Positioning your Flogos-lite Machine
Opening your Flogos-lite Machine
Position the Flogos-lite in the desired place for
the event. Although the Flogos-lite will still
need to be manually leveled, it is to your
advantage to begin with a place as level as
possible.
Unlatch the 4 latches which secure the top of the case.
Remove the top and set aside noticing that the Skirt and
Windscreen are secured to the lower side of the Case Top.

Ling the Inner Top
Each of the two persons should be standing on the sides of the Flogos-lite machine where the
oval shaped hand holds are located on the Inner Top. Each person should grasp the Inner Top by
placing their hand through the oval shaped hole. Lift the Inner Top keeping it relatively level as
it is being lifted.
Each person then unfolds one of the legs by depressing the
leg locking button located in the gap near the hinge point
of the leg. The leg is folded downward until it locks into
position with an audible “click.” Each person then holds
the Inner Top with the opposite hand and repeats the leg
unfolding with the remaining leg making sure there is an
audible “click” indicating the leg is locked into position.

Set Legs Into the Leg Locks
Lower the Inner Top until the legs rest on the Leg Locks located in each of the four corners of the
Lower Case. Guide each leg into the square hole in its Leg Lock. There are no locking mechanisms
to hold the legs into the Leg Locks. Each leg, though, must rest in the bottom of its’ repective Leg
Lock in order for the Inner Top to be properly leveled and for proper operation of the Flogos-lite.
Attach the helium hose to the tting on the gas control
solenoid located on the lower side of the Controller
Enclosure. Using two 9/16” open end wrenches (included)
hold the tting on the solenoid valve with one and tighten
the gas hose tting with the other. This prevents undue
stress being placed on the solenoid valve which could dam-
age it.
The supplied regulator is a U.S. standard CGA-580 inert gas
tting. If the supplied regulator cannont be used, and a
different regulator is used, make sure it is capable of a
steady 50 PSI output. Do not adjust tting.

Insert the female end of the power cord into the
receptacle in the end of the lower right side of the
Controller Enclosure. Attach the female quick

Global Special Effects technicians use a 33-Gal-
lon 1.6-hp Craftsman air compressor capable of
approximately 5.5 SCFM (155.76 Liter/Min) ow
rate at 70 PSA (4.82 Bar).
Use a carpenter’s level to adjust the Flogos-lite
as level as possible in both horizontal
directions.

Flogos-lite™ Instruction Manual
Remove the Skirt from the lower side of the Case Top. The
Skirt is attached by pressing the hook and loop fastener
attached to the Skirt to the hooks which are attached
around the outer perimeter of the Inner Top beginning on
the left hand side of the rear of the Inner Top. Continue
attaching the Skirt around the Inner Top tucking the lower
edge of the Skirt into the Lower Case as you proceed. The
small gap left at the junction of the ends of the Skirt is
where the hoses and power cord pass through.
Remove the Windscreen from the Case Top where the Skirt
was stored. Begin installing the Windscreen by inserting the
upright supports, which have black caps, into the
Windscreen support sockets.

Flogos-lite™ Instruction Manual
There is an opening at the rear of the Windscreen which
should be oriented to the rear of the Flogos-lite in order to
gain access to the controls. The ap covering the controls
can be unzipped, raised upward, and secured by the small
tabs of hook and look fasteners located above the ap.
Access to the controls is then possible. During opperation
of the Flogos-lite, this ap should be lowered and secured
by the hook and loop fasteners along its’ lower edge.
With power switch OFF, adjust the air and helium valves as required.
