Manufacturer’s
approval
Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components, contain
or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
NOTICE: State Health Safety Codes and Public Resources Codes specify that in
certain locations spark arresters be used on internal combustion engines that use
hydrocarbon fuels. A spark arrester is a device designed to prevent accidental discharge of sparks or flames from the engine exhaust. Spark arresters are qualified
and rated by the United States Forest Service for this purpose. In order to comply
with local laws regarding spark arresters, consult the engine distributor or the local
Health and Safety Administrator.
This manual contains references to approved parts, attachments, and modifications. The following definitions apply:
Approved parts or attachments are those either manufactured or provided by
Wacker Neuson.
Approved modifications are those performed by an authorized Wacker
Neuson service center according to written instructions published by Wacker
Neuson.

1.2Machine Description and Intended Use
This machine is a mobile, trailer-mounted light tower. The Wacker
Neuson Light Tower consists of a trailer with a cabinet containing a diesel
engine, a fuel tank, a control panel, and an electric alternator. A
telescoping tower with four metal halide lights is mounted to the top of the
cabinet. Dual winches tilt, raise, and lower the telescoping tower. As the
engine runs, the generator converts mechanical energy into electric
power. The metal halide lights run off this power. Receptacle(s) are also
present to power auxiliary loads. The operator uses the control panel to
operate and monitor the machine.
This machine is intended for the illumination of outdoor areas. This
machine is also intended for the purpose of supplying electrical power to
connected loads. Refer to the product specifications for the output volt age
and frequency of this Light Tower, and fo r the maximum output power limit
of this Light Tower.
This machine has been designed and built strictly for the intended use
described above. Using the machine for any other purpose could
permanently damage the machine or seriously injure the operator or other
persons in the area. Machine damage caused by misuse is not covered
under warranty.
•The following are some examples of misuse:
•Connecting a load that has voltage and frequency requirements that
are incompatible with the machine output
•Overloading the machine with a device that draws excessive power
during either continuous running or start-up
•Operating the machine in a manner that is inconsistent with all
federal, state and local codes and regulations
•Using the machine as a ladder, support, or work surface
•Using the machine to carry or transport passengers or equipment
•Using the machine to tow other machines (unless factory equipped)
•Using the machine as a hoist or hanging items from the tower
•Operating the machine outside of factory specifications
•Operating the machine in a manner inconsistent with all warnings
found on the machine and in the Oper ator’s Manual
This machine has been designed and built in accordance with the latest
global safety standards. It has been carefully engineered to eliminate
hazards as far as practicable and to increase operator safety through
protective guards and labeling. However, some risks may remain even
after protective measures have been taken. They are called residual
risks. On this machine, they may include exposure to:
