Raising and Lowering the Mast

Keep area around the unit clear of people while

•

raising and lowering the mast.

• ALWAYS lower the mast when not in use.

• The tower extends up to 23 ft (7 m). Verify area

above trailer is open and clear of overhead wires and obstructions.

• If for any reason any part of the mast hangs up or

winch cable develops slack while raising or lowering tower, stop immediately and contact a GMP ASD.

• NEVER remove safety pin or pull mast locking pin

while tower is up.

Service Safety

This unit uses high voltage circuits capable of causing serious injury or death. Only a qualified and licensed electrician should troubleshoot or repair problems occurring in this equipment.

• Before servicing the unit, verify the control power

switch and circuit breakers are OFF (O), and the negative (-) terminal on the battery is disconnected. DO NOT perform even routine service (oil/ filter changes, cleaning, etc.) unless all electrical components are shut down.

• ALWAYS use extreme caution when servicing this

unit in damp conditions. Do not service the unit if skin or clothing is wet. Do not allow water to collect around the base of the unit.

• DO NOT wash the unit with high pressure hoses,

power washers, or steam cleaners. Water may collect in the unit, causing damage to electrical parts.

• Replace all missing and hard to read decals.

Decals provide important operating instructions and warn of dangers and hazards.

Introduction and Safety

Towing Safety

Towing a trailer requires care. Both the trailer and vehicle must be in good condition and securely fastened to each other to reduce the possibility of an accident. Some states require that large trailers be registered and licensed. Contact your local Department of Transportation office to check on license requirements for your particular unit.

Hitch and Coupling

•

Verify the hitch and coupling on the towing vehicle are rated equal to, or greater than, the trailer's gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR).

• Verify the trailer hitch and the coupling are compat-

ible. Verify the coupling is securely fastened to the vehicle.

• DO NOT tow trailer using defective parts. Inspect

the hitch and coupling for wear or damage.

• Connect safety chains in a crossing pattern under

the tongue.

• Before towing the trailer, verify that the weight of

the trailer is equal across all tires. On trailers with adjustable height hitches, adjust the angle of the trailer tongue to keep the trailer as level as possible.

Reporting Trailer Safety Defects

If you believe your trailer has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Generac Mobile Products, LLC.

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation; and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in an individual problem between you, your dealer, or Generac Mobile Products, LLC.

To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY:1-800-424-9153), go to http://www.safercar.gov; or write to:

Administrator NHTSA 1200 New Jersey Avenue S.E. Washington, DC 20590

You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from http://www.safercar.gov.

Running Lights

Verify directional and brake lights on the trailer are connected and working properly.

Wheels and Tires

•

Inspect trailer tires for wear and proper inflation.

• Verify wheel lug nuts are present and tightened to

the specified torque.

Safe Towing Techniques

•

Practice turning, stopping, and backing up in an area away from heavy traffic prior to transporting the unit.

• Maximum recommended speed for highway towing

is 45 mph (72 km/h). Recommended off-road towing speed is 10 mph (16 km/h) or less, depending on terrain.

• When towing, maintain extra space between vehi-

cles and avoid soft shoulders, curbs, and sudden lane changes.
