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
Drain the Fluid Containment System (FCS).
