D. Hand Brake

Towing Vehicle and Hitch Considerations

The towing vehicle must be able to safely pull the full trailer

load. Never pull a trailer load that exceeds the vehicle’s

towing capacity; you risk losing control of the trailer and/or

vehicle. Before trailering, always check your vehicle owner’s

manual for maximum towing/trailering load specifications and

maximum gross vehicle weight specifications that include the

fully loaded trailer.

The vehicle must have a towing hitch that is capable of safely

handling the trailering load and tongue weight of the trailer.

Trailer Brakes

The CE NIGHT-LITE PRO II is equipped with service brakes

and a hand brake. The service brakes operate when the light

tower trailer is connected to the tow vehicle. When the towing

vehicle is braking or traveling downhill, the overrun device

acts through the linking components to apply the wheel

brakes.

When the towing vehicle is reversing, the overrun device acts

through the linking components to begin applying the wheel

brakes. However, the backwards rotation of the drum acts on

internal components to cancel out the brake effect, allowing

the trailer to move backwards.

The hand brake operates by pulling the lever until upright

to set the wheel brakes. Note that with the hand brake fully

applied, the trailer is able to move backwards up to 25cm (10

inches) until the gas cylinder in the linkage takes effect.

WARNING

Control Hazard

• A vehicle hitch that is underrated or improperly

installed can lead to loss of control of the trailer and/or

vehicle.

• Never use a hitch size or rating that does not match

the trailer coupler specifications.

Connecting the Trailer Hitch Coupler and Lights

The trailer is equipped with a 40mm (1-9/16 inch) lunette ring.

A trailer coupler for a 50mm (1-31/32 inch) ball hitch is avail-

able.

To change the coupler, remove the two bolts and replace the

existing coupler with the desired coupler.

WARNING

Control Hazard

• Ensure the coupler bolts are tightened before traile-

ring.

1. Connect the tow vehicle hitch to the trailer coupler. Make

sure the coupler is securely attached to the tow vehicle’s

hitch.

2. Connect the breakaway wire (A, Figure 6) to the vehicle’s

hitch frame (B); this will activate the unit’s service brakes

in the event the unit accidentally disconnects from the

towing vehicle.

WARNING

Control Hazard

• Attach the breakaway wire properly and securely

between the towing vehicle and trailer before trailering.

• Never allow the breakaway wire to drag the ground

when trailering.

NOTICE:

Do not allow excessive harness slack. The harness can be

damaged from scraping the ground.

5. Before trailering, check all lights for proper operation.

6. Release the hand brake.

Lifting The Light Tower

The approximate fully loaded weight of the light tower trailer

is 820 kg (1807 lbs) when fully fueled.

The NIGHT-LITE PRO II light tower is equipped with top

forklift pockets (A, Figure 7) and a lifting eye (B) for lifting or

hoisting.

WARNING

Rollover Hazard

• Before lifting, lower the light tower and shut down the

tower lights and the engine; see Shutdown – Prepare

for Trailering.

WARNING

Crush Hazard

• Always make sure the lifting device you are using is in

good condition and is rated for the maximum capacity

of the task to safely lift the light tower trailer.

• Always acquire assistance when using a forklift, crane

or hoist and when unloading.

• Only use the lifting eye on the lifting bar to lift or hoist

the unit with a hoist or crane.

• Only use shackles or a locking-type hook when lifting.

• Do not stand or walk under the unit when lifted and

keep others away.

NOTE: Standard units are supplied with automatic transmis-

sion fluid (ATF), and arctic units are supplied with long life

synthetic hydraulic fluid.

Priming the Hydraulic Pump

Pumps that have been disassembled for repair, or pumps

that have been replaced require proper priming to avoid pos-

sible pump failure. A pump is said to be “primed” when the

internal portions of the pump are filled with oil and all air has

been expelled. To prime the pump:

1. Make sure that the oil reservoir (A, Figure 26) is filled

with oil to the full mark.

2. Place a catch pan under the pump to catch excess oil.

3. Loosen the hose end (B, Figure 26) to allow oil and air to

escape.

4. Turn on the ignition switch and move the tower raise /

lower switch to the “raise” or up position. Do so inter-

mittently, or “jog” the pump. This will expel air and oil

through the loosened fitting. Repeat until oil flow is free

of air.

5. Re-tighten the hose end. Turn off the ignition switch.

6. Remove the catch pan and dispose of the oil following

the guidelines of governmental agencies.

7. Replenish the oil in the reservoir to the full mark.

Once the pump has been primed, the cylinder should be

purged of air. To purge the cylinder of air:

1. Make sure that the oil reservoir is filled with oil to the full

mark.

2. Clean the bleeder fitting (A, Figure 27) on the upper end

of the cylinder barrel.

3. Place a bleeder hose over the end of the bleeder fitting.

Place the other end of the bleeder hose in a suitable

catch container.

4. Turn on the ignition switch and move the tower raise /

lower switch to the “raise” or up position.

5. Open the bleeder fitting. Allow oil and air to bleed out of

the cylinder. Close the bleeder when oil flow is free of air.

6. Remove the catch container and the bleeder hose.

Dispose of the oil in the catch container following the

guidelines of governmental agencies.

7. Move the tower raise / lower switch to the “lower” or down

position. Be sure that the tower is fully lowered. Turn off

the ignition switch.

8. Replenish the oil in the reservoir to the full mark.
