LIGHTING SYSTEM SAFETY
WARNING
NEVER disconnect any emergency or safety devices.
These devices are intended for operator safety.
Disconnection of these devices can cause severe injury, bodily harm or even death. Disconnection of any of these devices will void all warranties.
CAUTION
NEVER attempt service on a running machine.
NOTICE
To prevent the lighting system from overturning, NEVER use in winds that exceed 25 mph (11 m/s).
The lighting system should only be used in temperatures between 14° to 104°F (10° to 40° C). Failure to comply with these operating parameters could cause the lamp
to malfunction and shorten the ballast life.
ALWAYS keep the lighting system in proper running condition.
Fix damage to lighting system and replace any broken parts immediately.
ALWAYS store equipment properly when it is not being used. Equipment should be stored in a clean, dry location out of the reach of children and unauthorized personnel.
NOTICE
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 lamp surface is clean and dry.
ALWAYS replace with MQ recommended type lamp. See parts section of this manual.
If applicable, ALWAYS make sure the lamp guard is installed correctly. NEVER deform the lamp guard.
NEVER unplug the lamp’s AC power cable during operation.
ALWAYS have a trained technician to install and remove lamp or replace any damaged fixture wiring.
TRANSPORTING SAFETY
NOTICE
When transporting the pentapod lighting system, if applicable, always place in stow position and place pentapod in its carrying case.
ALWAYS remove balloon/lamp assembly from the mast when transporting lighting system. 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 balloon inside its protective cover during transport. Be sure the cover is secured tightly around the balloon/lamp assembly.
BALLOON SAFETY
CAUTION
ALWAYS keep the balloon away from sharp objects and excessive amounts of heat.
NOTICE
To prevent balloon deformation, NEVER use 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.
Replace balloon immediately if damaged. A damaged balloon will not inflate properly, and may become more damaged by touching the hot lamp surface.
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.
MAST SAFETY
CAUTION
When raising or lowering the mast, keep hands and fingers clear of the various mast sections, this will prevent hands and fingers from getting pinched.
NEVER attach anything to the mast.
ALWAYS lower the mast when not in use, or if high winds or electrical storms are expected in the area

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.
NEVER operate lighting system or handle any electrical equipment while
standing in water, while barefoot, while hands are wet or in the rain. A dangerous electrical shock could occur, causing severe bodily harm or even death.
