OVERVIEW

Allmand light tower trailers are intended to be used for
job site illumination and electrical power. The diesel
engine drives a generator, which provides power for
the light fixtures and the power outlets. When the lights
are not in use, all of the generator power is available at
the outlets. When all four lights are on, they consume
approximately 4.5 to 5.5 kilowatts (kW) of power
(depending on the rating of the light fixtures equipped
on your light tower), leaving the remainder of the
generator power for the outlets. The amount of power
available depends on the generator with which your
light tower is equipped.

USING THE LIGHT TOWER

DANGER

Contact with overhead electrical

wires will result in death or serious

injury. Always maintain a minimum

distance of 45 feet (14 m) from

overhead wires to the light tower.

Keep well clear of any loose cables, ropes, or
obstructions that could interfere with the light tower
mast.

GROUND CONDITIONS

Most controls for the light tower are accessed through
the door on the left rear of the trailer. Access for
inspection and maintenance of the engine, generator,
and other components is through the side doors.

WORK SITE CONSIDERATIONS

Prior to starting and operating the light tower, you must
determine where to place it on the work site. The best
possible light coverage and illumination is attained
when the light tower is located on the same level as the
work area to be illuminated. When placing the light
tower trailer, consideration must be given to overhead
clearance, ground conditions, and wind.

As the operator, it is your responsibiity to ensure that
the light tower trailer is properly positioned on the work
site. Proper placement on the work site will provide for
safe and stable operation of the light tower.

OVERHEAD CLEARANCE

Before positioning the light tower trailer on the work
site, make sure that there are no overhead obstructions
where you intend to place the trailer. If the work site is
in an enclosed area, such as a building, keep in mind
that, when vertical and extended, the light tower mast
requires a minimum of 36 feet (11 m) from ground level
to the top of the light fixture.

Always keep well clear of any overhead power lines or
buss bars.

You must place the light tower trailer on a firm, stable
surface that will support the total weight of the trailer,
as well as each of the five stabilizer jacks. Make sure that
the surface where the light tower is to be positioned has
enough area to allow full extension of all outriggers. We
recommend that the trailer be positioned on a level
surface, however, if it is necessary for the trailer to
positioned on a grade, do not exceed a grade of 5% (2.9°
incline) in any direction. Grades greater than 5% may
exceed the extension limits of the stabilizer jacks,
preventing contact of one or more of the jacks with the
ground.

WARNING

Raising the light tower without properly positioning

the outriggers and stabilizer jacks first could cause
machine rollover, resulting in death or serious injury.
Always deploy the outriggers and stabilizer jacks on a
firm, level, and stabile surface before raising the light

tower.

WIND

When the light tower is vertical and extended, wind can
exert a powerful force on the light tower trailer. When
you position the trailer on the work site, be aware of
ground obstructions such as buildings, structures, or
trees that may direct wind toward the light tower or
cause buffeting around the light tower.

With the outriggers and stabilizer jacks properly
deployed on stable ground, and the light tower trailer
properly leveled, the light tower is designed to
withstand sustained winds of 53 mph (85 km/h)
without the danger of rollover.

MAXI-LITE II

3-3

WARNING

ROLLOVER HAZARD

Operating the light tower mast fully raised in winds

exceeding 53 mph (85 km/h) can cause machine

rollover, resulting in death or serious injury. Always

lower the light tower when winds are expected to

exceed 53 mph (85 km/h).

LEVELING AND STABILIZING THE
TRAILER

After you determine the appropriate placement of the
light tower trailer at the work site, you must make sure
that the trailer is level and stable prior to starting and
operating the light tower.

Chocking the Wheels

After you position the light tower, you must place the
wheel chocks on both sides of the wheels to hold the
trailer in place while the outriggers are being deployed.

WARNING

ROLLOVER HAZARD

Do not set this trailer up on non-level or unstable

ground. Only set up on a smooth, flat, level surface.

