1.2 Machine Description and Intended Use

Machine
description

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
or LED lights is vertically mounted to the top of the cab inet. As the engine runs, the
generator converts mechanical energy into electric power. The metal halide or LED
lights run off this power. Receptacle(s) are also provided 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 machine specifications for the output voltage and frequency, and for the
maximum output power limit of this machine.

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 Operator’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 rema in even after protective measures have been t aken.
They are called residual risks. On this machine, they may include exposure to:

■ Heat, noise, exhaust, and carbon monoxide from the engine

■ Heat from the lights

■ Ultraviolet radiation from the lights

■ Fire hazards from improper refueling techniques

■ Fuel and its fumes

■ Electric shock and arc flash

■ Personal injury from improper lifting the trailer tongue

■ Glare from lights (lights may blind drivers of nearby motor vehicles if the lights

are incorrectly positioned)

LTV Safety Information

1.9 Reporting 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 Wacker Neuson.

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation; and if it finds
that a safety defect exists in a group of trailers, it may order a recall and remedy
campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems
between you, your dealer, or Wacker Neuson.

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