SAFETY INFORMATION
LIGHTING SYSTEM SAFETY
WARNING
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.
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.
ALWAYS make sure lamp surface is clean and dry.
ALWAYS replace with MQ recommended type lamp.See
parts section of this manual.
CAUTION
If applicable, ALWAYS make sure the lamp guard is
installed correctly. NEVER deform the lamp guard.
NEVER attempt service on a running machine.
NEVER unplug the lamp’s AC power cable during
operation.
NOTICE
To prevent the lighting system from overturning, NEVER
use in winds that exceed 22 mph (10 m/s).
ALWAYS have a trained technician to install and
remove lamp or replace any damaged fixture wiring.
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.
TRANSPORTING SAFETY
NOTICE
When transporting the tripod lighting system, if
applicable, always place in stow position and place
tripod in its carrying case.
ALWAYS keep the lighting system in proper running
condition.
Fix damage to lighting system and replace any broken
parts immediately.
ALWAYS remove balloon/lamp assembly from the mast
when transporting lighting system. This will prevent
damage to the bulb due to vibration.
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.
NEVER leave the balloon/lamp exposed during transport.

SAFETY INFORMATION
BALLOON SAFETY
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
DANGER
To prevent serious burns, NEVER touch
or unzip the balloon envelope when the
lamp is on.
Lighting system is equipped with a ground pin on the
power plug. For your protection, ALWAYS complete the
grounding path. NEVER insert the AC power plug into a
2-prong receptacle to operate lighting system.
CAUTION
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.
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.
NEVER operate lighting system or
handle any electrical equipment while
standing in water, while barefoot, while
handsarewetorintherain.Adangerous
electrical shock could occur, causing
severe bodily harm or even death.
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.
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.
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.
