IV. INSTALL THE FLOODLIGHTS ON THE CROSSBEAM A. Remove the light fixtures from the tower by removing detent pin and rotating the clamp to free the lights. Install them on the cross arm studs with the lens facing the ground. B. The cord on the fixture should be on the side closest to the trailer so the cord entry is beneath the fixture when the tower is raised ( this reduces moisture problems and ensures the water weep hole in the fixture is down). C. Set the vertical aim for each light fixture

IV. START THE ENGINE / GENERATOR SET A. CAUTION: Ensure the circuit breakers are turned “OFF”. This prevents the engine from starting under load and prevents electrical equipment from being subjected to improper voltage and frequency. B. Check the oil, fuel, and coolant (if liquid cooled) levels. If the fuel tank is empty, it may be necessary to bleed the fuel line after filling the tank (see engine instruction book for procedure). C. Turn the ignition switch to the “RUN” position (see diagram

CRITERIA FOR REPLACEMENT OF WIRE ROPE – TEREX-AMIDA LIGHT TOWERS The wire ropes used to raise and lower the masts on a TEREX-Amida Light Tower are probably some of the most important mechanical parts used in day-to-day operation of the machinery. It is therefore very important that the cables be inspected on a frequent basis (once a month) for wear and tear, and immediately in the event of possible damage due to operator error in using the winch, or possible damage from other equipment.
