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 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.

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 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 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

LTW 6K/8K Safety Information

wc_si000299gb.fm 13

 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

Operator

training

Before operating the machine:

 Read and understand the operating instructions contained in all manuals

delivered with the machine.

 Familiarize yourself with the location and proper use of all controls and safety

devices.

 Contact Wacker Neuson for additional training if necessary.

When operating this machine:

 Do not allow improperly trained people to operate the machine. People

operating the machine must be familiar with the potential risks and hazards

associated with it.

Personal

Protective

Equipment

(PPE)

Wear the following Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) while operating this

machine:

 Close-fitting work clothes that do not hinder movement

 Safety glasses with side shields

 Hearing protection

 Safety-toed footwear

Work area

 Make sure the area immediately surrounding the Light Tower is clean, neat, and

free of debris.

 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.

Machine

setup

 Make sure the machine is on a firm, level surface and will not tip, roll, slide, or

fall while operating.

 Make sure the machine is well-grounded and securely fastened to a good

earthen ground per national and local regulations.

 The trailer must be leveled and the outriggers extended before raising the tower.

The outriggers must be extended while the tower is up.

 Never connect the machine to other power sources, such as supply mains of

power companies.

Machine

integrity

 Do not start a machine in need of repair.

 Do not use the machine if the insulation on any electrical cord is cut or worn

through.

Safety Information LTW 6K/8K

14 wc_si000299gb.fm

 Do not operate the lights without the protective lens cover in place or with a lens

cover that is cracked or damaged.

 Replace or repair electrical components with components that are identical in

rating and performance to the originals.

While

operating the

machine

 Keep the area behind the trailer clear of people and obstructions while raising

and lowering the tower.

 Do not raise the tower or operate the machine in high winds. Lower the tower

immediately if high winds or electrical storms are expected in the area.

 Do not raise, lower, or turn the tower while the unit is operating.

 If 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.

 Do not disengage the tower locking pin while the tower is up.

 Lamps become extremely hot in use! Allow the lamps and fixtures to cool 10–15

minutes before handling.

 Lower the tower when not in use.

1.4 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

 Replace damaged lamps according to the instructions in section Removing and

Replacing Lamps.

 Alternative lamps that automatically extinguish when the outer envelope is

broken or punctured are commercially available.

WARNING

Personal injury hazard. Broken or punctured lamps can cause serious skin burns

and eye inflammation from shortwave ultraviolet radiation.

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

► Replace damaged lamps immediately.
