DANGER - HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES
When raising mast, ALWAYS be on
the lookout for overhead obstructions
such as high voltage power lines. The
possibility exists of electrocution,
even death! if the GloBug comes in
contact with
high voltage power lines
.
Applying Power
1. Make sure the power ON/OFF switch (Figure 13) located
near the bottom of the mast is in the OFF position.
2. The GloBug has a power requirement of 120 VAC, 60 Hz
@ 9.6 amps. Connect the GloBug's AC power cord to
the 120 VAC twist-lock receptacle (Figure 14) on the the
supplied generator.

Before attempting to operate the
generator, READ the entire operation
section of the manual. Failure to read
manual could cause severe damage to
the equipment and bodily harm to the

function
is not
controlled by the power ON/OFF switch.
