The following symbols in this manual signal potentially dangerous conditions to the operator or equipment.
Read this manual carefully. Know when unsafe conditions can exist. Then, take necessary steps to protect
personnel, as well as equipment.
WARNING: TEREX Amida uses this symbol throughout this manual to warn of possible fatal injury.
CAUTION: TEREX Amida uses this symbol to point out potential damage to equipment.
Lamps, fuels, electrical equipment, batteries, exhaust gases, loose fasteners, and moving parts present potential
hazards that could result in serious personal injury. Be diligent in following the procedures recommended
below . Also, observe the many additional general safety rules practiced by trained operation and maintenance
personnel in your company and industry. CAUTION: Always wear a hard hat when operating the light
tower!
•Guard Against Electrical Shock
This light tower also has provisions for producing high voltage electricity (up to 480 volts) that can produce
a fatal shock to a person who accidentally places their self in the electrical circuit.
Use every precaution to avoid contact with the high voltage electric circuit.
Beware of a cut or damaged power cord. Replace immediately.
Take extra precautions when troubleshooting electrical problems:
•When troubleshooting indicates a malfunction in the high voltage AC system, then pass the troubleshooting
task on to a qualified and trained electrician.
•Disconnect electrical power and turn off engine before removing protective covers on high voltage enclosures.
•Understand that the electrical circuits in this light tower complete their paths back to the generator within
the equipment. The neutral conductor at the generator is bonded to the equipment frame.
•Ground wires within the system are also bonded to the equipment frame.
•Only use a multimeter (or voltmeter) with two well-insulated probes rated for 750 volts.
•Keep one hand in your pocket when touching the multimeter probe to hot conductors. This will prevent
electricity from passing into one hand and out the other, a path that takes the electricity across the heart.
Always disconnect power from the circuit being measured before connecting test leads to high voltage
points.
•Do not try to position both probes at once. Instead, clamp the common insulated alligator clip to a neutral
wire and then probe for voltages with the other probe.
•Never clamp to a hot wire since a severe shock could be received by contact with the other probe.
•Do not use a multimeter with leads or probes that have damaged insulation.
•Inspect the ground cable between the generator set and the frame. If damaged, replace immediately.
•Treat all conductors as potentially hot, especially when troubleshooting malfunctioning equipment. Jewelry
should be removed before working around live conductors.
•Proceed through the circuitry systematically , operating only one section at a time.
•Use tools with insulated handles when working within the reach of live conductors.
•Maintain a good footing. If you slip, or a tool drops, do not grab for it if live conductors are within reach.
•Concentrate on the task until the danger from high voltage is removed.

•Guard Against Battery Hazards
Lead acid batteries can be dangerous. The sulfuric acid in the battery can cause severe skin and eye burns.
The hydrogen gas emitted during charging can explode if an arc or flame is present near the battery. Use
precautions to prevent acid burns or explosive conditions.
Do not smoke while servicing batteries.
Do not allow tools to touch battery terminals and create an arc. Do not test battery voltage by setting up a
brief arc at the terminals. Use a multimeter instead.
Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery when working on the engine or other parts to prevent acci-
dental arcing. Disconnect the negative cable at the end away from the battery.
Always wear eye protection when servicing the battery .
When charging the battery, do not remove the vent caps.
If acid does get on skin or in eyes, immediately flush under running water, and then obtain medical help as
soon as possible.
•Guard Against Fire Hazard
Use caution with diesel fuel and motor oil because of fire hazards.
Do not fill fuel tank while engine is running.
Do not smoke or use open flame near the unit or the fuel tank.
Be sure the fuel supply has a positive shut-off valve.
Do not replace fuel lines with materials different from those supplied as original equipment.
Have a fire extinguisher nearby. Be sure the extinguisher is properly maintained and be familiar with its
proper use. Extinguishers rated ABC by the NFPA are appropriate for all applications.
Keep this unit clean of excessive build-up of spilled oil and fuel. Accumulated oil and fuel can cause over-
heating and subsequent engine damage as well as present a fire hazard.
Remember that EXHAUST GASES ARE TOXIC. WARNING: DO NOT USE INDOORS unless
properly ventilated. Provide an adequate exhaust system to properly expel discharged gases. Check exhaust
system regularly for leaks. Ensure periodically that the exhaust manifolds are secure and not warped. Make
sure the unit is well ventilated.
•Protect The Environment And Practice Good Industrial Hygiene
Prevent pollution by catching used oil in a container for proper disposal.
Wash hands to remove oil and fuel. Practice good industrial hygiene.
Maintain an adequate exhaust system to properly expel discharged gases. Check the exhaust system regu-
larly for leaks.

