STRONG ARM ELECTRIC WINCH MAST OPERATION

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION

The Allmand NIGHT-LITE 6330 tower assem­bly consists of a three section telescoping
mast which can be raised and extended by
operating a single electric winch mounted
inside the enclosure. A single three position
toggle switch mounted on the control panel is
used to raise and lower the mast. The winch
and cable are protected by an integral clutch
and a circuit breaker. The clutch is designed to
slip when the mast reaches full extension. The
circuit breaker is a safeguard for the clutch. If
the clutch is misadjusted or inoperative the
circuit breaker should trip to protect the system
from overload. The electric winch operates off
the 120 volt circuit breaker along with 120 volt
receptacle thus requiring that the 120 volt

circuit breaker switch must be on to oper­ate the winch.

The three section mast assembly can be
rotated from the ground by loosening a knob
and rotating the entire assembly 360° to aim
the lights as necessary.

SPECIFICATIONS

NOTE. In testing the Lister-Petter engine at the factory, the manufacturer uses an oil

for moderate and low temperatures. This oil is specially formulated to assist in
the break in period, and we would like it to be left in the engine for the first 100
hours. Additional information on fuel and lubrication specifications is found in
the Lister Petter Industrial Engine Operators Handbook.

See the KUBOTA 905 EBG1 or 1105 EBG1 Engine Operators Handbook or the

PERKINS 103-10 Engine Operators Handbook for information on oil and
fuel requirements.

TOWING INSTRUCTIONS

Before towing the NIGHT-LITE 6330 the trailer should be inspected visually to
insure that the following operations have been completed.

1. Hitch is securely attached to towing vehicle (safety chain secure).

2. All outriggers and jacks are retracted and secured.

3. Tower is lowered and the rear tower support pin is in place.

4. Light fixtures are positioned for transport.

5. Doors are closed and se­cure.

6. Check for adequate tire
pressure.

7. Taillights are connected and operating (if equipped).

8. Ground rod is removed from ground and secured in the trailer

GROUND ROD INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove ground rod stowed aside the left door (attached to the lower frame)

2. Unroll the electrical wire lead from the ground rod.

3. Attach the ground rod lead to the grounding lug located near the ballast compartment.

4. Drive the ground rod a minimum of 2 1/2 FT into the earth for adequate electrical grounding. If
this is not possible consult your local qualified electrician.

5. AFTER SHUTDOWN OF ENGINE: Remove the ground rod from the earth, remove lead
from the trailer ground lug and store ground rod inside left door.

12

SPECIFICATIONS

BEFORE STARTING

1. Fill the engine with the right grade of lubricating oil
(see pg. 19) and to correct level (check dipstick).

2. Ensure there is an adequate supply of fuel.

3. Ensure that the air cleaner is firmly attached,
the air canister seals and the hose clamps are
properly sealed. Air cleaner element should be
checked and replaced if necessary.

4. Install the ground rod.

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION

By depressing the start assist switch, the fuel solenoid
is energized. The solenoid plunger is drawn into the
coil and activates the fue! control linkage to RUN
position. When the engine starts, adequate engine oil
pressure at the oil pressure switch will maintain the
solenoid in the energized position. The start assist
switch can be released as soon as the engine starts.
A 10A inline fuse protects the solenoid from electrical
damage.

LOW OIL PRESSURE SHUTOFF
SYSTEM

Should a low oil pressure condition occur (less than 5
PSI), the pressure sending unit breaks the circuit
between the battery and the fuel solenoid, allowing the
spring load to immediately move the fuel control to the
shutoff position.

HIGH COOLANT TEMPERATURE SHUTOFF
SYSTEM

Should a high coolant temperature condition occur, the
temperature sending unit breaks the circuit between
the battery and the fuel solenoid, allowing the spring
load to immediately move the fuel control to the shutoff
position.

STARTING/STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS

STARTING THE LISTER PETTER ENGINE

NOTE: LPW-3 Lister includes a glow plug and cold
start system controlled by the start assist switch on
the control panel. This switch also activates the fuel
solenoid for quick starts. Use the switch routinely
during engine starts.

