CART OPERATION
The wheelbarrow cart assembly consists of 2 parts:
1. Light head
2. Wheelbarrow cart base
To assemble cart, insert light head over center hole
of wheelbarrow cart and tighten hand screw. The
wheelbarrow cart is now ready for use.
Tilt cart using both handles and maneuver like a
wheelbarrow. Simply roll entire assembly toa new
location once assembled. Make sure light head is
secure prior to maneuvering cart.
This portable LED cart light has a removable light
head measuring 16 inches in diameter which allows
the unit to fit through the standard sized manholes or
entry passages commonly found in the petrochemical and marine industries. Often simply referred to as a
“tank light”, this unit is considered universal due to its ability to be passed through any conventional manhole
such as those found in petrochemical containers and ship storage tanks.
WARNING: Be sure all hand screws aretight before transporting! Use caution when maneuvering near inclines
or drop offs.
To adjust light head vertically, loosen hand screws on either side. Once desired angle is achieved,
tighten both hand screws to secure light in its place. Loosen the single hand screw holding light head to rotate
horizontally. Be sure all hand screws are tight before transporting!

PLUG OPERATION
Electrical connection between plug and compatible receptacle is accomplished after plug fully inserts into
receptacle and is rotated clockwise.
