4.3 Towing
4.3.1 Before towing
Before towing, refer to Figure 4-1 and prepare the message sign as follows:
1. Use the controller, located in the battery box, to “blank” the message sign. (For
instructions, see the controller user-interface manual.)
2. Close and latch the battery box. Do not lower the display cabinet while the battery box
is open.
3. Lower the mast and display cabinet into the travel position:
a. Pull and hold the height locking-pin to release the mast so that it can be lowered.
b. While holding the pin, use the hand-operated winch to start lowering the mast and
cabinet. As they begin to come down, release the pin.
c. Lower the mast until the bottom edge of the display cabinet is within easy reach.
Do not lower it all the way yet.
d. Pull the rotation locking-pin to release the mast so that it can be turned.
e. Rotate the cabinet so that the sign support legs are over the travel cradles.
f. Use the winch to lower the sign support legs into the travel cradles. When lowered
all the way, the height locking-pin snaps into place with an audible “click,” locking
the cabinet in the down position.
g. Reinsert the rotation locking-pin.
DANGER
Falling equipment will cause severe injury or death.
If height locking-pin is stuck, removing the pin may cause
the display cabinet to fall.
■ Do not force pin.
■ Contact factory for assistance.
WARNING
Loose equipment can cause severe injury.
Ensure wind does not catch and unexpectedly rotate
unlocked display cabinet.