NOTE: At temperatures below 30 F. depress the
preheat switch for approximately one minute
before going on to step 3.

3. Depress start switch until the engine fires.
Release

start assist switch and start switch as soon as
the engine starts.

NOTE: To prevent equipment damage, do not
hold start switch in for more thon 10 seconds
Allow cool down time between cranking inter-

vals.

STOPPING THE LISTER PETTER ENGINE

1.Turn ON/OFF toggle switch to the down (OFF)
position.

STARTING THE KUBOTA AND PERKINS EN­GINES

NOTE: The Kubota and the Perkins engines
includes a glow plug cold start system con­trolled by the ignition switch on the control
panel. Glow plugs are not needed on a warm
engine or if the ambient temperature is above
50 F. Do not use starting fluid or ether.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the PREHEAT posi-
tion

and hold until the glow plug lamp goes out.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the Start position until
the engine starts. Release key as soon as the
engine starts.

3. If engine fails to start it may be necessary to
cycle the glow plugs again.

NOTE: To prevent equipment damage, DO NOT
hold ignition switch for more than 10 seconds
in the start position. If the engine does not start
in 10 seconds, wait 30 seconds and try the start
sequence again. Do not run the cell motor for
more than 20 seconds continuously. Limit
engine cranking to 3 attempts with a 2 minute
cooi-down between each. After 3 attempts allow
to cool to ambient temperature.

STOPPING THE KUBOTA AND PERKINS EN­GINES

1. Turn ON/OFF toggle switch to the up (ON) position.

2. Depress preheat, start-assist switch engaging the
fuel solenoid and powering the glow plug. Hold in
until step 3 (next column) has been completed

1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. This
breaks the circuit between the battery and the
fuel solenoid, allowing the spring load to imme­diately move the fuel control to the shutoff
position.

2. Disconnect the ground rod.

DESCRIPTION OF MODELS AND OPTIONS

The NIGHT-LITE 6330 light tower uses four 1000 Watt Metal Halide lamps with the exclusive Allmand SHO
lighting system to produce a total of 334,204 lumens (83,551 lumens per fixture). Optional reflective visors and 6-

light units are available. The lights are mounted on either a manual winch or electric winch tower. The manual tower
is operated by two hand crank winches. One winch, mounted on the trailer frame, erects the mast from the
horizontal towing position to vertical. The second winch, mounted on the tower, extends the mast vertically to the
desired height. The second tower is operated by a 120V electric winch located inside the trailer housing. The
electric winch erects the mast from horizontal to vertical and by releasing a lock handle extends the mast vertically
to the desired height. The tower power cords are available as either straight cord or a cord reel. Inside fixture
storage is offered for the 4-light option.

The heavy duty trailer shell has 12 gauge doors and roof panels. The shell houses the 15” wheels and
tires inside the side panels. The front panels are rust proof ABS plastic. The NIGHT-LITE 6330 light tower is
powered by either a Lister Petter LPW-3 16.5 hp water cooled engine, one of two Kubota water cooled engines,

10.5 hp or 13.6 hp., or an Isuzu water cooled 16 hp diesel engine. Each engine mounts to either the 6KW or
8KW generator. The trailer houses a 50 gallon poly fuel tank and an optional sound attenuation package.

MAST

Three-section steel tube mast, which
extends to 30 feet. The mast is extended
with either two manual winches or one
Dutton-Lainson electric winch. The as­sembly includes self-lubricating nylon
guide rollers and 360° rotating light bar.

TRAILER

The complete generator is housed in a
lockable enclosure with the frame fabricated
from heavy gauge steel mounted on a two­wheel, leaf spring axle.
The design enables the trailer to contain the
outriggers in a simple compact position.

When the mast is in the operating position it
is located in the middle of a four point
outrigger system for optimum balance and
stability. This system was engineered to
allow the light plant to remain operational in
sustained winds of 65 MPH with the mast
extended to full height and the outriggers in
position.
The design includes an adjustable-height re­versible hitch, which includes a 2” ball and
pintle hook hitch.

Lumen rating: 140,000
Warm-up time: 4-6 minutes
Restart time: 1 minute

STABILIZERS
