GLOBUG 4-SPOT — SAFETY MESSAGE ALERT SYMBOLS
FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS!
Safety precautions should be followed
at all times when operating this
equipment. Failure to read and
understand the Safety Messages and
Operating Instructions could result in
injury to yourself and others.
This Owner's Manual has been
NOTE
developed to provide complete
instructions for the safe and
efficient operation of the
MQ
GLOBUG 4-SPOT.
Before using this Lighting System, ensure that the operating
individual has read and understands all instructions in this
manual.
SAFETY MESSAGE ALERT SYMBOLS
The three (3) Safety Messages shown below will inform you
about potential hazards that could injure you or others. The
Safety Messages specifically address the level of exposure
to the operator, and are preceded by one of three words:
DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.
DANGER
Potential hazards associated with the
operation will be referenced with Hazard Symbols which
appear throughout this manual, and will be referenced in
conjunction with Safety Message Alert Symbols.
HAZARD SYMBOLS
WARNING - Lethan Exhaust Gasses
Engine exhaust gases contain
poisonous carbon monoxide. This gas
is colorless and odorless, and can
cause death if inhaled. NEVER operate
this equipment in a confined area or
enclosed structure that does not provide
ample free flow air.
WARNING - Explosive Fuel
Gasoline fuel is extremely flammable,
and its vapors can cause an explosion if
ignited. DO NOT start the engine near
spilled fuel or combustible fluids.
DO NOT fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or
hot. DO NOT overfill tank, since spilled fuel could ignite if
it comes into contact with hot engine parts or sparks from
the ignition system. Store fuel in approved containers, in
well-ventilated areas and away from sparks and flames.

GLOBUG 4-SPOT — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
■
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.
LIFTING/TRANSPORTING THE GLOBUG
■
ALWAYS use the lifting hanger, when lifting of the GloBug
is required.

■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.
■
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.

■
When transporting the GloBug 4-Spot, lower the mast
.
Tighten the lamp adjustment lever and make sure
fully
that the lighting unit assembly is fixed to the mast before
transporting. This will prevent the light assembly from
falling down or being damaged during transport.
LAMP SAFETY AND CARE
■
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.
■
ALWAYS make sure the lamp surface is clean and dry.
■
ALWAYS replace with MQ recommended type lamp. See
parts section of this manual.
■
NEVER use force when installing a lamp. Excessive force
could cause the lamp to break causing bodily harm.
■
NEVER attempt to replace lamp with the power on. Always
unplug the power cord from the generator when changing
the lamp.
■
ALWAYS allow a sufficient amount of time for the lamp to
cool
before changing. The possibility exists of severe
burns.

GLOBUG 4-SPOT — COMPONENTS
Figure 6 shows the location of the controls and components
for the GLOBUG 4-SPOT. The functions of each control is
described below:
1. Reflex Mirror – Enhances lighting from the bulbs.
2. Lighting Unit – Consists of 4 lamps in their sockets.
3. Lamp Stand – holds the four lamps of the lighting unit
together.
4 Lamp – 400 watt metal-halide type lamp. Replace with
only MQ recommended type lamp. Always allow a
sufficient amount of time for the lamp to
before changing.
5. Adjust Lever – This lever allows the lamp to be
positioned up or down. Turn counterclockwise to release
lamp and position. Turn clockwise to tighten.
6. Fold Lever – Holds the lamp stand in place after
adjusting its height.
7. Lamp Power Cable – Connects the lamps to the power
(generator).
8. Mast – This mast is comprised of three separate stages.
The mast can be raised in excess of 13.78 feet. (4.2
meters). Again when raising the mast, always be on the
lookout for overhead obstructions.
cool down
14. Locking Clamps – To secure the generator to the
GloBug cart platform, place clamps (4) around the pipe
frame of the generator. Tighten securely to prevent
movement.
15. Outriggers – ALWAYS deploy the outriggers when
raising the mast.
16. Guide Square Pipe - frames the generator.
17. Brake Pedal – Step on this pedal to apply the brakes. To
release the brakes, press down on brake pedal again.
18. Cart – Holds the generator that supplies power to the
lighting unit.
19. Tires – The GloBug 4-Spot uses 4 pneumatic type tires.
Replace with only recommended type tire . NEVER allow
the rear tires to go flat. This could adversely affect the
braking system. Inflate tires to 35.5 psi (245kPa).
20. Catcher – Holds the outrigger in place in the stow
position.
21. Brake Pad – When the brake pedal is pressed, this pad
will strike and hold the rear tires in place. Make sure rear
tires are inflated to the correct air pressure.
9. Mast Winch – Use this winch to raise and lower the mast.
Always be on the lookout for overhead obstructions.
