SETUP
A. Move the light tower to desired location keeping the following in mind:
1. The light tower should not be placed where those working under the light are either:
a. Forced to look into the light regularly.
b. Forced to work with their backs to the light (shadows will block the light from the
work area).
2. The area where the tower is positioned should be relatively level for safe and proper
operation of the unit.
3. The light tower should be located on the same level or on ground higher than the work
area.
B. Use tire chocks in front of and behind each tire whenever possible. Always use tire
chocks on an incline.
C. Disconnect the towing chain.
D. Unhitch from the towing vehicle as follows:
1. Rotate the tongue jack into position (90 degrees), release the hitch pin and raise the
tongue off the towing vehicle.
E. Level the trailer , using the jacks as follows:
1. Extend the front outriggers until the outrigger pins lock into place. Rotate
the jack on each outrigger into vertical position and lock into place.
2. Rotate the rear jack and lock into the vertical position.
3. Start at the highest jack position. Rotate the jack handle until the jack foot touches the
ground.
4. Raise the other jacks to level trailer.
OUTRIGGERS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO LIFT THE TIRES OFF
THE GROUND.
Insure that all jacks are down to prevent the tower from
tipping over backwards when raised.

trailer frame.
November 2006
G. When applicable, install the floodlights on the crossarm.
1. Remove the light fixtures from their packing boxes and install them on the crossarm
with the lens facing the ground.
2. The cord on the fixture should be on the side closest to the trailer so the cord entry is
beneath the fixture when the tower is raised (this reduces moisture problems and
insures the water weep hole in the fixture is down).
3. Set the vertical aim for each light fixture by adjusting the light fixtures and tightening
the lower bolt.
Never adjust fixtures with power on.
4. Set the spread between the fixtures horizontally by adjusting the fixtures and tightening
the mounting nut.
5. The light fixtures may be left on the unit when towed around the job site.
6. Plug each fixture into the receptacles provided. Plug into the numbered receptacles in
a clockwise rotation starting at the upper or 1:00 o’clock position. This makes trouble
shooting easy without lowering the tower.
If Tungsten Halogen lamps are used, the cord must be routed
and secured away from the fixture. Failure to do so may
result in cord burn-through and short circuit due to the high
fixture temperature.

RECOMENDED ENGINE OIL & FUEL
KUBOTA D1105 DIESEL ENGINE
Engine oil should be MIL-L-2104C or have properties of API classification of CD grades or
higher. Change the type of engine oil according to the ambient operating temperature:
Above 77°F (25°C)SAE 30
32°F to 77°F (0 to 25°C)SAE 20
Below 32°F (0°)SAE 10W
SAE 10W-30
**Use #2 diesel fuel.**
NOTES:
1.The temperatures in the table are the ambient temperatures at the time when the engine
is started. If the running ambient temperatures are much higher than the starting temperatures, a compromise must be struck and a higher viscosity oil used. Multi-grade oils
overcome the problem, provided they possess a suitable specification.
2.MIL-L-2104B or MIL-L-2104C or API CD must also be used if the sulfur content of the fuel
exceeds 0.5%.
3.Always use a reputable brand of diesel fuel. The sulfur content should be below 0.5%
(higher sulfur content would require more frequent oil changes). Observe strict cleanliness when filling the fuel tank.
4.Check the engine oil level before starting the engine or more than five minutes after it
has been stopped. Remove the dipstick, wipe clean, reinsert it, take it out again, and
check the oil level. If the oil level is too low, remove the oil filler cap and add new oil until
the FULL line on the dipstick is reached.

WIRE ROPE REPLACEMENT
CRITERIA FOR REPLACEMENT OF WIRE ROPE – TEREX LIGHT TOWERS
The wire ropes used to raise and lower the masts on a TEREX Light Tower are probably some of
the most important mechanical parts used in day-to-day operation of the machinery. It is therefore very important that the cables be inspected on a frequent basis (once a month) for wear and
tear, and immediately in the event of possible damage due to operator error in using the winch, or
possible damage from other equipment.
NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR
When used properly, the wire ropes should give years of trouble-free service, depending on how
often the masts are raised and lowered. The rule of thumb at TEREX is that if the tower is raised
and lowered an average of once per day, that the cables should be replaced every two
years of service.
NORMAL INSPECTION
The wire ropes are constructed of 7 strands of 19 plow steel wires each twisted together, and
then the assembly galvanized to resist corrosion. Using a wadded-up cloth or heavy leather
gloves (to avoid being pricked by a broken wire), run a hand up and down a length of the cable.
If any exterior wires are broken, they will lift up from main body of the cable and become visible.
For any given 1 foot of cable length; if there are 4 or more wires each, on any 2 or more strands
broken, the suspect rope should be replaced immediately.
DAMAGE INSPECTION
If any nicks (partial strand cut through), kinks (permanent bends), or weld spatter on the cable
(from field service) are observed, the suspect wire rope should be changed immediately. If
there is a crushed spot somewhere on the wire rope, it should be replaced only if the width of
the crushed spot exceeds 1-1/4 times the nominal diameter of the cable (5/16” on a 1/4” cable,
and 7/32” on a 3/16” cable), or if there are broken wires at the point of damage.

