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 oper-

ate 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 dam-

age caused by misuse is not covered under warranty.