Always level the light tower trailer before raising the

light tower.

Wheel Chocks and Brackets (Optional)

Two pairs of wheel chocks, with storage brackets, are
available from Allmand as on option. These are located
on the front of the machine.

To remove wheel chocks from the brackets:

1 Release the rubber strap from over the top of the two

wheel chocks in the bracket.

2 Remove the wheel chocks from the bracket with an

upward and slightly forward motion, to clear the
louvers immediately above the bracket.

To install the wheel chocks into the brackets:

To chock the wheels:

1 Make sure that the trailer is properly positioned on

the work site as described in “WORK SITE
CONSIDERATIONS” on page 3-2.

2 Place a wheel chock on one side of each wheel. If the

trailer is positioned on a slight incline, place a wheel
chock on the downhill side of each wheel first.

3 Place a wheel chock on the other side of each wheel.

1 Hold the wheel chocks by the hand hole, with the

curved surface toward you. Tilt the upper portion of
the chocks away from the trailer, to clear the louvers,
as you insert the chocks into the bracket.

2 When both wheel chocks are inserted into the

bracket, pull the rubber strap over the top of both
chocks and hook it into the hole in the bracket to
secure them.

Wheel chocks (four) are stored on the front of the trailer,
two on either side of the tower.

ADJUSTING THE LIGHTS

The light bar and light fixtures must be adjusted to the
work angle you want prior to raising the tower.

WARNING

BURN HAZARD

The light fixtures become extremely hot during use.

Always use caution and wear heat-resistant gloves

when handling the lights or allow the lights to cool

down before handling.

ROTATING THE LIGHTS TO THE DESIRED
ANGLE

To adjust the light bar at the work site:

1 Release the light bar park pin by pulling the ring out

and turning it 90° so that the pin remains in the

retracted position.

2 With the park pin released, the light bar can be

manually rotated. It has enough built-in resistance
that the bar will stay in position after the operator
has directed the lights on the work zone.

If the light bar rotates too easily or does not stay in
position, remove the cap plug from the center of the
light bar cover and tighten the nut to achieve the
proper resistance, then replace the cap plug.

MAXI-LITE II

3 To adjust each light fixture, manually swivel each

fixture at its base into the working position you want.
There are two adjustments per light. The fixture and
bracket assembly rotates on the pivot point where it
attaches to the bar and the light fixture rotates
within the bracket.

NOTICE

Note that there are two adjustments for each

individual light: you can rotate the bracket or you can

rotate the light itself within the bracket.

All necessary adjustments need to be made before

raising the tower.

ROTATING THE TOWER ARMS

With the light tower fully lowered and the lights off, the
light bar assembly and light fixtures can be manually
rotated into the position you want.

Each arm of the light tower needs to be independently
rotated (to ~less than 90 degrees) while the tower is
down.

To rotate the tower arms:

RAISING AND LOWERING THE LIGHT
TOWER

Before operating the tower lights, review “SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS” on page 2-2. The light tower is raised

and lowered by a hydraulic pump.

\

WARNING

ROLLOVER HAZARD

Before raising, lowering, or operating the tower

lights, the trailer must be set up, properly leveled and

stabilized, and the ground rod installed. Refer to

“WORK SITE CONSIDERATIONS

WARNING

CRUSH HAZARD

Allow adequate clearance around and above the

trailer when raising or lowering the light tower.

Ensure that there are no obstructions or persons near

the light tower when raising or lowering it.

” section on page 3-2.

1 Push the “near” end of the arm UP, and then pull the

“far” end DOWN. This means that the end of the bar
closest to the back of the trailer is near the bottom
when you extend the light tower up.

On each arm, this is done with the black handle.
Loosen the handle, rotate the arm then, when
tightening, pull OUT on the handle to rotate it
around the obstruction on the arm, then push in to

The Maxi-Lite II light tower is powered by a diesel
engine and generator unit.

