1.2 Machine Description and 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 lights is mounted to the top of

the cabinet. Dual winches tilt, raise, and lower 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 present 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 product specifications for the output

voltage and frequency of this Light Tower, 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 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 remain even after protective measures have been taken. They

LTN 6C Safety Information

wc_si000225gb.fm 11

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)

• Typical hazards related to towing a trailer on roads and highways

To protect yourself and others, make sure you thoroughly read and

understand the safety information presented in this manual before

operating the machine.

1.3 Safety Guidelines for Operating the Machine

Safety Information LTN 6C

12 wc_si000225gb.fm

1.3.3 Be sure the machine is on a firm, level surface and will not tip, roll,

slide, or fall while operating.

1.3.4 NEVER start a machine in need of repair.

1.3.5 Lower the tower when not in use, or if high winds or electrical storms

are expected in the area.

1.3.6 Always make certain the machine is well-grounded and securely

fastened to a good earthen ground per national and local regulations.

1.3.7 The tower extends up to 9 m (30 ft.). Make sure the area above the

trailer is open and clear of overhead wires and obstructions.

1.3.8 The lamps become extremely hot in use! Allow the lamp and fixture to

cool 10–15 minutes before handling.

1.3.9 Keep the area behind the trailer clear of people while raising and

lowering the tower! Never raise, lower or turn the tower while unit is

operating!

1.3.10 The trailer must be leveled and the outriggers extended before raising

the tower. The outriggers must remain extended while the tower is up.

1.3.11 If for any reason any part of the tower hangs up or the winch cable

develops slack while raising or lowering the tower, STOP immediately!

Contact an authorized Wacker Neuson service representative.

1.3.12 NEVER remove the tower locking pin while the tower is up!

1.3.13 NEVER use the machine if the insulation on the electrical cord is cut or

worn through.

with a lens cover that is cracked or damaged!

1.3.15 NEVER adjust the tower while the unit is operating.

Do not move the Light Tower while it is operating.

1.3.16 NEVER raise the tower or operate the machine in high winds.

1.3.17 NEVER connect machine to other power sources, such as supply

mains of power companies.

1.3.18 ALWAYS replace or repair electrical components with components

that are identical in rating and performance as the original component.

LTN 6C Safety Information

wc_si000225gb.fm 13

1.4 Operator Safety while Using Internal Combustion Engines

Operating safety

When running the engine:

• Keep the area around exhaust pipe free of flammable materials.

• Check the fuel lines and the fuel tank for leaks and cracks before

starting the engine. Do not run the machine if fuel leaks are present

or the fuel lines are loose.

When running the engine:

• Do not smoke while operating the machine.

• Do not run the engine near sparks or open flames.

• Do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine is running or

immediately after it has been turned off.

• Do not operate a machine when its fuel cap is loose or missing.

• Do not start the engine if fuel has spilled or a fuel odor is present.

Move the machine away from the spill and wipe the machine dry

before starting.

Refueling safety

When refueling the engine:

• Clean up any spilled fuel immediately.

• Refill the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area.

• Replace the fuel tank cap after refueling.

• Do not smoke.

• Do not refuel a hot or running engine.

• Do not refuel the engine near sparks or open flames.

WARNING

Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation and fueling. Failure to

follow the warnings and safety standards could result in severe injury or death.

f Read and follow the warning instructions in the engine owner’s manual and the

safety guidelines below.

DANGER

Exhaust gas from the engine contains carbon monoxide, a deadly poison. Expo-

sure to carbon monoxide can kill you in minutes.

f NEVER operate the machine inside an enclosed area, such as a tunnel, unless

adequate ventilation is provided through such items as exhaust fans or hoses.

Safety Information LTN 6C

14 wc_si000225gb.fm

CO Alarms

Because this machine produces carbon monoxide (CO), Wacker

Neuson recommends that CO alarms be installed in all structures in

close proximity to the machine. CO alarms provide an extra measure

of protection against this poison that you cannot see or smell.

Install battery-operated CO alarms or plug-in CO alarms with battery

backup, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. CO alarms

should be certified to the requirements of the latest safety standards

(UL 2034, IAS 6-96, or CSA 6.19.01). Test the CO alarm batteries

monthly.

1.5 Lamp Safety

Description

The lamps provided with your Light Tower are electric discharge

lamps. They are designed for use with metal halide ballasts only, and

require time to reach full brightness on initial startup and after a power

interruption. These lamps comply with FDA regulation performance

standards 21 CFR 1040-30.

Operating safety

• Do not operate the lamps where people will remain for more than

a few minutes unless adequate shielding or other safety

precautions are used.

• Replace damaged lamps according to the instructions in section

Removing / Replacing Lamps.

• Lamps that automatically extinguish when the outer envelope is

broken or punctured are commercially available.

WARNING

Personal injury hazard. Lamps can cause serious skin burns and eye inflammation

from shortwave ultraviolet radiation if outer envelope of the lamp is broken or punc-

tured.

f Do not operate the Light Tower if a lamp is damaged.

LTN 6C Safety Information