Page 7
•Do Not Touch Hot Parts
The exhaust manifold and tailpipe are very hot. Parts of the engine are also hot. Avoid touching hot parts of
the engine or tailpipe. Use protective gloves when handling hot parts.
•Be Alert And Attentive To The T ask
Read the safety instructions and operating procedures before attempting to troubleshoot or work on this unit.
Also read the engine manual, which is a separate booklet that is provided with this manual.
Do not work on this equipment when mentally or physically fatigued.
Do not work on this equipment when under the influence of performance impairing drugs or alcohol.
If this manual becomes lost, order a new one from TEREX-Amida so future operation and maintenance
personnel may read these instructions.
•Beware of Moving Parts
Avoid being hit or pinched by the moving parts of this unit.
Loose jackets, shirts, neckties, or sleeves should not be worn while working or running a unit.
Only remove guards or protective devices from unit temporarily to gain access for maintenance. Always
replace guards and protective devices promptly .
Keep your hands away from moving parts. Particularly, be sure to keep hands clear of the blower and
alternator belts when the engine is running.
•Beware of Traffic Hazards
Stand clear of traffic when starting or checking the unit along the road.
Check the fuel tank, oil pan, and fuel and oil lines for leaks that would spill fuel or oil on the road.
Check fasteners and mounting brackets periodically to insure all are tight and nothing is in danger of falling
off during transit.
•Use Only Equal Replacement Parts
When a part fails and needs to be replaced only use equivalent size, length, thread, grade, and material.
Replace stainless steel fasteners with stainless steel fasteners. The engine may use metric or SAE bolts, but
all other bolts are generally SAE thread. Be sure to use Grade 8 bolts and nuts to mount the genset to the trailer.
Replace the fuel and oil hoses with items of equal material, diameter and length.
Contact the manufacturer, TEREX-Amida, regarding replacement parts to ensure a correct repair.
•Use Caution Working Near Lamps
Metal halide lamps produce short wave ultra-violet radiation and can cause serious skin burn, or eye inflammation if the outer envelope of the lamp is broken or punctured. Do not use where people will remain for
more than a few minutes unless adequate shielding or other safety precautions are used.

RECOMMENDED ENGINE OIL & FUEL
KUBOTA D905 DIESEL ENGINE
Engine oil should be MIL-L-2104B/MIL-L-2104C or have properties of API designation of CC/SF or CD/SF.
Change the type of engine oil according to the ambient operating temperature:
Above 86°FSAE 30
32°F to 77°FSAE20
Below 32°FSAE10
SAE 10W-30
Use #2 diesel fuel.
LISTER-PETTER LPW3/LPA3/LPW4/LPWT4 DIESEL ENGINES
Engine oil should be MIL-L-2104C or have properties of API designation of CC/SF or CD/SF. Use CC grade
oil for the initial break-in period. Multi-viscosity oils (such as 10W-40) should not be used at temperatures
above 32°F. Be sure to use the correct oil viscosity for the weather you are experiencing. When this engine
left the factory, it was filled with engine oil as specified on this page.
Change the type of engine oil according to the ambient operating temperature:
86°F and warmerSAE30
Between 39°F & 86°FSAE20/20W-SAE 15W/40
Between 5°F & 39°FSAE 10W
Below 5°FSAE 5W
1.The temperatures in the table are the ambient temperature at the time when the engine is started.
However, if the running ambient temperatures are much higher than the starting temperatures, a compromise must be struck and a higher viscosity oil and fuel used, provided they have a suitable specification.
2.MIL-L-2104B or MIL-L-2104C or API CD oils are recommended, particularly in high temperature
applications. They must also be used if the sulfur content of the fuel exceeds 0.5%.
3.CAUTION: The use of Series III oils in new , or overhauled naturally aspirated engines can inhibit breakin and give rise to cylinder bore glazing in engines on low duty cycles. Therefore, they should not be used
for the first fill in new or newly overhauled naturally aspirated engines, but may be used advantageously
after the first 250 hours, when the engine is operating in hot ambient temperatures and high load factor.
4.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). At low ambient temperatures (below freezing), use winter grade diesel fuel. At
higher temperatures, use summer grade diesel fuel. Observe strict cleanliness when filling the fuel tank.
5.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 plug and add new oil to the FULL line on the dipstick.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
I M P O R T A N T:READ ALL DIRECTIONS IN MANUAL CAREFULLY
BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT
WARNING CAUTIONDO NOT RAISE TOWER IN THE VICINITY OF
OVERHEAD POWER LINES!
O P E R A T I N G I N S T R U C T I O N S
I.MOVE LIGHT TOWER TO DESIRED LOCATION KEEPING THE FOLLOWING IN MIND:
A.The light tower should not be placed where those working under the light are either:
1) Forced to look into the light regularly .
2) Forced to work with their backs to the light (shadows will block the light from the work area).
B.The area where the tower is positioned should be relatively level.
C.The light tower should be located on the same level or on ground higher than the area being lighted
(higher light mounting heights reduce the shadow length).
D.Unit should be level to ensure smooth trouble-free tower telescoping. Tower may not telescope down
properly when unit is not level.
II.UNHITCH FROM THE TOWING VEHICLE AS FOLLOWS:
A.Engage the trailer braking system, especially if trailer is not on level ground. CAUTION: If electrical
or manual braking system is not supplied, chock the wheels instead.
B.Swing the tongue jack into position and raise the tongue off the towing vehicle.
III.LEVEL THE TRAILER, USING THE JACKS AS FOLLOWS:
A.Extend the rear outriggers until the springs lock into place. Swing the jack on each outrigger into verti-
cal position.
B.Start at the highest jack position. Rotate the jack handle until the jack foot touches the ground.
C.Raise the other jacks to level trailer…WARNING…CAUTION…insure that the rear jacks are down to
prevent the tower from tipping over backwards when raised.

