Breakage or Damage During Shipment
The transportation company is fully responsible for all shipping damage and will resolve problems promptly if you handle it correctly. Please read these instructions carefully. Examine the contents of all shipping cases. If you find any damage, call your transportation agent at once and have them make a description on the freight or express bill describing the damage and the number of pieces. Then contact us and we will send you the original bill of lading. Also promptly contact the transportation company and follow their procedure for filing a claim. Each company will have a unique procedure to follow. Please note, that we cannot and will not enter claims for damages. If we filed claim here, it would be sent to your local freight agent for verification and investigation. This time can be saved by you filing the claim directly. Every consignee is on the ground floor, in contact with the local agent who inspects the damaged goods, and thus, each claim can be given individual attention. Since our goods are packed to comply with the regulations of all railroad, truck, and express companies, we cannot allow a deduction from any invoice because of any damage, however, be sure to file your claim promptly. Our goods are sold F.O.B. factory. We take receipt from the transportation company certifying that the goods were delivered to them in good order and our responsibility ceases. It is seldom that any breakage or damage occurs in any of our shipments and in no case will the customer be out any expense if they follow the above instructions. Be sure to keep all damaged goods subject to examination of the truck or express company inspector, who may call on you sometime later. These damaged goods, of course, will belong to them, and they will inform you what to do with them. If you dispose of these damaged goods, your claim may not be paid.

- Reported run times based on fully charged batteries at 70° F; temperature and battery condition can impact tripod performance.
- Light blinks three times to warn of low-battery conditions.

Operation
- Loosen the main knob and extend the legs as far as possible for the best stability and height, tighten the knob to lock the legs in place.
- The rear leg can be extended for use on uneven surfaces. Loosen the extension leg knob and extend the foot out to the desired length, keeping the mast of the tripod as vertical as possible, then tighten the knob.
- For added stability in high wind conditions or extreme terrain place sandbags at the base of the legs.
- Insert (1) battery into the battery receiver until it clicks.
- Battery removal will get easier with more remove/replace cycles.
- Adjust the light angle by using the swivel directly below the light fixture.
- Loosen the lock collar at the top of the primary mast by turning it counterclockwise. Extend the inner mast to the desired height and tighten the lock collar by turning it clockwise. Reduce glare by extending the inner mast completely.
- Use caution not to direct the light in a way that will inhibit other’s visibility.
- Press the power button on the battery receiver once to turn on the light. The light fixture will blink three times to warn of low-battery conditions.
- If using truck power, insert the truck power connector into the battery receiver and the truck power outlet located on the vehicle. The light will turn on as soon as everything is connected, the power button is not used during truck power operation. There may be an in-cab power button or switch that will turn power on and off to the power outlet.
- If using shore power, insert the shore power connector into the battery receiver and use an extension cord to connect to 115V AC or 220V AC power source. The light will turn on as soon as everything is connected, the power button is not used during shore power operation.
- Before transporting, be sure the lock collar and all knobs are tightened after lowering the inner mast and folding in the legs.
Light fixtures can be quickly removed from the tripod by twisting the knurled portion of light head coupler counterclockwise, allowing storage of the light head in a different location than the tripod and the use of multiple different light heads or light bars with a single tripod. Be careful when removing or re-attaching the light heads. Not aligning the electrical connectors correctly can cause damage to the connectors.
