloves.
Follow these steps to prepare the light tower trailer for
operation:
1. Level the light tower trailer front to back and side to
side. See Leveling and Stabilizing the Light Tower
Trailer.
2. Unlatch and open the engine compartment cover.
(The cover is equipped with a locking support rod.)
Check the following:
• Remove the dipstick from the engine and check
the engine oil level. Maintain engine oil level
between the "Full" and "Add" marks on the
dipstick. Replenish as necessary. See Engine
Oil in the Maintenance section.

• Check the engine coolant recovery bottle. Keep
engine coolant in the recovery bottle between
1/3 and 2/3 full. Open the radiator cap access
door (see Features and Controls), remove
the radiator cap, and check the coolant level.
Replenish as necessary. See Engine Coolant
in the Maintenance section for detailed
information on engine coolant.
3. On the support rod, move the red safety release lever
to the side to allow the cover to close.
4. Check the fuel level in the fuel tank and replenish as
necessary. See Fueling the Unit.
Operating the Engine
Your machine may be equipped with the standard ignition
switch and hour meter, or the optional Light Sequence
Commander (LSC) automatic starting unit.
To start the engine with the standard ignition switch:
1. Open the control panel door (A, Figure 17).
2. Turn the ignition switch (B, Figure 17) on the control
panel counterclockwise to PREHEAT (C, Figure 17).
A
Hold for approximately 20 seconds.
Note: Do not hold for longer than 20 seconds.
3. Turn the switch clockwise past RUN (D, Figure 17) to
START (E, Figure 17).
4. Once the engine starts, release the switch; it will
return to the RUN position.
Note: The electrical system is designed with a
20-second delay after the engine starts before the
lights and auxiliary AC outlets will operate.
Note: The hourmeter (F, Figure 17) indicates the total
hours of engine operation. An optional fuel gauge (G,
Figure 17) indicates the amount of fuel in the tank.
NOTICE
Do not operate the starter for more than 10 seconds.
Allow 30 seconds between starting attempts. Possible
starter damage could result from excessive starting
attempts.
NOTICE
Engaging the starter while the flywheel is rotating could
result in damage to the starter or flywheel ring gear.
If the engine has run out of fuel, you will need to bleed the
air from the fuel system. See 'Bleeding The Fuel System'
in the Engine Operator's Manual.
For further information on starting your engine, see the
Engine Operator's Manual.