IV.INSTALL THE FLOODLIGHTS ON THE CROSSBEAM
A.Remove the light fixtures from the tower by removing detent pin and rotating the clamp to free the
lights. Install them on the cross arm studs with the lens facing the ground.
B.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 ensures the water weep hole in the fixture is down).
C.Set the vertical aim for each light fixture by adjusting the light fixtures and tightening the lower bolt.
D.Set the spread between the light fixtures horizontal aiming by adjusting the fixtures and tightening the
wing nut.
E.The unit may be transported with the light fixtures mounted on the cross-arm if they are pointed toward
the ground.

V.RAISING THE TOWER (refer to drawing above)
A.Remove the tower travel-locking pin from the cradle at the rear of the cabinet.
B.Aim the fixture, both horizontally and vertically, to the estimated angles that will light the work area.
C.Using the winch, raise the tower to the vertical position. The tower-locking pin at the base of the pivot
post will lock automatically and you will hear it “snap” into place. Insert manual pin into locking
device.
D.Release the tension on the cable by backing the winch off slightly and pull the telescoping locking pin on
the galvanized tower section. Hold this out while turning the winch to raise the tower. After the tower
has telescoped slightly, the locking pin can be released. Raise the tower to the desired height.
CAUTION: DO NOT A TTEMPT TO LEAN THE TOWER DOWN WHEN IT IS EXTENDEDSERIOUS DAMAGE MA Y OCCUR!

