LT12 SERIES LIGHT TOWER • OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #12 (01/20/09) — PAGE 17
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Multiquip LT12 Series Light Tower is a dedicated
general purpose light tower engineered to provide
dependable lighting for a wide range of applications. This
includes lighting for construction sites, industrial locations,
special events, and emergency conditions.
METAL HALIDE LAMPS
The lighting system of the LT12 Series Light Tower is
comprised of 4 metal halide, 1000-watt lamps. These lamps
provide maximum illumination with typical lighting coverage
of 5 to 7 acres. The lamps are controlled by individual circuit
breakers for versatility.
ENGINE
The LT12 Light Tower is powered by a diesel engine that
is equipped with automatic shutdowns for low oil pressure,
high coolant temperature, and alternator charge failure.
STABILITY
The light tower can be raised vertically in excess of 31.5
feet (9.6 meters) by means of a manual winch. The tower
tensioning system is designed to provide the necessary
tension to safely control the pivot of the tower. The light
tower has a wind stability of up to 65 mph with outriggers
and jackstands fully deployed.
PANEL LIGHT
A panel light automatically illuminates the control panel and
all functions when the engine access door is opened. This
feature is convenient for night deployment.
CONVENIENCE RECEPTACLES
As an added feature, the LT12 is equipped with two
externally mounted auxiliary output receptacles that are
accessible without opening the side panels. The uppermost
receptacle (twist-lock) can provide 240 VAC at 25 amps. The
bottom receptacle is a GFCI receptacle which can supply
120 VAC at 15 amps. These receptacles can be used for
light power tools or other similar applications.
FUEL TANK
The 30-gallon fuel tank provides up to 64 hours of run time
while running at 3/4 load.
TRAILER DESIGN
The trailer design of the LT12 light tower withstands the
rigors of the jobsite in addition to providing smooth highway
towing.
