1.2 Machine Description and Intended Use
Machine This machine is a mobile, trailer-mounted light tower. The Wacker Neuson Light
description Tower consists of a trailer with a cabinet containing a diesel engine, a fuel tank, a
control panel, and an electric alternator. A telescoping tower with four metal halide
or LED lights is vertically mounted to the top of the cabinet. As the engine runs, the
generator converts mechanical energy into electric power. The metal halide or LED
lights run off this power. Receptacle(s) are also provided to power auxiliary loads.
The operator uses the control panel to operate and monitor the machine.

Intended use This machine is intended for the illumination of outdoor areas. This machine is also
intended for the purpose of supplying electrical power to connected loads. Refer to
the machine specifications for the output voltage and frequency, and for the
maximum output power limit of this machine.

This machine has been designed and built strictly for the intended use described
above. Using the machine for any other purpose could permanently damage the
machine or seriously injure the operator or other persons in the area. Machine
damage caused by misuse is not covered under warranty. The following are some
examples of misuse:
■ Connecting a load that has voltage and frequency requirements that are
incompatible with the machine output
■ Overloading the machine with a device that draws excessive power during
either continuous running or start-up
■ Operating the machine in a manner that is inconsistent with all federal, state,
and local codes and regulations
■ Using the machine as a ladder, support, or work surface
■ Using the machine to carry or transport passengers or equipment
■ Using the machine to tow other machines (unless factory equipped)
■ Using the machine as a hoist, or hanging items from the tower
■ Operating the machine outside of factory specifications
■ Operating the machine in a manner inconsistent with all warnings found on the
machine and in the Operator’s Manual

This machine has been designed and built in accordance with the latest global
safety standards. It has been carefully engineered to eliminate hazards as far as
practicable and to increase operator safety through protective guards and labeling.
However, some risks may remain even after protective measures have been taken.
They are called residual risks. On this machine, they may include exposure to:
■ Heat, noise, exhaust, and carbon monoxide from the engine
■ Heat from the lights
■ Ultraviolet radiation from the lights
■ Fire hazards from improper refueling techniques
■ Fuel and its fumes
■ Electric shock and arc flash
■ Personal injury from improper lifting the trailer tongue

5.1 Generator Derating
Description All generator sets are subject to derating (reduced power output) depending on the
altitude and ambient temperature. Derating should not affect the operation of the
floodlights, although it will reduce the available reserve power to the receptacle.

Derating Power ratings are typically reduced by the following percentages:

percentages ■ 3% per 300 m (1000 ft.) elevation above sea level
■ 2% per 5.5°C (10°F) increase in ambient temperature above 25°C (78°F).

Jump-starting a shorted or defective battery will cause the voltage regulator to
supply higher than normal voltage. This can severely damage the digital
electronics that control machine operation. If there is any doubt as to the battery’s
condition, a replacement battery should be used or an attempt should be made to
charge the battery before starting the machine.
Do not connect the negative clamp to a carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet metal body
parts.
Do not attempt to operate the machine without a battery.
Dispose of waste batteries in accordance with local environmental regulations.

CAUTION
Electrical arcing can cause severe personal injury.
► Do not allow positive and negative cable ends to touch.

Procedure Perform the procedure below to jump-start the battery.

1. In very cold weather, check the condition of the electrolytes. If it seems slushy or
frozen, do not try jump-starting until it thaws.

NOTICE:
If a battery sits in extreme cold, the electrolytes inside the battery can freeze.
Attempting to jump-start a frozen battery can cause it to rupture.

2. Disconnect engine load.

3. Use a booster battery of the same voltage as is used with your engine system.
4. Attach one end of the positive cable clamp (red) to the positive (+) terminal of
the dead battery. Attach the other end of the positive cable clamp to the positive
terminal of the booster battery.

 Emissions Control Systems Information and Warranty
12 Emissions Control Systems Information and Warranty: KUBOTA
The Emission Control Warranty and associated information is valid only for the
U.S.A., its territories, and Canada.

12.1 Emission Control System Background Information

Introduction
Wacker Neuson engines/equipment must conform with applicable Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resource Board (CARB) emissions
regulations. These regulations require that manufacturers warrant the emission
control systems for defects in materials and workmanship.
Furthermore, EPA and CARB regulations require all manufacturers to furnish
written instructions describing how to operate and maintain the engines/equipment
including the emission control systems. This information is provided with all
Wacker Neuson engines/equipment at the time of purchase.

