Magnum MLT4000S — Light Tower Set Up

Installation

For the Magnum MLT4000S, from the Magnum operator's manual.

Applies to: Magnum MLT4000S, Generac GN-220 engine

Before you start

  • The tower extends up to 25 ft (7.6 m). Make sure area above the trailer is open and clear of overhead wires and obstructions.

Procedure

  1. For maximum light coverage locate the tower at ground level or in a spot higher than the area being illuminated.
  2. Position the unit on a firm, non-combustible surface that is relatively flat, free of overhead obstructions and has a clear southerly view.
  3. Orient the unit with the trailer hitch facing north and block the wheels to keep it from moving.
  4. Pull the locking pin on the tongue jack, rotate it 90°, and turn the jack handle clockwise to raise the trailer tongue off the towing vehicle.
  5. If necessary, connect a good earthen ground to the grounding stud on the frame near the trailer tongue.
  6. Pull the locking pin on the outriggers and extend them until the pin snaps back in place; extend the outrigger jacks to the ground.
  7. Pull the locking pin on the rear jack, rotate it 90°, and turn the jack handle clockwise to level the trailer; adjust all four jacks to the ground.
