SAFETY INFORMATION
LIGHTING SYSTEM SAFETY
DANGER
NEVER use lighting system in rain, snow or
areas of high humidity that could generate
electrical storms.
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.
CAUTION
NEVER attempt service on a running machine.
NOTICE
To prevent the lighting system from overturning, NEVER
use in winds that exceed 22 mph (10 m/s).
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.
ALWAYS keep the lighting system in proper running
condition.
Fix damage to lighting system and replace any broken
parts immediately.
LAMP SAFETY
WARNING
NEVER attempt to replace lamp with the power on.
Always unplug the power cord from the generator or
power source when changing the lamp.
ALWAYS allow a suffi cient amount of time for the lamp to cool
before changing. The possibility exists of severe burns.
CAUTION
NEVER use force when installing the lamp. Excessive force
could cause the lamp to break, causing bodily harm.
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.
ALWAYS make sure lamp surface is clean and dry.
ALWAYS replace with MQ recommended type lamp. See
parts section of this manual.
If applicable, ALWAYS make sure the lamp guard is
installed correctly. NEVER deform the lamp guard.
NEVER unplug the lamp’s AC power cable during
operation.
ALWAYS have a trained technician to install and
remove lamp or replace any damaged fi xture wiring.
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.
GLOBUG LIGHTING SYSTEM • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #0 (07/23/09) — PAGE 7
SAFETY INFORMATION
BALLOON SAFETY
WARNING
To prevent serious burns, NEVER touch
or unzip the balloon envelope when the
lamp is on.
CAUTION
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.
DO NOT place the balloon inside its protective cover
until the lamp has had a suffi cient 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.
Replace balloon immediately if damaged. A damaged
balloon will not infl ate properly, and may become more
damaged by touching the hot lamp surface.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
DANGER
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.
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.
NEVER operate lighting system or
handle any electrical equipment while
standing in water, while barefoot, while
hands are wet or in the rain. A dangerous
electrical shock could occur, causing
severe bodily harm or even death.
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.
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.
GENERATOR SAFETY
If using a generator to power lighting system,
refer to applicable generator manual safety
information section.
Power Cord/Cable Safety
DANGER
NEVER let power cords or cables lay in water.
NEVER use damaged or worn cables or cords. Inspect
for cuts in the insulation
NEVER grab or touch a live power
cord or cable with wet hands. The
possibility exists of electrical shock,
electrocution or death.
Make sure power cables are securely connected.
Incorrect connections may cause electrical shock and
damage to the lighting system.
NOTICE
ALWAYS make certain that proper power or extension
cord has been selected for the job. See Cable Selection
Chart in this manual.

SAFETY INFORMATION
LOADING AND UNLOADING
Cart Type - With Lifi ting Hook
If lighting system is equipped with a transport lifting hook,
refer to the following safety information.
CAUTION
Before lifting, make sure that lighting system parts are
not damaged and screws are not loosened or lost.
ALWAYS make sure crane or lifting device has been
properly secured to lifting hook of the equipment.
NEVER lift the equipment while lighting system is
running.
Make sure the mast is completely lowered before lifting
the lighting system.
Use adequate lifting cable (wire or rope) of suffi cient
strength.
Use one point suspension hook and lift straight upwards.
Cart Type - No Lifi ting Hook
If lighting system is not equipped with a transport lifting
hook and the mast is removable, refer to the following
safety information.
Before lifting, make sure that the mast and lamp are
removed as described in the manual.
The cart can be safely lifted by two persons to the
transport vehicle.
TRANSPORTING SAFETY
NOTICE
When transporting the lighting system, if applicable,
always place in stow position and place mast in its
carrying case.
ALWAYS remove balloon/lamp assembly from the mast
when transporting lighting system. This will prevent
damage to the bulb due to vibration.
NEVER leave the balloon/lamp exposed during transport.
Exposure to excess wind or rain could damage the
balloon’s nylon cover.
Never allow any person or animal to stand underneath the
equipment while lifting.
DO NOT lift machine to unnecessary heights.
ALWAYS place balloon inside its protective cover during
transport. Be sure the cover is secured tightly around the

Lamp 18. — 1000 watt metal halide bulb with pure white
light for maximum illumination.
Lamp Guard 19. — Protects the lamp from being hit by
objects and the balloon from touching the lamp.
Carrying Case 20. — Use this case to store the pentapod
when transporting or when not in use.
Offset Pole 21. — Supports lamp assembly when attached
to the straight pole.
Knob 22. — Secures the offset pole to the straight pole
when tightened.
Straight Pole 23. — Used in conjunction with the offset
pole to support the lamp assembly.
Stay 8. — Supports the mast against the pentapod.
Mast 9. — This mast is comprised of three separate
