■
ALWAYS make sure that the GloBug is secure on firm level
ground so that it cannot slide or shift around, endangering
workers. Also keep the immediate area free of bystanders.
■
ALWAYS keep area behind GloBug clear of people while
raising and lowering mast.
■
To prevent the GloBug from overturning, NEVER use in winds
that exceed 22 mph(10m/s).
■
To prevent the GloBug from rolling, ALWAYS place the
GloBug on a firm flat surface. Surface slant should not exceed
5 degrees.
■
To prevent the GloBug from rolling, ALWAYS apply the
parking brake. For additional safety place chock blocks
behind the wheels.
■
The GloBug must use a generator that is at least 220
lbs. (100 kg) minimum. This will prevent the GloBug from
tipping over.
■
The GloBug should only be used in temperatures between
23-104 degrees Fahrenheit (-5 to 40 degrees Celsius).
Failure to comply with these operating parameters could
cause the lamp to malfunction and shorten the ballast
life.
■
NEVER use the GloBug in
rain, snow
or areas of high
humidity that could generate electrical storms.
■
Set the GloBug's tire air pressure to 35.5 psi (245kPa).
Check daily. Low tire pressure could adversely affect the
parking brake.
