The ZFT0 tower (left) is an
upright tower. The ZFT4
tower (right)can be manu-
ally raised or lowered (for
storage or ease of tow-
ing over the road.) Note
the arrows on the photo.
The locking mechanisms
located on each side of the
tower are removed to allow
the tower to raise or lower.
Always reinstall the locking
mechanism on both sides of
the ZFT4 tower immediately
after raising or lowering the
tower. Failure to do so could
result in damage to the
tower or collapse of the tower,
which could result in serious
injury or death.
Depending upon the total aggregate weight of the tower and any installed accessories, it
is advisable to have a second person assist in steadying the tower during the raising and
lowering process.
The ZFT5P tower operates under hydraulic power. The tower will stop raising
or lowering at any point at which the operator releases the switch. However, the
ZFT5P tower should NEVER tow individuals at any position other than full upright
(where the tower will lock automatically).
Towing behind the ZFT5P tower should oc-
cur only with the tower in the full, upright
and locked position. Failure to do so could
result in serious injury or death.
In over-the-road transit, the tower should
be only full upright or fully lowered to
avoid potential damage to the tower and/
or boat.
Always ensure that there are no people,
powerlines nor objects in the way when
raising and lowering the tower. Individu-
als and their limbs may be subject to in-
jury if caught in the path of the tower.
