GLOBUG LIGHTING SYSTEM — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
The
DANGER
items listed below and on the next page are
considered
High DANGER
areas and should be adhered
to. Failing to understand these areas could result in
Bodily
Harm, Electrical
Shock
,
Electrocution
, and even
Death!
Please pay close attention when operating the lighting
system.
DANGER - GloBug High Danger Areas
■
When transporting the GloBug over smooth roads, place
mast in
stow position.
Tighten the lamp adjustment lever
and mast adapter set screw firmly to secure the balloon
to the mast before transporting. This will prevent the
balloon/light assembly from falling down or being damaged
during transport.
■
When transportating the GloBug over
rough terrain
,
remove the ballon/lamp assembly from the mast. To
prevent damage to the bulb, place ballon/lamp assembly
in a protective foam-lined container. Tie down the
protective container to prevent movement. Place GloBug
in back of pick-up truck, apply parking brake and tie down
securely to prevent movement.
■
NEVER leave the balloon/lamp exposed during transport.
Exposure to excess wind or rain could damage the
balloon's nylon cover.
■
ALWAYS place the balloon inside its protective cover
during transport. Be sure the cover is secured tightly
around the balloon/lamp assembly.
BALLOON SAFETY AND CARE
■
To prevent serious burns, NEVER touch or unzip the
balloon envelope when the lamp is on.
■
To prevent the balloon from deformation, NEVER use GloBug
in strong winds.
■
DO NOT place the balloon inside its protective cover until
the lamp has had a sufficient amount of time to cool
down. This will prevent the balloon's nylon cover from
being burned (touching the lamp surface).
■
ALWAYS place the balloon inside its protective cover
after each use. This will prolong the life of the balloon
material, keeping it protected from harsh environmental
elements.
■
DO NOT use a damaged balloon. Replace balloon
immediately if damaged. In addition, a damaged balloon
will not inflate properly, and may become more damaged
by touching the hot lamp surface.
■
ALWAYS keep the balloon away from sharp objects and
excessive amounts of heat (
fire!
).
■
DO NOT use excessive force when zipping and unzipping
the balloon. Be gentle with the zipper mechanism. If the
zipper is broken the balloon will become unusable.
LAMP SAFETY AND CARE
■
NEVER leave any grease or oil residue on lamp surface
when replacing or removing lamp. This can create hot
spots, reducing the service life of the lamp.
■
ALWAYS make sure the lamp surface is clean and dry.
■
ALWAYS replace with MQ recommended type lamp. See
parts section of this manual.
■
NEVER use force when installing a lamp. Excessive force
could cause the lamp to break causing bodily harm.
■
ALWAYS make sure the lamp holder (spring loaded) is
securely affixed to the top of the lamp. This will prevent
the lamp from touching (breakage) the lamp guard or pipe
frame.
■
ALWAYS make sure the lamp guard is installed correctly.
NEVER deform the lamp guard.
■
NEVER attempt to replace lamp with the power on. Always
un-plug the power cord from the generator when changing
the lamp.
■
NEVER unplug the lamp's AC power cable during
operation.
■
ALWAYS allow a sufficient amount of time for the lamp to
cool
before changing. The possibility exists of severe
burns.
■
ALWAYS have a
trained technician
to install and remove
lamp, or replace any damaged fixture wiring.
The GloBug lighting system is
equipped with a
ground terminal
for
your protection. ALWAYS complete the
grounding path
from the lighting
system to an external grounding source.
ALWAYS make certain the GloBug is well grounded and
securely fastened to a good earth ground (ground rod). The
possibility exists of
Electrical Shock, Electrocution, and
even Death
if the GloBug is not grounded.