PRE-START CHECKS

1 Check the engine oil and add oil if required. Fill the

engine with the proper grade of lubricating oil.

2 Check the fuel level and add diesel fuel as required.

3 Make sure that the air cleaner is firmly attached and

that air cleaner seals and hose clamps are properly
secured. The air cleaner element should be checked,
and replaced if necessary.

STARTING THE ENGINE

To start the engine:

1 Turn the key one position to the right.

2 Wait for glow plug indicator to light.

3 Turn the key all the way to the right, until the engine

starts.

If the engine has run out of fuel, refill the fuel tank, then
proceed with the starting procedure.

NOTICE - Don’t burn out the starter

Do not operate the starter for more than 10 seconds

without allowing 30 seconds to pass between

starting attempts. Possible starter damage could

result from excessive heat caused by cranking the

engine too long.

NOTICE - Don’t double-start

If the engine develops sufficient speed to disengage

the starter but does not keep running (a false start),

the engine must be allowed to come to a complete

stop before you try to restart it.

If the starter is engaged while the flywheel is rotating,

the starter pinion and flywheel ring gear may clash.

This could damage to the starter or flywheel ring

gear.

MAXI-LITE II

3-9

JUMP STARTING THE ENGINE

In the event of a low or exhausted battery, the engine
on your light tower can be jump started.

To jump start the engine:

1 Open the left side panel door to gain access to the

battery.

2 Connect jumper cables to the battery terminals on

the battery of the starting vehicle, red to the positive
terminal and black to the negative terminal.

CAUTION

Exercise extreme caution not to touch the ends of the

jumper cables together when they are connected to

a battery. Touching the ends of the cables together

can cause a fire or possibly an explosion.

3 Connect the jumper cables to the battery in your

trailer, red to the positive terminal and black to the
negative terminal.

4 Start the starting vehicle.

5 Attempt to start the engine on the light trailer.

6 When the engine on the light trailer starts, wait a bit,

then remove the jumper cables from the battery in
the trailer, then from the battery in the starting
vehicle.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

NOTICE - Turn off the lights

Turn off the lights before you stop the engine.

EMERGENCY STOP (E-STOP) PLUNGER

The Emergency Stop, or “E-Stop” plunger is a kill switch
for the entire system. In an emergency, the E-Stop
plunger can be pressed to completely shut down the
operation of the Mine Spec II trailer.

When the E-Stop plunger is pressed the engine stops,
the lights are turned off, and the tower remains up.
Pulling the E-Stop plunger out resets the system and
the engine can be restarted.

BATTERY DISCONNECT

A lockable switch that renders the trailer inoperable.
Can be used to prevent tampering and vandalism when
the trailer is left overnight or for extended periods of
time.

CHAWLWYN VALVE [EMERGENCY AIR SHUTOFF
VALVE] - (OPTIONAL)

Sucks out air to shut the engine down in case of
overspeed situation. Pull the red T-handle (under one of
the main side covers) to kill the engine manually.
Should be done once a day. Unit should be on a flat
surface, with outriggers in place beforehand.

The valve also works automatically. If the engine
overspeeds (for example due to combustible gas in the
surrounding air), the valve closes as a result of
more/faster air being sucked into the engine. No user
interaction is required. When the faster air closes the
valve, it actually keeps any air from getting to the
engine, so it dies.

3-10

USING THE LIGHT TOWER

AUTOMATIC ENGINE SHUTDOWN SYSTEMS

The engine is equipped with several automatic engine
shutdown systems. These systems are in place to
prevent excessive engine damage in the event of a low
oil or overheat condition. For additional information,
refer to your Engine Operator’s Manual.

LOW OIL PRESSURE SHUTOFF

If a low oil pressure condition occurs, the oil pressure
sending unit breaks the circuit between the battery and
the fuel solenoid, which shuts off the fuel.

HIGH COOLANT TEMPERATURE SHUTOFF

If a high coolant temperature condition occurs, the
temperature sending unit breaks the circuit between
the battery and the fuel solenoid, which shuts off the
fuel.

