From a Generac operator's manual covering: 201CSA5411, MLT3060K, MLT3060M, MLT3080KV. Check it applies to your exact model before use.

Before you start

  • STOP IMMEDIATELY if the mast hangs up, or the winch cable begins to develop slack.

Procedure

  1. Shut down the lights and engine; allow the lights to cool 10-15 minutes before lowering the mast.
  2. If the trailer is going to be moved, rotate the mast so the lights face the rear (loosen knob, align white arrows and metal stop tabs, tighten knob).
  3. Press and hold the winch control toggle switch downward to collapse the mast to its lowest position.