WIRE ROPE REPLACEMENT
BROKEN CABLE REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
1. PREPARATION
1.1Collapse tower to where mast is retracted, then pivot tower to horizontal position.
1.2Remove the tower from the trailer and place it on a work surface such as two saw horses.
2. REMOVING TOP CABLE AND TOP MAST SECTION
2.1Tie middle section and large section together by wrapping band, cable, chain, or rope around
the sheave brackets on these two sections. This insures that the middle section stays inside
the large section during removal of the small section.
2.2Remove or lock the telescope lock pin open. This is the pin that locks the three sections
together during travel.
2.3Drill out the aluminum pop rivets holding the plastic guides at the top of the middle section.
Using a screwdriver, remove these guides.
2.4Remove the clevis pin anchoring the cable to the top of the middle section and remove the
clevis pin and the sheave from the middle section.
2.5Pass the free end of the cable through the sheave slot between the middle and small section,
and out of the top of the tower. Pull the cable and the small section completely out of the
middle section together. Be sure to keep the cable tight; if slack accumulates it is most
difficult to remove.
2.6Unfasten the cable by removing the bolt at the base of the small section.
3. REINSTALLING THE SMALL SECTION
3.1Fasten new cable to the base of the small section.
3.2Reversing the procedure described in steps 2.1 through 2.5, reinstall the small section.
3.3Reinstall the plastic guides with new pop rivets. New plastic guides should be used, but the
old guides can be used if their mounting position is shifted to the point where new holes can
be drilled in the tower section to provide a good fit when installing new pop rivets.
4. REMOVING THE LOWER CABLE AND MIDDLE TOWER SECTION
4.1Remove or lock open the telescope lock pin if not previously done in step 2.2.
4.2Drill out the aluminum pop rivets holding the plastic guides at the top of the large section.
Using a screwdriver, remove these guides.
4.3Remove the cable from winch drum.
4.4Remove the sheave clevis pin and the sheave from the top of the large section.
4.5If the old cable is not frayed between the winch and the bottom mast pulley, attach a flexible
“fish wire” or “snake” (wire, rope cord, etc.) to the end of the cable to be used to thread the
new cable through the lower tower and pulleys. This can be done by “untwisting” the cable
and inserting the wire or cord into the middle of the cable and thus letting the cable twist
back tightly around the fish wire. If the old cable is frayed, cut off the frayed portion and
proceed as above and then remove tower and cable as instructed in section 4.6.
Part No. 833002 Rev AAL4000 Light Tower39
Page 40
WIRE ROPE REPLACEMENT
4.6Pass the free end of the cable through the sheave slot between the large and middle sections
and out of the top of the tower. Pull the cable and the middle section completely out of the
large section altogether. Be sure to keep the cable tight, if slack accumulates it is most
difficult to remove.
4.7If the fish wire doesn’t work, it is necessary to remove the square mast section from the
round mast section. Remove the pivot pin from the pivot post and lift the mast from the pivot
post and place the assembly on a work surface. Remove the hex nut from the bottom of the
round section, remove the “T” bolt at the top of the round section, and pull the square mast
assembly out of the round section, and proceed as instructed in section 4.6.
4.8Unfasten the cable by removing the bolt at the base of the middle section.
5. REINSTALLING THE LOWER CABLE AND MIDDLE SECTION
5.1If the “fish wire” worked, attach the cable to the fish wire and pull through the pulleys and the
round section.
5.2If the square tower section was removed from the round section, thread the cable through the
pulleys at the bottom of the large section and out of the tubular stud. Reinstall the large
square section into the round section. Install the “T” locking bolt, and the hex nut on the
bottom of the round section. The hex-locking nut should be tightened and then backed off
approximately one-half turn or until the tower rotates freely.
5.3Fasten the new cable to the base of the middle section.
5.4Reversing the procedures detailed in sections 4.4 through 4.7, reinstall the middle section.
5.5Fasten the new cable to the winch drum.
5.6Reinstall the plastic shims as described in section 3.3.
