HYDRAULIC LIFT VERTICAL MAST OPERATION
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
The Allmand MAXI-LITE EX V Series hy-
draulic lift tower assembly consists of a seven
section telescoping mast which can be ex-
tended by operating a single hydraulic cylin-
der.
The light bar assembly can be rotated into
position by releasing the light bar park pin.
To release the park pin, pull the ring and turn
it 90 degrees so that the pin remains in the
retracted position. The light bar is designed
to rotate with enough resistance so that the
bar will stay in the desired position once the
operator has directed the lights on the work
zone. if the light bar rotates too easily or does
not stay in position, remove the light bar cov-
er and tighten the nut to achieve the desired
resistance and replace the light bar cover.
ALWAYS CHECK FOR OVERHEAD OB-
STRUCTIONS BEFORE RAISING AND
LOWERING MAST. ALLOW 35' CLEAR-
ANCE. AVOID ALL OVERHEAD ELECTRI-
CAL WIRES.
TO PREVENT INSTABILITY AND HELP
ENSURE SAFE OPERATION, ALWAYS
PROVIDE PROPER GROUND SUPPORT
BEFORE RAISING MAST.
TO SET UP TOWER AND RAISE
LIGHTS
1. Extend the four side outrigger jacks and
tongue jack to stabilize and level the trailer.
NOTE: Jacks should be placed only on
rm footing.
BEFORE RAISING MAST, VISU-
ALLY INSPECT EQUIPMENT FOR
DAMAGE OR WEAR. FAMILIARIZE
YOURSELF WITH THE LOCATION
AND FUNCTION OF ALL OPERAT-
ING PARTS BY STUDYING THIS
MANUAL. OBSERVE ALL CAU-
TION DECALS LOCATED ON
EQUIPMENT
SAFETY WARNING!
SAFETY WARNING!
THE SUPPLEMENTAL GROUND ROD IS
A SAFETY DEVICE THAT MAY REDUCE
THE CHANCE OF PERSONAL INJURY
FROM STRAY ELECTRICAL CURRENT.
Therefore, Allmand recommends using
the ground rod. However, it is the user’s
responsibility to determine the require-
ments and/or applicability of local, state,
or national electrical code which governs
the use of the ground rod.
2. Attach the ground rod to the grounding lug,
and drive the ground rod fully for adequate
electrical ground, as required by local, state,
or national code.
3. Start engine.(NOTE: Tower may be raised
and lowered as needed without engine run-
ning.)
4. While the tower is still in the down position,
position the light bar and lamps so they are
aimed at the work zone and tilted at the ap-
proximate angle to get maximum coverage
once the tower is raised.
5. Stand clear of the tower when raising and
lowering the lights.

HYDRAULIC LIFT VERTICAL MAST OPERATION
VISUALLY INSPECT EQUIPMENT FOR
DAMAGE BEFORE OPERATING. ALLOW
ADEQUATE CLEARANCE AROUND TRAIL-
ER FOR TOWER AND INSURE THAT NO
PERSONS ARE STANDING IN UNDER THE
LIGHTS WHEN LOWERING.
TO LOWER TOWER AND LIGHTS
1. Turn off lights.
2. Operate the hydraulic lift switch in the down
position to lower the lights to the lowest
vertical position. When tower reaches
the bottom, run switch for three additional
seconds to ensure that the tower is at it’s
lowest possible position.
3. Stop engine.
4. Rotate the light bar into the transport park
position (in line with trailer) and engage the
park pin by twisting on the park pin ring until
the plunger is released and the pin engages
the hole in the light bar.
SAFETY WARNING!
6. Operate the hydraulic lift switch to the
“up” position to raise tower to the de-
sired height.
7. If lights need to be adjusted for better
lighting of the work zone after raising the
tower, lower the tower using the “down”
switch position and make desired adjust-
ments to the light bar and light xtures.
Raise the tower into position. Repeat
this step if necessary.
NOTE: Ensure the detent pins are prop-
erly engaged in the outriggers before
towing.
5. Reposition the lamp xtures for transport
by pulling them down into the lowest posi-
tion and face the xtures toward the center
of the trailer.
6. Remove ground rod from earth. Discon-
nect wire from ground lug and secure in
trailer
7. Raise jacks and rear stand, retract outrig-
gers and secure for towing

POWER UNIT INSTALLATION & START UP PROCEDURE
Fill the reservoir with automatic transmission uid or any clean
hydraulic uid having a viscosity index that is suitable for the
climatic conditions in which the unit will be operated. Recom-
mended operating temperature range is +20° F to +180° F.
GENERAL START UP INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: The ports are marked on the casting ‘UP’ and ‘DN’.
When facing the power unit with the motor up, plug the right
hand, or ‘DN’ port. Jog the motor until oil ows from the left
hand, or ‘UP’ port. If oil does not ow from the ‘UP’ port, re-
verse the wire leads on the motor, and repeat. The pump is
now primed. Connect the hose (or tubing) to the ‘UP’ port and
tighten. Connect the other hose end to the blind end of a fully
retracted hydraulic cylinder. With the hose tting loose, operate the power unit until oil (and
no air) bleeds from the tting. Tighten the tting. Rell the reservoir.