Exhaust Emissions
The combustion process produces carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and
hydrocarbons. Control of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen is very important
because, under certain conditions, they react to form photochemical smog when
subjected to sunlight. Carbon monoxide does not react in the same way, but it is
toxic.

Problems that may affect Emissions

If any of the following symptoms arise, have the engine/equipment inspected and
repaired by a Wacker Neuson dealer/service center.
■ Hard starting or stalling after starting
■ Rough idling
■ Misfiring or backfiring under load
■ Afterburning (backfiring)
■ Presence of black exhaust smoke during operation
■ High fuel consumption

Tampering and Altering

Tampering with or altering the emission control system may increase emissions
beyond the legal limit. If evidence of tampering is found, Wacker Neuson may deny
a warranty claim. Among those acts that constitute tampering are:
■ Removing or altering of any part of the air intake, fuel, or exhaust systems.
■ Altering or defeating the speed-adjusting mechanism causing the engine to
operate outside its design parameters.

 Emissions Control Systems Information and Warranty
12.2 Limited Defect Warranty for Wacker Neuson Emission Control

The Emission Control Warranty is valid only for the U.S.A., its territories, and
Canada.
Wacker Neuson Sales Americas, LLC, N92 W15000 Anthony Avenue,
Menomonee Falls, WI 53051, (hereinafter “Wacker Neuson”) warrants to the initial
retail purchaser and each subsequent owner, that this engine/equipment, including
all parts of its emission control system, have been designed, built, and equipped to
conform at the time of initial sale to all applicable evaporative emission regulations
of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and that the engine/equipment
is free of defects in materials and workmanship which would cause this engine/
equipment to fail to conform to EPA regulations during its warranty period.
Wacker Neuson is also liable for damages to other engine/equipment components
caused by a failure of any warranted parts during the warranty period.

What is covered
Wacker Neuson recommends the use of genuine Wacker Neuson parts, or the
equivalent, whenever maintenance is performed. The use of replacement parts not
equivalent to the original parts may impair the effectiveness of the engine/
equipment emission controls systems. If such a replacement part is used in the
repair or maintenance of the engine/equipment, assure yourself that such part is
warranted by its manufacturer to be equivalent to the parts offered by Wacker
Neuson in performance and durability. Furthermore, if such a replacement part is
used in the repair or maintenance of the engine/equipment, and an authorized
Wacker Neuson dealer/service center determines it is defective or causes a failure
of a warranted part, the claim for repair of the engine/equipment may be denied. If
the part in question is not related to the reason the engine/equipment requires
repair, the claim will not be denied.
For the components listed in the following table, an authorized Wacker Neuson
dealer/service center will, at no cost to you, make the necessary diagnosis, repair,
or replacement necessary to ensure that the engine/equipment complies with the
applicable EPA regulations. All defective parts replaced under this warranty
become property of Wacker Neuson.

System Covered Components

 Emissions Control Systems Information and Warranty
What is not covered
■ Failures other than those resulting from defects in material or workmanship.
■ Any systems or parts which are affected or damaged by owner abuse,
tampering, neglect, improper maintenance, misuse, improper fueling, improper
storage, accident and/or collision; the incorporation of, or any use of, add-on or
modified parts, or unsuitable attachments, or the alteration of any part.
■ Replacement of expendable maintenance items made in connection with
required maintenance services after the item’s first scheduled replacement as
listed in the maintenance section of the engine/equipment operator’s manual,
such as spark plugs and filters.
■ Incidental or consequential damages such as loss of time or the use of the
engine/equipment, or any commercial loss due to the failure of the engine/
equipment.

coverage solely for the lack of receipts or for the failure to ensure the performance
of all scheduled maintenance.
Normal maintenance, replacement, or repair of emission control devices and
systems may be performed by any repair establishment or individual; however,
warranty repairs must be performed by an authorized Wacker Neuson dealer/
service center.
The engine/equipment must be presented to an authorized Wacker Neuson dealer/
service center as soon as a problem exists. Contact Wacker Neuson Product
