Cleaning
WARNING
Entanglement / Sever Hazard
Failure to shut down the engine before cleaning the unit
could result in death or serious injury. Always shut down
the engine before cleaning the unit.
WARNING
Burn Hazard
Shut down the engine and lights and allow ample time for
components to cool before cleaning the unit. Failure to do
so could result in serious burns.
NOTICE
Use caution when using compressed air or water / steam
pressure washers. Do not pressure–clean electrical
components, as this may cause damage.
Keeping the light tower clean is important to ensure
proper operation. Dirt and dust buildup acts as an
insulator and may cause the engine, generator and light
assemblies to operate at excessively high temperatures.
Use the following as cleaning guidelines:
1. Clean the light tower trailer to remove all dust, dirt or
other foreign material.
2. Clean the light tower and light fixture assemblies with
a damp cloth or sponge.
3. Clean all electrical wiring and components by hand
using non-corrosive cleaner.
4. Clean the inside of the engine compartment.
5. Clean any oil or liquid spills inside the engine
compartment.
6. Empty the fluid containment tray (if equipped). See
Draining the Fluid Containment Tray.
