vehicle with a pintle hook. To use a ball coupler,
follow the procedure below.
To reverse the tow hitch:
1. Remove the two large bolts that hold the tow hitch
to the draw bar.
2. Lift the hitch off the drawbar and rotate the hitch
end-to-end.
3. Return the hitch to the draw bar, making sure to
align the bolt holes.

Lowering the tower
Before moving or storing the light tower, lower the
mast and lock it in place. To lower the tower, see
Figure 3.6 and use the following instructions.
1. Turn off the tower lights and the engine. For
increased lamp life, allow the lights to cool for 15
minutes before proceeding.
2. Rotate the mast:
a Loosen the rotation-lock knob.
b Use the handle on the mast to rotate the mast until
the mast-mounted winch is on the same side of the
mast as the trailer tow hitch.
c Tighten the rotation-lock knob.
3. Lower the tower:
• Rotate the mast-mounted winch handle to lower
the tower until the lights are down as far as
possible.
• While lowering the mast, ensure the power cord
on the mast collapses freely and does not become
pinched or tangled.
