DANGER
The engine fuel exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon
monoxide. This gas is colorless and odorless, and can
cause death if inhaled.

SAFETY INFORMATION
BATTERY SAFETY
ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY
pour waste, oil or fuel directly onto the ground,
DANGER
DO NOT drop the battery. There is a possibility that the
battery will explode.
DO NOT expose the battery to open fl ames,
sparks, cigarettes, etc. The battery contains
combustible gases and liquids. If these
gases and liquids come into contact with a
fl ame or spark, an explosion could occur.
WARNING
ALWAYS wear safety glasses when handling
the battery to avoid eye irritation. The battery
contains acids that can cause injury to the
eyes and skin.
Use well-insulated gloves when picking up the battery.
ALWAYS keep the battery charged. If the battery is not
charged, combustible gas will build up.
ALWAYS recharge the battery in a well-ventilated
environment to avoid the risk of a dangerous concentration
of combustible gasses.
NOTICE
Dispose of hazardous waste properly.
Examples of potentially hazardous waste
are used motor oil, fuel and fuel fi lters.
DO NOT use food or plastic containers to dispose of
hazardous waste.
DO NOT
down a drain or into any water source.
If the battery liquid (dilute sulfuric acid) comes into
contact with clothing or skin, rinse skin or clothing
immediately with plenty of water.
If the battery liquid (dilute sulfuric acid) comes into
contact with eyes, rinse eyes immediately with plenty
of water and contact the nearest doctor or hospital to
seek medical attention.
CAUTION
ALWAYS disconnect the NEGATIVE battery terminal
before performing service on the generator.
ALWAYS keep battery cables in good working condition.
Repair or replace all worn cables.

The GB2000 lamp fixture is a difused balloon light that is
designed to be mounted and operated on most convential
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 GB2000 is ideal for
highway work, construction job sites, security support, and
special events.
The balloon light assembly is supported by two 1000 watt
metal halide lamps, self-inflating durable polyester balloon
bag, protective lamp guard, quick disconnect communal
mast bracket, and self-contained electrical junction box.
Once attached to the mast, the GB2000 utilizes the ballast
assembly, electrical conduits, and receptacle connections
of conventional mobile light towers to permit operation.
The GB2000 requires 2000 watts of power and the host
light tower electrical ballast system for operation. Total lamp
operation will be limited to the design and capacity of the
host light tower.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The unit easily disconnects from the light tower mast and
can be easily stored in its protective canvas cover case.

TYPE 1 SETUP (S/N G1900118 AND BELOW)
PREPARATION
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.
DANGER
ALWAYS make sure the area above
light tower is open and clear of
overhead power lines and other
obstructions. The tower extends in
excess of 30 ft. (9 meters). Contact
with overhead power lines or other
obstructions could result in equipment
damage, serious injury or death!
2. If the light tower is in the deployed position, place the
tower mast into the cradle support (stowed position).
See Figure 5. Make sure cradle lock/release pin has
been inserted and the mast is locked.
2. For MLT series light towers disconnect the 4-pin power
cable (Figure 7) from the 125 VAC twist-lock receptacle
on the front panel of the generator.

PREPARATION
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.
DANGER
ALWAYS make sure the area above
light tower is open and clear of
overhead power lines and other
obstructions. The tower extends in
excess of 30 ft. (9 meters). Contact
with overhead power lines or other
obstructions could result in equipment
damage, serious injury or death!
2. If the light tower is in the deployed position, place the
tower mast into the cradle support (stowed position).
See Figure 15. Make sure cradle lock/release pin has
been inserted and the mast is locked.
POWER DISCONNECTION
1. For LT12D light towers, disconnect the negative cable
(black) from battery. See Figure 6.
DISCONNECT

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 18. Align adapter plate so that adapter spacer
notch fits over screw on T-Bar. Please pay close
attention to the orientation of the 2 support brackets.
4. Mount the flat end of both support brackets flush
against the T-Bar with the low end of each bracket
facing inward toward the mast. The raised end of each
bracket should be facing outward.
NOTICE
Please pay close attention to the orientation of the 2
support brackets. Each bracket has a high and low side.
the low side of the bracket should be facing inwards
towards the mast.
5. Next, insert a bolt (4) and flat washer (4) thru the
mounting holes on the the adapter plate as shown in
Figure 18. Again, pay close attention on which set of
holes to insert the bolt thru. Bolt number 2 must be
oriented so that it passes between receptacles J1 and
J2 on the T-Bar.
6. Secure the adapter plate to the T-Bar using the supplied
flat washer (4), lock washer (4) and nut (4). Make sure
the adapter plate is level (use a bubble level) and both
brackets are straight (vertical), not slanted before
tightening

REPLACING LAMP
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.
\
CAUTION
Always shutdown power source and remove balloon
assembly from mast when replacing a broken lamp.
Utmost care should be taken in handling broken lamp.
The possibility exists of serious injury from handling a
broken lamp.
1. Unzip the zipper at the bottom of the balloon and roll
the balloon up to expose the lamp. See Figure 33.
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 35.
