1. Installation Steps: Ensure Safe, Stable, and Quick Deployment

Site Selection and Fixing: Choose a flat, firm surface, avoiding slopes or soft soil. Secure the base firmly using ground stakes or counterweights to prevent tipping in strong winds.

Extending the Light Pole:

Manual Crank Type: Turn the crank clockwise to raise the light pole section by section, ensuring each section is fully engaged and the latches are locked.

Electric/Hydraulic Type: After connecting to power, initiate the lifting program via remote control or control panel. The system will automatically unfold and lock.

Connecting Power: Connect to a diesel generator, mains power, or the built-in battery according to the model. Ensure a stable power supply before turning on the lighting.

Adjusting the Light Angle: Adjust the horizontal rotation (0-360°) and vertical tilt (0-135°) of the light head to ensure the light covers the core work area.

2. Folding Method Adaptation: Matching usage needs to operational efficiency

Hydraulic System: Suitable for large-scale emergency situations (such as earthquake rescue and flood control), deployment within 5 minutes, supports remote control, and withstands winds up to level 8.

Electric Actuator: Suitable for urban power repair and railway maintenance, one-button automatic lifting, operators can control from a safe distance, improving response speed.

Manual Crank: Only recommended for temporary supplemental lighting and low-frequency use scenarios; although low cost, it is time-consuming and relies on manpower.

3. Emergency Use Key Points: Ensuring Continuous Lighting and Personnel Safety

Prioritize automatic lifting models to reduce the risk of personnel exposure to hazardous areas.

Equip with backup power or a dual-mode power supply system (such as a generator + battery) to prevent lighting interruptions due to power outages.

Regularly inspect structural components (such as screws, anti-slip pads, and magnetic bases) to ensure the equipment is in reliable condition.
