GB12BW/BS/BP LIGHTING SYSTEM — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
■
When transporting the tripod lighting system, always
place tripod in the
stow position,
then place tripod into
its carrying case.
■
ALWAYS remove the balloon/lamp assembly from the
mast when transporting any of the GloBug lighting
systems. This will prevent damage to the bulb due to
vibration.
■
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 any
GloBug lighting system 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 the lamp. Excessive
force could cause the lamp to break causing bodily harm.
■
ALWAYS make sure the lamp guard is installed correctly.
NEVER deform the lamp guard.
■
NEVER attempt to replace lamp with the power on. Always
unplug the power cord from the generator or power source
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.
All GloBug lighting systems are
equipped with a
ground pin on the
power plug.
For your protection.
ALWAYS complete the
grounding
path.
NEVER insert the AC power plug
into a 2-prong receptacle to operate any GloBug lighting
system.
When applying power to the lighting system, always
connect the AC power plug to a 3-prong receptacle that is
grounded. The possibility exists of
Electrical Shock,
Electrocution, and even Death
if the lighting system is not
grounded.
