HYDRAULIC MAST OPERATION
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
The Allmand MAXI-LITE tower assembly
consists of a three section telescoping
mast that can be raised and extended by
operating two toggle switches mounted on
the D.C. Control Panel. The lift cylinder
toggle switch operates a solenoid on a
hydraulic pump that pressurizes a cylinder
to raise the mast from the horizontal towing
position to the vertical position. The extend
cylinder toggle switch operates a solenoid
on the same hydraulic pump that pressurizes a cylinder that extends the telescoping
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

DESCRIPTION OF MODELS AND OPTIONS
The MAXI-LITE hydraulic light tower uses four 1000 Watt Metal Halide or High Pressure Sodium 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 a hydraulically operated tower. The tower
is operated by two hydraulic cylinders powered by an electrically driven hydraulic pump. One cylinder, mounted on
the trailer frame, erects the mast from the horizontal towing position to vertical. The second cylinder, mounted
inside the tower, extends the mast vertically to the desired height. The hydraulic cylinders both erect the mast
from horizontal to vertical and extend the mast vertically to the desired height. 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 MAXI-LITE light tower is powered by
either one of two Kubota water cooled engines, 10.5 hp or 13.6 hp., or a Perkins water cooled 10.7 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.

the PERKINS 103-10 Engine Operators Handbook for information on
oil and fuel requirements.
TOWING INSTRUCTIONS
Before towing the MAXI-LITE 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.
Check for adequate tire pressure.
6.
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 inside 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.

ground lug and store ground rod inside left door.
11
Page 12
SPECIFICATIONS
BEFORE STARTING
1. Fill the engine with the right grade of lubricating oil
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 fuel 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.
STARTING THE KUBOTA AND PERKINS
ENGINES
NOTE: The Kubota and the Perkins engines
include 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
cool-down between each. After 3 attempts allow
to cool to ambient temperature.
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.
12
STOPPING THE KUBOTA AND PERKINS
ENGINES
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.

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.
POWERLITE FIXTURE - BT-56 1000 watt
Multi-Vapor lamp, Metal Halide, Laboratory
rated life is 12,000 hours.
NOTE: A trailer equipped with Metal Halide
lights and a trailer equipped with High Pres-
sure Sodium lights use different ballasts and
starters. Therefore, it is not advisable to
interchange bulb types.
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.
