DANGER - HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES
When raising mast, ALWAYS be on
the lookout for overhead obstructions
such as high voltage power lines. The
possibility exists of electrocution,
even death if the GloBug Solo comes
in contact with

high voltage power lines

.
GLOBUG SOLO LIGHTING SYSTEM — OPERATION
Applying Power
1. Make sure the power ON/OFF switch (Figure 13) located
near the bottom of the ballast is in the OFF position.
2. The GloBug Solo has a power requirement of 120 VAC,
60 Hz @ 9.5 amps. Connect the GloBug Solo's AC power
cord to a 120 VAC power receptacle (Figure 14).

4. Notice that the balloon envelope will begin to deploy as
soon as power is applied. This function

is not

controlled
by the power ON/OFF switch.
5. Wait until the balloon is fully deployed before attempting
to turn on the lamp. The possibility exists of the balloon
getting burned (touching the lamp).
6. If the balloon is fully deployed, place the GloBug Solo's
ON/OFF switch in the ON position (Figure 15).

all connections and repeat steps 1 through 6. If the lamp
still does not come on, contact the MQ service
department.
Shutdown
1. Place the power ON/OFF switch (Figure 16) in the OFF
position.

CAUTION - LAMP COOL DOWN
Allow a sufficient amount of time (15-20 minutes) for the
lamp (Figure 17) to

cool down

before disconnecting
power cable from power receptacle. The possibility exists
of the balloon getting burned (touching the lamp).
2. Disconnect the GloBug Solo's AC power cable from the
power receptacle. The balloon should begin to deflate.
