MAXI-LITE II 3-3
LEVELING AND STABILIZING THE
TRAILER
After you determine the appropriate placement of the
light tower trailer at the work site, you must make sure
that the trailer is level and stable prior to starting and
operating the light tower.
Chocking the Wheels
After you position the light tower, you must place the
wheel chocks on both sides of the wheels to hold the
trailer in place while the outriggers are being deployed.
To chock the wheels:
1 Make sure that the trailer is properly positioned on
the work site as described in “WORK SITE
CONSIDERATIONS” on page 3-2.
2 Place a wheel chock on one side of each wheel. If the
trailer is positioned on a slight incline, place a wheel
chock on the downhill side of each wheel first.
3 Place a wheel chock on the other side of each wheel.
Wheel Chocks and Brackets (Optional)
Two pairs of wheel chocks, with storage brackets, are
available from Allmand as on option. These are located
on the front of the machine.
To remove wheel chocks from the brackets:
1 Release the rubber strap from over the top of the two
wheel chocks in the bracket.
2 Remove the wheel chocks from the bracket with an
upward and slightly forward motion, to clear the
louvers immediately above the bracket.
To install the wheel chocks into the brackets:
1 Hold the wheel chocks by the hand hole, with the
curved surface toward you. Tilt the upper portion of
the chocks away from the trailer, to clear the louvers,
as you insert the chocks into the bracket.
2 When both wheel chocks are inserted into the
bracket, pull the rubber strap over the top of both
chocks and hook it into the hole in the bracket to
secure them.
Wheel chocks (four) are stored on the front of the trailer,
two on either side of the tower.

Operating the light tower mast fully raised in winds
exceeding 53 mph (85 km/h) can cause machine
rollover, resulting in death or serious injury. Always
lower the light tower when winds are expected to
exceed 53 mph (85 km/h).
