SAFETY INFORMATION
LIGHTING SYSTEM SAFETY
DANGER
NEVER use lighting system in rain, snow or
areas of high humidity that could generate
electrical storms.
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 suffi cient 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 fi xture 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 suffi cient 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 infl ate 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.
