Operation
Raising the light from the nested position
Using the control box, raise the lower or upper stage. You may also activate both stages simultaneously.
Control switches are of momentary action style and must be held in the “on” position to actuate the
stages.
The KNIGHT2has an override system that precludes rotation of the upper stage until the lower stage
has elevated approximately 16” from the nested position. When the lower stage is below 16” the
following conditions exist:
• Upper stage is prevented from rotating.
• All lights are turned off, including strobe light if equipped, regardless of light switch positions.
• Prevents the upper stage from moving down if upper stage is not centered.
If the supply from the generator is marginal, position the KNIGHT2before turning on lights.
