MANUAL 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 two hand crank
winches. One winch, mounted with the
handle extending through the side of the
trailer frame, raises and lowers the mast
from the horizontal towing position, the
vertical position, and back. The second
winch mounted on the tower extends the
telescopic sections.

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.

!

SAFETY WARNING

 ALWAYS CHECK FOR OVERHEAD

OBSTRUCTIONS BEFORE RAISING
AND LOWERING MAST. ALLOW 35'
CLEARANCE. AVOID ALL OVERHEAD
ELECTRICAL WIRES.

 TO PREVENT INSTABILITY AND HELP

ENSURE SAFE OPERATION, ALWAYS
PROVIDE PROPER GROUND SUP­PORT BEFORE RAISING MAST.

 BEFORE RAISING MAST, VISUALLY

INSPECT EQUIPMENT FOR DAMAGE
OR WEAR. FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF
WITH THE LOCATION AND FUNCTION
OF ALL OPERATING PARTS BY STUDY­ING THIS MANUAL. OBSERVE ALL
CAUTION DECALS LOCATED ON
EQUIPMENT

NOTE: The latch locks the mast in the
vertical position and disengages the
sections allowing the tower assembly
to be rotated to position the lights.

TO ERECT MAST AND RAISE
LIGHTS

1. Extend both side outrigger jacks, rear jack
and tongue jack to stabilize and level the
trailer.

NOTE: Jacks should be placed only on
firm footing.

!

SAFETY WARNING

 WHEN EXTENDING REAR JACK, WATCH

TO ENSURE YOU ARE CLEAR OF THE
OVERHANGING ENDS OF THE MAST
BEFORE YOU STAND UP

THE SUPPLEMENTAL GROUND ROD IS A

SAFETY DEVICE THAT MAY REDUCE
THE CHANCE OF PERSONAL INJURY
FROM STRAY ELECTRICAL CURRENT

Therefore, Allmand recommends using
the ground rod. However, it is the user’s
responsibility to determine the require­ments and/or applicability of local, state,
or national electrical code which governs
the use of the ground rod.

2. Attach the ground rod to the grounding lug,
and drive the ground rod fully for adequate
electrical ground, as required by local,
state, or national code.

3. Release the pin that secures the mast to
the rear mast support.

4. Operate the hand crank on the side of the
trailer to raise the mast from horizontal to
vertical.

5. Turn black knob counterclockwise and
engage latch in strike plate. Retighten black
knob.

6. Operate the hand crank winch on the tower
clockwise to raise the lights vertically.

7. To rotate the lights, release the black knob
and turn the tower assembly with the
handles provided.

8. To turn on lights, flip the breaker switches to
the up position. (SEE FIG. 1)

MANUAL WINCH MAST OPERATION

SAFETY WARNING

 IF THE TOWER CANNOT BE ROTATED

AFTER LOOSENING THE BLACK KNOB,
CHECK TO ASSURE THE LOWER
LATCH IS ENGAGED IN THE STRIKE
PLATE. THIS DOUBLE LATCH FEATURE
PREVENTS THE TOWER FROM BEING
ROTATED IF THE LATCH IS NOT EN­GAGED.

!

SAFETY WARNING

VISUALLY INSPECT EQUIPMENT FOR
DAMAGE BEFORE OPERATING. ALLOW
ADEQUATE CLEARANCE AROUND
TRAILER FOR TOWER AND INSURE THAT
NO PERSONS ARE STANDING IN FRONT
OF OR BEHIND UNIT WHEN LOWERING.

TO LOWER MAST AND LIGHTS

1. Turn off lights.

2. Release black knob and rotate tower until
winch handle points to the front of the trailer
and retighten knob.

3. Operate hand crank winch on tower counter­clockwise to lower the lights to the lowest
vertical position

4. Operate hand crank winch on side of trailer
clockwise to take up any cable slack.

5. Turn the black knob counterclockwise and lift to
release the latch from the strike plate. Re­tighten the knob with the latch disengaged from
the strike plate.

6. Operate the hand crank on the side of the
trailer counterclockwise to fold the mast
down into the towing position

.

NOTE: Sufficient load (75 lb. min ) must
be applied to the cable to overcome
internal resistance and operate the
brake properly. Insufficient load will not
turn the reel thus continual turning
without sufficient load will remove the
winch handle from the shaft.

7. Secure light cords into hook on the rear
tower support for towing.

8. Secure pin locking mast to rear tower
support.

9. Remove ground rod from earth. Discon­nect wire from ground lug and secure in
trailer

10. Raise jacks and rear stand, retract
outriggers and secure for towing

NOTE: Ensure the detent pins are
properly engaged in the outriggers
before towing.

NOTE: Visually inspect the flood light mounting yokes for loose hardware. This could pre­vent a broken fixture during towing.
