GLOBUG LIGHTING SYSTEM — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
■When transporting the GloBug over smooth roads, place mast in stow position. Tighten the lamp adjustment lever and mast adapter set screw firmly to secure the balloon to the mast before transporting. This will prevent the balloon/light assembly from falling down or being damaged during transport.
■When transportating the GloBug over rough terrain, remove the ballon/lamp assembly from the mast. To prevent damage to the bulb, place ballon/lamp assembly in a protective
■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.
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 a lamp. Excessive force could cause the lamp to break causing bodily harm.
■ALWAYS make sure the lamp holder (spring loaded) is securely affixed to the top of the lamp. This will prevent the lamp from touching (breakage) the lamp guard or pipe frame.
■ALWAYS make sure the lamp guard is installed correctly. NEVER deform the lamp guard.
■NEVER attempt to replace lamp with the power on. Always
■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.
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 GloBug 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.
