PAGE 8 — GB113BC GLOBUG LIGHTING SYSTEM — OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #4 (01/06/09)
■ ALWAYS make sure that the GloBug is secure on firm level
ground so that it cannot slide or shift around, endangering
workers. Also keep the immediate area free of bystanders.
■ ALWAYS keep area behind GloBug clear of people while
raising and lowering mast.
■ To prevent the GloBug from overturning, NEVER use in winds
that exceed 22 mph(10m/s).
■ To prevent the GloBug from rolling, ALWAYS place the
GloBug on a firm flat surface. Surface slant should not exceed
5 degrees.
■ To prevent the GloBug from rolling, ALWAYS apply the
parking brake. For additional safety place chock blocks
behind the wheels.
■ The GloBug must use a generator that is at least 220
lbs. (100 kg) minimum. This will prevent the GloBug from
tipping over.
■ The GloBug should only be used in temperatures between
23-104 degrees Fahrenheit (-5 to 40 degrees Celsius).
Failure to comply with these operating parameters could
cause the lamp to malfunction and shorten the ballast
life.
■ NEVER use the GloBug in rain, snow or areas of high
humidity that could generate electrical storms.
■ Set the GloBug's tire air pressure to 35.5 psi (245kPa).
Check daily. Low tire pressure could adversely affect the
parking brake.
RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

deploy outriggers .
■ CHECK the mast and winch cables for wear. If any problem
occurs when lower or raising the mast STOP immediately!
Contact a trained MQ technician for assistance.
■ NEVER pivot or retract mast while unit is operating.
■ NEVER use the lighting system mast as a crane. DO
NOT lift anything with the mast.
■ NEVER attach anything to the lighting system mast.
■ ALWAYS lower the tower when not in use, or if high winds
or electrical storms are expected in the area.
■ Use a crane, forklift or suitable lifting device of adequate
lifting capability when the lifting of the GloBug is required.
■ Make sure the mast is completely lowered before lifting
the GloBug.
■ When the GloBug is lifted from its correct lifting point, it
should lift straight up (not tilted). DO NOT attempt to lift
the GloBug if its position is tilted while lifting.
