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 22 mph (10 m/s).

The lighting system should only be used in temperatures between 23° to 104°F (-5° 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.

LAMP SAFETY

WARNING

NEVER attempt to replace lamp with the power on. Always unplug the power cord from the generator or power source when changing the lamp.

ALWAYS allow a sufficient amount of time for the lamp to cool before changing. The possibility exists of severe burns.

CAUTION

NEVER use force when installing the lamp. Excessive force could cause the lamp to break, causing bodily harm.

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.

BALLOON SAFETY

WARNING

To prevent serious burns, NEVER touch or unzip the balloon envelope when the
lamp is on

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.

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.

ALWAYS make sure the area above the lighting system is open and clear of overhead power lines and other obstructions. Contact with overhead power lines or other obstructions could result in equipment damage, electrical shock, electrocution and even death.
