Ground Surface
WARNING
Rollover Hazard
Positioning the light tower trailer on soft, unstable or
unlevel ground could cause trailer rollover, resulting in
death or serious injury. Always position the trailer on a
firm, level and stable surface and deploy the outriggers
before raising the light tower.
• Do not set up the light tower trailer on an incline of more
than 2.8° (5% grade) front-to-back and side-to-side.
• Do not position or set up the light tower trailer on unlevel
or unstable ground. Set up on smooth, flat and solid
ground surfaces only.
Wind
WARNING
Rollover Hazard
• Operating with the light tower raised in winds exceed-
ing 53 mph (85 km/h) can cause trailer tip-over result-
ing in death or serious injury. Do not operate with
the light tower raised in winds exceeding 53 mph (85
km/h).
When the light tower is in the operating position it is located
in the middle of a three-point outrigger system for optimum
balance and stability. This system was engineered to allow
the light tower to remain operational in sustained winds of 53
mph (85 km/h) with the light tower extended to full height and
the outriggers in position on a firm, level surface.

until the pin locks the outrigger in the transport posi-
tion.
e. Repeat for the opposite stabilizer jack and outrigger.
