Magnum MTT25 / MTT25CAN — Raising the Mast

Operation

For the Magnum MTT25 / MTT25CAN, from the Magnum operator's manual.

Applies to: Magnum MTT25, Magnum MTT25CAN, Isuzu 4LE1NYGV-01 / 4LE1NYGV-03E engine, Isuzu 4LE1NYGV-03G / 4LE1NYGV-03E engine

Before you start

  • The unit must be leveled before raising the mast. Failure to level will severely reduce stability and could allow the unit to tip and fall.
  • Never raise or lower the mast while the unit is operating. Never remove the safety pin or release the mast lock while the mast is up.

Procedure

  1. Set up and level the unit.
  2. Remove the mast cradle locking pin from the mast cradle.
  3. Check the mast cables for excessive wear or damage and ensure they are centered in each pulley; check the electrical cord.
  4. Make sure the area around the unit is clear before raising the mast to vertical.
  5. Remove the safety pin from the mast lock bar and raise the mast until vertical and locked; secure with the safety pin.
  6. Use the upper mast winch to telescope the mast to the desired height, keeping the electrical cord extending.
  7. Rotate the mast using the mast rotation knob until the lights face the desired direction, then tighten the knob.
