PREPARING THE NIGHT LITE PRO V SERIES FOR DELIVERY OR RENTAL

The NIGHT LITE PRO V SERIES light tower requires service as well as proper operation in order to provide the performance and safety it has been designed for. Never deliver or put machine into service with known defects or missing instructions or decals. Always instruct the customer in proper operation and safety procedures as described in this Operator’s Manual. Always provide the manual with the equipment for proper and safe operation.

CHECK LIST

 Visually inspect the equipment to ensure that all instructions and decals are in place and legible.  Inspect the light tower locking bar latch assembly which locks the light tower in the vertical posi-

tion for proper operation.

 Check the hitch assembly and safety chains.  Check the outriggers and jacks to make sure they operate properly.  Inspect the light assemblies for damage and test for proper operation.

 Inspect the electrical wiring for signs of damage. Danger! Electrocution Hazard.

Do not operate the light tower if the insulation on the electrical cord or other electrical wiring is cut or worn, or if bare wires are exposed. Repair or re place damaged wiring before starting the engine.

 Check ground rod cable and the ground lug. Make sure they are clean, undamaged and func-

tional.

OPERATION

Starting the Engine

The Starting procedure is different Depending on the engine model used. Refer to your Engine Operator’s Manual for the starting procedure.

Cold - Weather Starting

The cold - weather Staring procedure is different Depending on the engine model used. Refer to your Engine Operator’s Manual for the cold - starting procedure.

If Engine has Run Out of Fuel

1. Refill the fuel tank.

2. Refer to your Engine Operator’s

Manual for the starting procedure.

Notice: Do not operate 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 too long.

Automatic Engine shutdown System

The engine is equipped with an automatic engine shutdown system to prevent excessive engine damage in the event of a low oil or overheat condition. For additional information, refer to your En-

gine Operator’s Manual.

Low Oil Pressure Shutoff

Should a low oil pressure condition occur, the oil pressure sending unit breaks the circuit between 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

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.

Notice: If the engine develops sufficient

speed to disengage the starter but does not keep running (a false start), the engine rotation must be allowed to come to a complete stop before attempting to restart the engine.

If starter is engaged while the flywheels rotating, the starter pinion and flywheel ring gear may clash, resulting in damage to the starter or flywheel ring gear.

Stopping the Engine

The engine stopping procedure may differ depending on the engine model. Refer to your Engine Operator’s Manual for engine stopping procedures.

1. Seven Section Light Tower Raising

NOTICE: Before raising light tower, visually inspect equipment for damage or wear and repair or replace components as required. Never operate the light tower with damaged or malfunctioning components.

2. Turn the lights off; see Light Control Panel on page 44.

3. Press the tower light hydraulic lift Switch down to lower the light tower to the desired height or to the full DOWN position.

4. When tower reaches the bottom, run switch for 3 additional seconds to ensure that the tower is at its lowest possible position.

5. Stop engine.

Page 44

OPERATION

SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE Shutdown - Short Period

When shutting down the light tower for a short period, perform the following procedures.

1. With the lights off, lower the light tower to the full DOWN position; see Raising and Lowering the light tower on page

43.

2. Turn the engine off. Refer to your En- gine Operator’s Manual for stopping procedure.

Shutdown - Long - Term or Prepare for Trailering

6/9/2011

When shutting down the light tower for long periods of time or when preparing to trailer, see Long - Term Storage section on page 51 or Shutdown - Prepare for Trailer- ing section on page 20.

AUXILLARY AC OUTLET OPERATION

Depending on model options, the convenience panel is equipped with two 220VAC outlets for powering accessories from the generator. Power is supplied to the outlets when the engine/generator is running.

The 220VAC outlet is protected by a 10 amp circuit breaker.

If the outlet circuit breakers trip, switch off the lights, remove the load to the outlets and wait 10 minutes for the bulbs to cool before turning them back on.

1. Disconnect the load from the outlet.

2. Turn off the tower lights (if used).

Ballast Panel

The ballast panel is located on the left, front side of the light tower trailer. The panel can be accessed by removing the panel cover. The ballast contains the four tower light lamp ballast and capacitors. For additional wiring information, see MECC ALTE GENERATOR wiring schematics on pages 59-61.

Page 47

MAINTENANCE

6/9/2011

The Safety messages that follow have WARNING level Electrocution Hazards.

 Only qualified electricians should ser-

vice or perform replacement procedures. Ballast and capacitors are capable of discharging high voltage. Always use appropriate personal safety clothing and gear when servicing electrical components.

 High voltage is present when engine is

running. Never attempt to service electrical components while engine is running.

 Do not operate the light tower if the in-

sulation on the electrical wiring is cut or worn, or if bare wires are exposed. Repair or replace damaged wiring before starting the engine.