Page 13
IV.START THE ENGINE / GENERATOR SET
A.CAUTION: Ensure the circuit breakers are turned “OFF”. This prevents the engine from starting under
load and prevents electrical equipment from being subjected to improper voltage and frequency .
B.Check the oil, fuel, and coolant (if liquid cooled) levels. If the fuel tank is empty, it may be necessary to
bleed the fuel line after filling the tank (see engine instruction book for procedure).
C.Turn the ignition switch to the “RUN” position (see diagram below). Press the preheat push button for a
maximum of 7 seconds. Do not engage the preheat button longer than the time specified or damage
may occur.
D.Turn the ignition switch to the “START” position to engage the engine. After the engine starts, release
the switch so that it returns to the “RUN” position. Let the engine come up to speed and stabilize (review the engine operating procedures in the manufacturer’s handbook).
E.T urn on the main circuit breaker.
V.TURN ON THE FLOODLIGHTS
A.Turn the circuit breakers “ON” and check to insure all lamps come on. Allow a minimum of two (2)
minutes for lamps to reach full luminance.
B.If required, rotate the tower to aim the lights as desired. Tighten the tower rotating locking bolt.
C.Adjust the tower vertically and adjust lighting direction of individual fixtures if required.
VI.LOWERING THE TOWER TO TRAVELING POSITION
A.Loosen rotating lock.
B.Using the winch, telescope the tower down to its fully retracted position until the telescoping locking pin
snaps into place.
D.CAUTION: Ensure that the telescoping locking pin locks before pulling the tower locking pin at the
bottom of the pivot post. This ensures the tower is completely lowered and cannot be damaged by
telescoping out while in the travel position.
E.Rotate the tower so that the groove in the galvanized ring at the pivot is pointing to the rear of the trailer
so that the tower can be lowered into the travel position.
13
Page 14
Operating Procedures (cont’d)
F.Pull the vertical locking-pin at the base of the pivot post (the kick-out spring should provide sufficient
pressure to start the tower pivoting over).
G.Let out on the winch cable to lower the tower into the cradle.
H.Insert the rear tower horizontal travel-locking pin into the cradle.
VII.TURN OFF FLOODLIGHTS
A.If operating, turn light circuit breakers off.
B.Turn engine switch to “OFF” to shut down the engine.
CAUTION: Do not shut down engine prior to turning lights off.
C.CAUTION: Allow lamps to cool at least ten (10) minutes before moving the tower to avoid breaking
lamps.
VIII.RELOCATING LIGHT TOWER TO NEW LOCATION
A.Insure that tower has been properly lowered (see section VI) and locking pins are engaged.
B.Insure all fixtures are pointed toward the ground, or mounted on the fixture storage brackets on the lower
tower section.
C.CAUTION: All jacks must be raised and all outriggers locked into travel position.
D.Insure that the coupler is properly secured to the towing vehicle and attached safety chains (if supplied).
Release any manual braking mechanism (if supplied).
E.Do not tow at excessive speeds (60 mph – 100-kmh maximum) as the weight of the light tower can
cause loss of vehicle control, especially under emergency stopping conditions. The standard trailer has
no towing brakes; therefore allow extra distance for stopping.
VI.USE OF LIGHT TOWER AUXILIARY POWER
A.One (1) 30amp/240v Twist-Lock and (1) 20 amp/120v receptacles are provided for auxiliary power.
B.Total auxiliary power cannot exceed main circuit breaker rating. Each lamp operating consumes 10
amps of current @ 120 volts ac.
C.Before plugging in auxiliary power cords, feed them up through the trailer frame and attach to recep-
tacles. Close the cabinet doors to protect control panel and other components from weather (see Miscellaneous Specifications and Routine Maintenance section for power control details).

CRITERIA FOR REPLACEMENT OF WIRE ROPE – TEREX-AMIDA LIGHT TOWERS
The wire ropes used to raise and lower the masts on a TEREX-Amida 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-Amida is that if the tower is raised and lowered an average ofonceper 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.
OPERA TOR ERROR – OTHER MACHINERY DAMAGE
One of the most common reasons for failure of a Light Tower wire rope is due to operator error in using the winch, or
damage to the cable by tools or other machinery. The most common operator error happens when the mast is telescoping
down. When the upper telescoping lock engages, the operator does not pull the lower pivot lock out (located on the
tower base) and keeps on cranking the winch. This results in the cable becoming loose around the drum due to the
tower not pivoting down. This can result in three problems: the loose cable can get trapped underneath itself, resulting
in a sudden or partial “drop” of the mast when the loose section releases at a later time, thus damaging the cable; or the
cable can jump off the winch drum and be damaged by the gears of the winch. The loose cable can also cause the drum to
spin to take up the slack cable. If there is enough friction in the threaded parts of the winch, the drum can cause the crank
handle to start spinning. This can cause the tower to “freefall” and the results can be catastrophic for anyone standing
underneath the tower. A spinning crank handle can also break bones.Other reasons damage can occur are due to some
outside force such as forklift blade nicking or crushing a cable when moving a unit, or an accidental blow or damage by a
hand tool, etc.
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.

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 T OP MAST SECTION
2.1T ie 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. REINST ALLING 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 T OWER 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.
56
Page 57
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. REINST ALLING 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 onehalf 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.

