NEVER operate this equipment when not feeling well due to fatigue, illness or when under medication. NEVER operate this equipment under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
SAFETY INFORMATION LIGHT TOWER SAFETY DANGER NEVER operate the equipment in an explosive atmosphere or near combustible materials. An explosion or fire could result causing severe bodily harm or even death. 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.
SAFETY INFORMATION ENGINE SAFETY NOTICE DANGER The engine fuel exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide. This gas is colorless and odorless, and can cause death if inhaled. The engine of this equipment requires an adequate free flow of cooling air. NEVER operate this equipment in any enclosed or narrow area where free flow of the air is restricted. If the air flow is restricted it will cause injury to people and property and serious damage to the equipment or engine.
SAFETY INFORMATION FUEL SAFETY DANGER DO NOT start the engine near spilled fuel or combustible fluids. Diesel fuel is extremely flammable and its vapors can cause an explosion if ignited. ALWAYS refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from sparks and open flames. ALWAYS use extreme caution when working with flammable liquids. DO NOT fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or hot.
SAFETY INFORMATION TRANSPORTING SAFETY If lifting through pockets, make sure forks of forklift are inserted in pockets as far as possible before lifting. CAUTION Before lifting, make sure that light tower parts are not damaged and screws are not loosened or lost. Place chock blocks underneath wheel to prevent rolling while parked. ALWAYS make sure crane or lifting device has been properly secured to lifting hook of the equipment.
SAFETY INFORMATION ELECTRICAL SAFETY DANGER The electrical voltage required to operate the generator can cause severe injury or even death through physical contact with live circuits. Turn generator and all circuit breakers OFF before performing maintenance on the generator. NEVER insert any objects into the output receptacles during operation. This is extremely dangerous. The possibility exists of electrical shock, electrocution or death.
SAFETY INFORMATION BATTERY SAFETY DANGER DO NOT drop the battery. There is a possibility that the battery will explode. DO NOT expose the battery to open flames, sparks, cigarettes, etc. The battery contains combustible gases and liquids. If these gases and liquids come into contact with a flame or spark, an explosion could occur. WARNING ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY NOTICE Dispose of hazardous waste properly. Examples of potentially hazardous waste are used motor oil, fuel and fuel filters.

GENERAL INFORMATION The GB4000 lamp fixture is a difused balloon light that is designed to be mounted and operated on most conventional mobile light tower masts. Its design and features permit clean, difused light to be cast uniformly over 232 feet (70.7 meters). The shadow-less lighting dramatically reduces glare in the work area. This type of lighting improves safety and enhances the illuminated area. The GB4000 is ideal for highway work, construction job sites, security support, and special events.
COMPONENTS 1. Lamp Fixture — Made of heat resistant polyester balloon and four 1000-watt metal halide lamps. 2. Locking Pin — Locks the lamp fixture in place when attached to the pole on the bracket. 3. Balloon Power Cable — Provides AC power to the lamps, fan and balloon inflation circuit. 1 4. Adapter Plate — Attaches to the T-Bar and mast interface of the light tower to allow the GB4000 to be installed. NOTICE This adapter plate (item 4) fits most conventional light tower masts. 5.
SETUP PREPARATION POWER DISCONNECTION 1. Place the light tower in an area free of dirt and debris with enough clearance as not to interfere with any overhead obstructions. Make sure it is on secure level ground with chock blocks underneath each wheel to prevent the light tower from rolling. 1. For LT12D light towers, disconnect the negative cable (black) from battery. See Figure 5.
SETUP LAMP ADAPTER PLATE MOUNTING INSTALLATION 1. Remove the adapter plate kit hardware from its container. 2. Before proceeding make sure the light tower mast is in the stow position (down) and the cradle lock/release pin has been inserted and the mast is locked. 3. Attach the lamp adapter plate to the T-Bar as shown in Figure 7. Align adapter plate so that adapter spacer notch fits over screw on T-Bar. Pay close attention to the orientation of the two support brackets. 5.

Figure 7.
SETUP JUNCTION BOX MOUNTING LAMP MOUNTING 1. Secure the junction box (Figure 8) to the adapter plate using the supplied bolts (2), lock washer (2), and flat washer (2). Tighten mounting bolts securely. 1. Place the GB4000 lamp fixture onto the lamp adapter plate pole as shown in Figure 9. LAMP T-BAR ADAPTER PLATE 2. Insert locking pin into hole opening on pole, then insert cotter pin to lock pin in place. BALLOON POWER CABLE BOLT (2) 1.
LAMP CABLE CONNECTIONS On the T-Bar (Figure 10) there are four power receptacles J1, J2, J3 and J4. These receptacles provide AC power to the existing rectangular lamps. When the GB4000 lamp assembly is employed, these receptacles are used to connect the GB4000. Refer to Figure 10. GB4000 JUNCTION BOX T-BAR 1 2 3 4 NOTE: CABLE FROM LAMP 1 MUST BE CONNECTED FOR OTHER LAMPS TO OPERATE AND FOR BALLOON TO INFLATE.
OPERATION REMOVING BALLOON PROTECTIVE COVER CAUTION 4. Once, the engine has started, place the main circuit breaker switch (Figure 12) on the LT12 control panel in the ON position. DO NOT use excessive force when zipping or unzipping the balloon. The possibility exists of the zipper tearing, which would make the balloon unusable. 1. Expose the balloon by unsnapping the buttons and unzipping the protective cover as shown in Figure 11.
OPERATION INFLATING BALLOON AND TURNING ON LAMPS (MLT ONLY) 5. Next, turn on lamp circuit breakers The balloon should begin to inflate and the lamps will light. 1. On MLT series light towers, reconnect the 4-pin power cable (Figure 13) to the 120 VAC twist-lock receptacle on the front panel of the generator. 6. Secure any unused lamp cables. DEFLATING AND STORING BALLOON 1. Turn lamps OFF and allow to cool for at least five minutes. MLT LIGHT TOWER 2.
MAINTENANCE REPLACING LAMP 3. Press the tabs on the lamp holder and push up lamp holder to release it from lamp. Do the same to the lower lamp if necessary. See Figure 17. DANGER Never attempt to replace lamp in a wet place. The possibility exists of electric shock. WARNING Always allow sufficient time for the lamp to cool down before replacing. The possibility exists of severe burns if hot lamp is touched.
MAINTENANCE NOTICE Do not use excessive force when screwing the lamp to prevent lamp from breaking. 3. Slide in the new replacement balloon over the top of the lamp guard assembly. See Figure 22. 6. Secure lamp holder on top of the lamp. 7. Reinstall lamp guard. 8. Pull down balloon and zip the bottom zipper to cover lamp. INSTALL NEW BALLOON REPLACING BALLOON 1. Unzip the top and bottom of the balloon. See Figure 20. Figure 22. Replacing Balloon 4. Zip up the top and bottom of the new balloon.
