Baselight 420X is a mobile lighng equipment intended for temporary illuminaon where high
lumen output in combinaon with low weight and minimal power consumpon is required.
Baselight is designed to protect the operator as much as possible and all important safety func-
ons are in red color. It is however a requirement that the operator understand the limitaons
of this equipment by reading this manual.
• Never cover the armature when switched on.
• Deploy the legs and secure their locking before the armature and mast is raised.
• Never switch on power before armature is outside the chassi.
• Make sure that Baselight is properly secured to the ground.
• Make sure that Baselight stands level on ground before the mast is raised.
• Make sure that Baselight is secured to the ground on slippery surfaces (snow, mud etc).
• Never try to adjust the leg angle when the mast is raised.
• Never use high pressure water to clean/rinse Baselight. Use garden hose pressure only.
• Always use electrical connecons with protecve earth and ground fault switch.
• Never try to open electrical juncon boxes. Dangerous voltage inside!
• Never hold out the red locking handles when raising the mast.
• Never use chemical substances to clean Baselight.
• Never put any extra weight/equipment on mast or armature.
• Make sure each secon locks (click sound) when raising mast.
• Never drop the mast onto lock bellow. Slide downwards gently.
• The light source in this product is based on light eming diodes (LED). Avoid looking into the light
source as this may aect your eyesight.

LEG OPERATION
1Locking slot
2Locking clamp
3Locking lever
CAUTION! Never try to adjust leg angels aer the mast is extended.
Always lower the mast before making adjustments.
The leg adjustment mechanism contains three parts:
Baselight have three support legs that can be individually adjusted to compensate for uneven
terrain. The goal for the operator is to ensure that Baselight chassi always stand straight (level)
BEFORE rising the mast.
How to unsecure legs before lowering chassi
Always make sure that Baselight armature is stoved inside the chassi before pro-
ceeding with this step!
Release the locking lever by bringing it to the down posion on all three legs.
The self locking mechanism is now deacvated and the Baselight chassi can now
be raised from the ground a few cenmetres and the locking clamps will now
leave the locking slots. It is now possible to lower the chassi to the ground. Pic-
ture shows locking lever in unlocked posion (lever down).
How to secure legs before rising chassi
When the locking lever is in its top posion the self locking mechanism is
engaged. Baselight will now self lock when chassi is raised. The operator
must determine if Baselight chassi is standing straight (level) aer being
raised from ground and adjust if necessary. Failure to check horizontal
level can lead to more fricon when raising mast. Picture shows locking
lever in locked posion (lever up)

MAST OPERATION
TO EXTEND THE MAST
1. Make sure that the support legs have been extended and locked
and that the chassi is raised from ground and in a level posion. See
chapter ”Leg operaon”.
2. When raising a mast secon place one hand on the telescopic
pole and the other hand on the lock bellow to hold it in place while
liing the secon above. Start with the top secon and repeat for
each secon below.
3. Raise each secon up unl the lock engages with a click sound.
Make sure it is locked by moving the secon up and down before
releasing grip. Failure to do so could cause the secon to fall down
and damage the lock bellow.
Now it is me to chose a conguraon of light. See chapter ”Light
conguraon”
CATION! Baselight contains a self locking telescopic mast. To avoid personal
injury or damage to Baselight these procedures must be followed!
Before extending the mast the armature must be ejected from the casing and the preferred light
conguraon selected (360 or 180, for example). Ejecon of armature is done by pressing the red
lever placed under armature on the chassi wall.
TO LOWER THE MAST
1. Always start by lowering the boom secon rst and then the
one above (and so on).
2. Place one hand around the lock and use the index nger to pull
on the red grip while the other hand grips around the mast secon
and li it upwards a cenmetre. This will disengage the safety
mechanism and make downwards movement of the secon possi-
ble.
3. Keep the grip around the mast secon (right hand in picture)
and let it slide downwards slowly. Apply breaking if necessary. The
secon should never be allowed to drop onto the next secon
which could damage to the locking mechanism.
4. Before the last secon is lowered the operator must congure
the armature for stoving before pushing armature back into chassi.

ARMATURE CONFIGURATION
360 Degree conguraons
This type of conguraon provides light in all direcon (360 degree).
When used in a lted mode make sure that the fricon lock engages. The operator folds out the
panels unl they reach a stopping posion with a disnct click sound (Fricon lock engaged). This
posion ensures that wind cannot alter the angle.
180 Degree conguraons
This type of conguraon provides concentrated light in one direcon (180 degree). Open the
snap lock on the armature base and adjust the armature by pushing it out gently to a desired
conguraon.
Mixed conguraon
As the name implies this is a mix of lted and straight armatures or armatures being in any congura-
on between open or closed. Note that a straight standing armature will project light at a further dis-
tance while a lted one will direct light onto the ground more eecvely.

The ballast accessory is used to stabilize Baselight in heavy wind. This eliminates the need of
support lines in winds over 20 m/s. With this accessory properly applied the wind resistance
is >30 m/s.
Aach the ballast sheet as show in the picture. It can then be lled with gravel, sand or wa-
ter. Fill it 2/3 or about 20KG as a maximum. The operator must determine a suitable amount
depending on the expected wind velocity by observing the movement of the mast and the
unit as a whole.
Test the correct amount by trying to move Baselight sideways aer lling up. Swaying of
mast and armature is normal but the legs should not leave the surface.

MAINTENANCE
Baselight is designed for minimal maintenance and use in remote locaons. It is a key feature of
the product to require lile or no maintenance. The recommended maintenance is as follows:
Before every usage the operator must:
Check electrical wires for damage.
This relates to:
-Main power cable & plug
-Extension cable & plug
-Armature cables
-Spiral cable
Any damaged found on these items re-
quire immediate service. Do not proceed
with operaons unl fault is removed.
Every year:
Lubricaon of the telescopic mast.
Each year the inside of the mast secons should be
lubricated with silicon spray. This is a simple proce-
dure that involves the following steps:
1. Li each mast secon (one at a me) while
holding out the red lock unl part of the mast
locking hole is visible above the lock itself.
2. Spray silicon inside for about 3 seconds.
3. Release red lock and slide mast secon down.
4. Repeat procedure for every mast secon.
