Combustion 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.

Laws

pertaining to

spark

arresters

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 dis-

charge 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.

1.2 Machine Description and Intended Use

Machine

description

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 vertically mounted to the top of the machine. A hydraulic cylinder,

combined with a cable and pulley system, raises and lowers 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 provided to power

auxiliary loads. The operator uses the control panel to operate and monitor the

machine.

Intended use

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 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 startup

 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 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 remain even after protective measures have been taken.

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

LTN 6K / 8K-V Safety Information

1.8 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:
