illumination with typical lighting coverage of 5 to 7 acres.
The lights are controlled by two 20 amp circuit breakers.
Each breaker will turn on a pair of lights (top/bottom).

The LT6K is powered by a Tier (4) Kohler, 3-cylinder, water
cooled, direct injection, 12 HP diesel engine that is equipped
with automatic shutdowns for low oil pressure, high coolant
temperature, and alternator charge failure.

The light tower mast has a maximum vertical height of 31.5
feet (9.6 meters) and can be raised by means of a manual
