All that now remains is to plug the lights into a
suitable power supply, switch ON and check that
they all work as they should. In case of difficulty, contact
your local HSS Safe and Sure Depot for advice.
If at any time, the light fails, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
REPAIR IT YOURSELF. Contact your local HSS Safe and
Sure Depot for advice.
Never use the lights for anything other than their
intended purpose. If they are not suitable for what you
want, assume you have the wrong equipment for the
job. Contact your local HSS Safe and Sure Depot for
advice.
Never expose the equipment to excessive moisture,
dust or dangerous/corrosive chemicals.
Keep the equipment clean. You will find this less of a
chore if you clean it regularly, rather than wait until the
end of the hire period.
To prevent static sparks, you must only use a damp
cloth to clean the polycarbonate overtube.
Handle the equipment with care, this type of lighting
contains delicate bulbs that can be damaged by rough
treatment.
When not in use, store the equipment somewhere
clean, dry and safe from thieves and unauthorised
users.
Switch OFF the power supply and unplug each
light, then neatly coil the power supply cable.
Give the unit a final clean, ready for return to your
local HSS Safe and Sure Depot.
Cleaning
The operator has a duty of care to ensure the
equipment is returned clean of any potentially
harmful contaminants. Equipment that has not
been cleaned will not be accepted back by HSS.

The HSS Tank and Compact Link Lights are only
available in 110V (fitted with a safety push and twist
16A round yellow plug) and must be provided with a
suitable 110V generated supply, or be powered
from the mains via a suitable 110V transformer.
The plug and socket fitted to this equipment are
the safety push and twist type, no other type of
connection can be used. If in doubt contact your local
HSS Safe and Sure Depot.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
GENERAL SAFETY Extension leads fitted with the correct plug and
socket, should be fully unwound and loosely
coiled, away from the work area. Never run them
through water, over sharp edges or where they
could trip someone.
Keep the equipment dry. Using electrical equipment
in very damp or wet conditions can be dangerous.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, always use
a suitable RCD (Residual Current-Operated Device)
available from your local HSS Safe and Sure Depot.
If using a transformer to provide power, ensure
that the total power load is less than 75% of the
units power rating.
The lights can be linked to create a continuous
run, the chart below will help you set up the
maximum amount.
If the equipment fails, or if its plug or lead gets
damaged, return it. Never try to repair it yourself.
Never carry or pull the equipment by its power
supply cable.
Ensure the power socket is switched OFF before
plugging into the power supply.
Position the lights with care, somewhere they won’t
be knocked over and where they won’t dazzle people,
this can be as dangerous as darkness.
GETTING STARTED
Position each light before connecting plugs to sockets.
The compact model can be stood upright or lain
on the ground.
The tank model can be either lain on the ground
or suspended by its hanging strap.
Now, starting with the light furthest from the
power supply connect each unit to the next.
To make the connection, lift and hold the cover to the
power take-off socket (PTO). Insert the plug into the
PTO ensuring the lug lines up with the slot (see
illustration).
Push the plug fully home, then turn clockwise
approximately a quarter turn, ensuring the socket lid
catches onto the plug.
Coil excess lead neatly but loosely, close to the power
source and away from the work area where people
can’t trip over it.
