5-10 MAINTAINING THE LIGHT TOWER TRAILER
CLEANING THE TRAILER AND LIGHT
TOWER
Keeping the light tower clean is important to ensure
proper operation. Dirt and dust buildup acts as an
insulator and may cause the engine, generator, and
light assemblies to operate at excessively high
temperatures.
Use the following guidelines to clean your light tower:
• Use caution when using compressed air or
water/steam pressure washers. Do not
pressure-clean electrical components, because it
may damage electrical components.
• Clean the light tower and remove all dust, dirt, or
other foreign material.
• Remove dust, dirt, and debris from the radiator.
• Inspect and clean the cooling air intake and exhaust
louvers of the enclosure. Remove dirt or any buildup
that may restrict the cooling air flow.
• If you use a pressure washer, do not direct the spray
on the following areas:
•
•
•
• Inspect and clean all engine linkages so they
operate properly.
CLEANING AND DRAINING THE OPTIONAL
FLUID CONTAINMENT SYSTEM (FCS)
All Maxi-Lite II light towers are equipped with a sealed
bilge, designed to catch fuel, oil, or coolant spills. It can
hold up to 110% of all onboard fluids/liquids. Should a
spill occur, position a suitable container beneath the
unit and remove the bilge drain plug. After the fluid has
been drained, reinstall the drain plug and dispose of the
fluid properly in accordance with EPA or other
governmental guidelines.
