COMMAND LIGHT 5 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

COMMAND LIGHT products* come with an industry leading 5-year warranty against any

defects in materials and workmanship when used and operated for a period of five years. The

responsibility of COMMAND LIGHT under this limited warranty is limited to the repair and

replacement of parts found to be defective by COMMAND LIGHT.

Any parts damaged in shipping or by improper installation, overloading, abuse, or accident of

any type or cause are not covered by this warranty. If equipment has been damaged in transit, a

claim should be made against the carrier within three days, as we assume no responsibility for

such damage.

If during this time period, you have any malfunctions not related to misuse, accident, neglect, or

normal wear and tear, please take the following steps in order to have your light tower serviced

under the COMMAND LIGHT warranty.

1. Contact us immediately for initial diagnosis at [email protected] or 800-797-

7974; or if parts are needed contact [email protected].

2. You will need to have immediate access to the light tower and the serial number. This

process can be done by individuals with little mechanical ability. (involves pushing

buttons and telling us what the light tower is doing or not doing)

3. We then send parts (if needed) and have an authorized technician dispatched (if needed)

with a written work authorization number and a base number of hours allotted to do

repair. Hourly rates for service are to be determined at the time of authorization by

COMMAND LIGHT, travel time is paid at a maximum of 50% of the authorized service

rate.

4. We remain available for service support via phone, email, or video conference while the

technician completes the repair, also to extend the original time allotted if additional

issues arise. Immediate support cannot be guaranteed unless a time is scheduled prior to

service.

5. Let us know when the repair is completed and reference the work authorization number.

Email an invoice to [email protected] or [email protected]. If you are

unable to create an invoice email us for instructions for payment. Make sure any parts we

have requested to be returned have been shipped back to the provided shipping address. If

a return label is issued it must be used.

department, or company doing the repair. Payments will not be made until all requested

parts have been returned.

WARRANTY CONTINUED

Please contact us as soon as problems arise in order to execute our warranty. We must have

knowledge of the issue and provide a work authorization in order to pay or reimburse labor or

travel time.

Any unauthorized service voids this warranty. No work is authorized until written consent is

provided by COMMAND LIGHT.

their own manufacturer warranty. Contact us and we can help get it.

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, 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 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 some time 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.

USER GUIDE

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.

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 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.