LIGHT FIXTURE TROUBLESHOOTING
DANGER! Do not open fixtures while light circuit breaker is “ON”. Allow lamp to cool before touching.
**T AKE EXTRA PRECAUTIONS WHEN TROUBLESHOOTING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS**
A.Only use a voltmeter with two well-insulated pin probes rated for 600 volts.
B. Treat all conductors as potentially hot.
C. Proceed through circuits systematically, operating only one section at a time.
D.Before disconnecting ballast, turn off circuit breaker and wait 30 seconds for capacitor to dischar ge.
E. If all the lights are out and all the ballasts are receiving power, suspect burned out power cable.
SYMPTOMCAUSESCORRECTIVE ACTION
LAMP WILLCheck Ballast Status Lighta.Input lights should be on. This confirms power is going
NOT STARTto the ballast.
b.Output lights should be on. This confirms power is
coming from ballasts.
c.Output lights should be normal brightness. If one or
more of the output lights stay extra-bright, then the lamp is
not striking.
d.Use this knowledge to diagnose problem.
e.If ballast status light is out, but the floodlight lamp is
working, suspect burned out ballast status lamp and replace
Lamp loose in socket Inspect lamp base to see if there is arcing at center contact
button. Tighten lamp snugly. Check socket for damage.
Replace if defective.
Floodlight Plugs not tightCheck plug and receptacle. Tighten if loose.
Defective BallastInterchange ballast plugs in generator enclosure. If lamp
starts, replace ballast. Check ballast wiring diagram. Check
for swollen capacitors, charred wiring, core and coil, or
other signs of excessive heat.
Low Voltage Check line voltage at ballast input. Voltage should be
within 10% of nameplate rating when operating at normal
load. Increase supply voltage or remove external load.
Improper ballast Proper HID lamps will perform erratically or fail to start on
an improper ballast. The ballast nameplate data should
agree with the line voltage and lamp used. Improper ballast
will cause lamp to fail.
Improper lamp operating Operating position should agree with lamp etch. A BUHOR
position lamp can be operated base up vertical to and including the
horizontal and BD can be operated base down and vertical
to, approaching, but not including the horizontal. A lamp
operated beyond the specified position may not start.
Lamp has been operating;HID lamps require 4 to 8 minutes cool-down time before
cool down time insufficient restarting. Switch off breaker and allow lamp to cool.

SYMPTOMCAUSESCORRECTIVE ACTIONS
SHORT LAMPLamp damagedCheck for outer bulb cracks. If air enters outer bulb, arc tube
LIFEmay continue to burn for 100 hours before failure. Check for
bulb cracks where glass meets the base due to tightening lamp
too firmly in socket. Look for broken arc tube or loose metal
parts. Replace lamp.
Improper ballastBallast nameplate data should agree with lamp line voltage
and lamp use. If improper ballast is used, the lamp life will be
shortened. A mismatch may also cause the ballast to fail.

TRACEABLE NUMBERED WIRING SYSTEM
(Using plug in ballasts to troubleshoot)
When troubleshooting the preceeding problems, minimize down time by following the traceable numbered
wiring system, always follow these steps:
STEP1: Insure all ballasts, which are numbered, are plugged into lead wires with corresponding
numbers.
STEP 2: Looking at the lights from the glass side and following the diagram below, plug each
fixture into the appropriately numbered plug at the top of the tower.
By adhering to the traceable numbered wiring system, troubleshooting, fixture aiming, and fixture control will
follow a standard predictable pattern.

Rear Bearing Inspection Requirements
Leroy-Somer 6 & 8 kw Generators
The rear bearing on all 6 & 8 kw generators should be inspected every two (2) years or 2000 hours, whichever occurs
first. The bearing should be replaced at three (3) years or 3000 hours. Careful attention to this inspection proeedure will
prevent total generator failure resulting from bearing or bearing carrier deterioration.
There are two areas to examine during the inspection. First is the clearance between the bearing outer case and
thegenerator bearing carrier (NDE Bracket). The bearing should fit snugly into the carrier so that it can be rotated only
with some resistance. Side to side movement should be less than .010". If the bearing can be moved easily inside the
carrier or if there is visible evidence of bearing carrier wear, the housing carrier should be replaced with End Kit #836835
(which includes the carrier, bearing and 0-Ring). The second area of concern is the bearing itself. If roughness can be felt
when rotating the outer race of the bearing, the bearing needs to be replaced (#836828). The other area to check is to see
if the outer race will rock back and forth along the bearing axis. If there is movement in this axis, replace the bearing. If
neither of these conditions exist, replace the bearing retaining 0-Ring (#836830) and reassemble. Note: These bearings are
sealed units and cannot be field serviced.
Follow the same procedure at three (3) years or 3000 hours. At this time replace both the bearing and O-Ring as well as
inspecting the bearing carrier.
