READ BEFORE OPERATING OR DEPLOYING!
Read these instructions carefully BEFORE attempting to operate or deploy
the solar powered trailer. Failure to comply with instructions and guidelines
could result in serious or fatal injury, as well as void any warranty. Retain
these instructions for future reference.
1. Choose a location that is close to level as possible to position the
trailer. When picking a location, ensure the mast is free and clear from
any overhead obstructions.
Drop the trailer from the tow vehicle using the single jack located on
the front of the trailer. Ensure the safety chains and cable have been
disconnected from the tow vehicle.
2. Once the trailer has been disconnected from the
hitch of the tow vehicle, extend the remaining jacks.
There are (2) leveling jacks located on the back
and (2) jacks located on the front of the trailer. Pull
the pin on the side of the jack to rotate it 90° toward
the ground and hand crank the jack clockwise to
extend it.
Use a bubble level to ensure the trailer is level.
Ensure that the unit is completely level before
deploying!
The jacks can be extended outward by
loosening the hand screw, pulling the
jack/outrigger out and tightening hand screw.
3. There are support plates holding each solar
panel in place for transport. Be sure to
disconnect these support plates prior to
deploying each solar panel array! Pull the support plate up and
push the solar panel out to free it. Repeat this process for the other

The solar panels are held in place by a spring loaded pin, on a dial.
The dial is located on the back end of the trailer, at the pivot point of
the solar panels.
5. Once you pull the spring loaded pin,
use 2 people to rotate the panels
facing outward in the Work Mode
position for each solar panel array.
6. You are now ready to deploy the elevated solar panel array. Start by
pulling the spring loaded locking pins on each side of the panel array
and twist to hold pin in the open position.
7. Crank the winch clockwise to extend the solar
panels and twist each locking pin back into
their closed position so they will snap in place
once the mast is fully elevated.
8. Continue cranking the winch clockwise until both pins fully snap in
place. NOTE: Ensure cables have enough slack and do not get
caught on anything while panel mast is being elevated!
9. Lock the panels in place using the support legs.
The support legs are located on
the bed of the trailer for
transport. These legs simply
unlatch and pin to the bottom of
each solar panel array and
trailer.
10. Once installed, the trailer is ready to be powered on.

The job box, located on the front of the
trailer contains all of the electrical
controls. This can be locked via padlocks
to prevent unauthorized access.
1. Open the job box and locate the (3) three main disconnect switches
on the back panel. Switch these all to their ON position. Once these
are ON, the solar system is activated and will begin charging the
batteries.
A. Turn the CHARGE CONTROLLER ON
B. Turn the SOLAR BREAKER ON
C. Turn the black and yellow DISCONNECT ON
The unit is now ready for charging. This unit is built to protect itself in order
to prolong battery life. The unit will not come on until voltage has reached
24.7V. The unit will shut off at 24V.
Once the unit reaches the correct voltage of 24.7V, the mast can be
extended.
1. Before extending the mast, ensure the
ball valve is in the UP position. If not,
the pump will immediately shut off once
powered on.
2. To extend the mast, simply turn ON the
PUMP switch located next to the power
switch on the right hand side.
3. Once the mast reaches 30 PSI,the pump will
automatically shut off. The pump may cycle
multiple times to reach this PSI, depending on
the environment.
4. Once the pump shuts off, the lights are ready to be powered on.
Switch the POWER switch on the right ON to enable power to the
inverter.
5. To turn the lights on, simply switch the
(2) light switches located on the left.
There are two lighting options available; STEADY & MOTION.
Steady, powers the lights as normal with their respective power
switches. Motion, powers the lights as motion is detected near the
mast. See MOTION SENSOR OPERATION for settings.
NOTE: Leaving the lights on during charge will greatly diminish run
time of the lights.
The unit is now deployed!

MOTION SENSOR OPERATION
When the motion sensor detects movement, the LED lights are turned on.
Once the motion has stopped, the lights will turn off. Sensitivity, Time
Delay and Lux can be adjusted with their respective control dials on the
motion sensor.
1. The SENSITIVITY setting controls the distance in which the motion
sensor will work. The lowest setting will trigger the motion sensor
when motion is close. The highest setting will trigger the motion
sensor when motion is far.
2. The TIME setting controls how long the unit remains illuminated
following activation & after all motion ceases. The minimum time
(fully anti-clockwise) is approximately 5 seconds and the maximum
time (fully clockwise) is approximately 5 minutes. Set the control to
the desired setting between these limits.
3. The LUX setting determines the level of darkness required for the
unit to start operating. The setting is best achieved by the procedure
below:
Set the LUX control knob fully anti-clockwise. The unit will now start
operating at dusk. If you require the light to activate earlier, wait until the
ambient light level reaches the level of darkness at which you wish the lamp
to become operative, slowly rotate the control in a clockwise direction until a
point is reached where the lamp illuminates. Leave the control set at this
point. At this position, the unit should become operative at approximately the
same level of darkness each evening. Observe the operation of the unit. If
the unit is starting to operate too early (e.g. when it is quite light), adjust the
control slightly anti-clockwise. If the unit starts to operate too late (e.g.
dusk), adjust the control slightly clockwise. Continue to adjust until the unit
operates as desired.
MOTION SENSOR POSITION
The motion sensor’s position can be adjusted by loosening the hand screw
on the side, repositioning, and tightening the hand screw.
GFCI
Trailer is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter. If tripped, check
ALL connections and reset. Check for foreign objects or water leaks.
