TO LOWER MAST AND LIGHTS
1. Turn off lights.
2. Loosen black knob and rotate tower until
the black triangles are aligned and re-
tighten knob.
3. Operate the extend cylinder toggle switch
DOWN to lower the lights to the lowest
vertical position.
4. Turn the black knob counterclockwise and
lift to release the latch from the strike plate.
Retighten the knob with the latch disen-
gaged from the strike plate.
5. Operate the lift cylinder toggle switch down
to lower the mast from vertical to horizontal

with the winch handle pointing directly
forward before the latch can be released.
This aligns the tower correctly with the
pin in the rear tower support, preventing
tower extension during towing.
