Ensure that there is free space above the roof (no obstructions).
- Engage the light mast control system:
◊
Press switches (S186/3) and (S187u) simultaneously.
- Lift the flood lights:
◊
Press switch (S187u) until desired height is reached; if
required lower the system using switch (S187d) (do not use
switch (S187d) for parking the light mast).
- Engage the alternator: *
◊
Please refer to the "Alternator Operation" chapter or supply the light
mast via the external light mast power supply connection (XLM). *
- Engage the flood lights by using switch (S186/1) and/or (S186/3).
- The light mast can be rotated to the left by using switch (S394l)
or to the right by using switch (S394r).
- The flood lights can be tilted upwards by using switch (S197u)
or downwards by using switch (S197d).
CAUTION !
Do not drive with flood lights lifted!
Light mast should be operated only on level ground.
Minimum distance 1 m to overhead lines of up to 1 kV
Minimum distance to high-voltage line:
3 m 1 kV - 110 kV, 4 m 110 kV - 220 kV, 5 m 220 kV - 380 kV
Light mast operation - shutting down
- Switch off the flood lights:
◊
Press switch (S186_) again.
- Lower the flood lights:
◊
Press switch (S187p).
◊
The light mast will be returned and lowered automatically.
Note:The flood lights are only ready for lifting when the
parking brake is applied. The flood lights can be
engaged only in the lifted position.
Pressing switch (SF1) will disengage all active light mast
functions.
ATTENTION !
After working for a long period, let the flood lights cool down
before lowering them! *
Do not extend the light mast when wind velocity exceeds 100 km/h!
Maintenance
Extend the light mast approx. 1m once a month and lower
it by means of base-valve (13) on light mast in order to
drain the condensate.
The base-valve can also be used as an emergency lower-
ing valve in case of a pneumatic failure. For greasing use
only "Fireco Grease". The mast is permanent lubricated;
an additional lubrication is therefore not necessary.