FUELING YOUR LIGHT TOWER

Open either side panel. The fuel tank is actually two
tanks, one on each side, both with filler caps. The tanks
are connected, so filling either side will fill the entire
tank. The trailer holds 100 gallons (378.5 L).

NOTICE

Pressurized fueling is NOT ALLOWED.

Good quality #1 or #2 Diesel fuel are both acceptable
Do not use an alternative fuel because its quality is
unknown and may be inferior. Kerosene, which has a
very low octane rating, adversely affects the engine.
Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual for more detailed
fuel requirements.

MAXI-LITE II

3-11

TURNING ON THE LIGHTS

The tower light control panel contains the breaker
switches that control the trailer lights (one switch per
light).

The four light fixtures are controlled and protected by
four breaker switches located on the light control panel.
for additional information, see “Maxi-Lite II light and

engine control panel (default)” and “Maxi-Lite II light
and Kubota engine control panel (default)” on page 1-8.

The switches work just like a regular circuit breaker in
your home. Normal settings are ON and OFF. If a
breaker trips, it is in the "center" position, and you have
to turn it all the way OFF and then back ON again.

BALANCING THE LOAD

It’s important that the load on the generator be
balanced.

NOTICE

SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE

To shut down for a short period of time:

1 With the lights off, lower the light tower to the full

down position.

2 Turn the engine off.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before performing any troubleshooting procedures,
read the following safety messages and read the
chapter on “SAFETY” on page 2-1

For engine and generator troubleshooting, refer to the

Engine Operator’s Manual and Generator Operator’s
Manual or contact your dealer.

WARNING

ELECTROCUTION HAZARD

Only qualified, licensed electricians should service or

perform replacement procedures on the electrical
components. Ballast and capacitors are capable of

discharging high voltage. Always use appropriate
personal safety clothing and gear when servicing

electrical components.

TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING

ELECTROCUTION HAZARD

High voltage is present when the engine is running.

Never attempt to service electrical components while

the engine is running.

WARNING

ELECTROCUTION HAZARD

Do not operate the light tower if the insulation on the

electrical wiring is cut or worn, or if bare wires are

exposed. Repair or replace damaged wiring before

starting the engine.

Always follow the electrical component manufacturer’s
specifications for voltage and test procedures

MAXI LITE II

TROUBLESHOOTING CHART

PROBLEM Possible Cause

The circuit breakers on the outlet box are not turned on or have been tripped. If necessary
clear the overload condition, then allow 15 minutes and reset the breakers.

The lamps have not been allowed to cool sufficiently from the last use. Allow 15 minutes
between the time the lamps are turned off and the time they are restarted.

One or more lamps are burned out or broken. Replace the lamp(s).

One or more lamps are not screwed in securely. Screw the lamp(s) in securely.

The plug and socket at the light bar are not securely connected and locked.

The temperature of the ballast is below -20° F (-29° C). The efficiency of the capacitors in
the ballast is not sufficient to light the lamps. For operations where the temperature of
the ballast falls below -20° F (-29° C), some means must be used to warm the ballast.

Low electrical system voltage.

7-3

No light from one or

more lights

A loose connection is possible in the back of the lamp socket in the lamp holder. Turn off
the engine and repair the loose connection.

A circuit breaker or breakers are defective. Repair or replace the circuit breaker(s).

A loose connection is possible on the terminal board. Turn off the engine and check the
connections.

The engine and generator are not running up to speed (1800 RPM).

An incorrect style replacement lamp (requiring a different ballast) has been installed.
Replace the lamp with the correct replacement.

Too much power is being drawn from the auxiliary outlets. Remove some of the load from
the auxiliary outlets.

A capacitor or transformer has failed. Replace the defective part.

Corrosion has occurred on the lamp bases. Turn off the engine and allow the lamps to
cool, then remove the lamps and clean the bases.
