1. Safety Precautions
WARNING: TIPPING OVER
Lower the mast if using in strong wind that causes the lamp fitting to sway severely.
Although the mast can withstand wind speeds up to 15 m/s when the mast is
completely extended (with the balloon standing vertically), the balloon fabric can
become deformed in wind speeds of 12 to 14 m/s and entangled in the lamp guard.
Never use this equipment in wind speeds of 10 m/s (roughly the wind speed at which
the balloon fabric starts to deform) or more in order to prevent damage from lamp
heat and provide safety by preventing the lamp from tipping over.
Use on a level surface with a solid foundation. If it is absolutely necessary to use on
an inclined surface, adjust the tower light so that it is level by setting blocks under the
wheels to make sure that the mast is not at an incline (standing vertically).
Be sure to always apply the wheel brakes so that the dolly does not move. Place
wheel chocks also.
Use the outriggers to secure the tower light. Adjust the tower light so that it is level at
this time.
Always be sure to lower the mast to the lowest position when moving or transporting
loaded on a vehicle.
When loaded on a vehicle, set so that the generator side is facing towards the
direction of travel (mast is in the back). Setting the generator in the opposite direction
can readily result in it tipping over if the brake is suddenly applied.
Be sure to always apply the wheel brakes and tie with rope to secure the tower light
when loaded on a vehicle. Set the dolly handle to the right or left and place wheel
chocks to stop the front wheels from moving in order to prevent the rope from
becoming loose.
As the tower light brake function cannot be used when adjusting the brake, always be
sure to position the tower light on a level surface with a solid foundation, place wheel
chocks and lower the mast until it is at the lowest position.
WARNING: DROPPING/INJURY
If moving the tower light generator by use of a forklift, be sure to always lower the
mast to the lowest position with the generator loaded before inserting the forks
completely into the tower light.
Be sure to always use the lifting lug to lift up the tower light.
Securely tighten the bolts and nuts securing the generator when loading a generator
that has been removed from a dolly.
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK
Do not touch this tower light during operation if it or your body is wet.
Be sure to always stop the engine before performing any check or maintenance of
the lamp and other parts.
WARNING: TIPPING OVER/INJURY
Be careful of the outriggers when they are in use. You could trip and fall.
WARNING: IMPAIRED EYESIGHT
Do not work for an extended period of time near the lamp and do not look directly into
the lamp.
CAUTION: INJURY
Do not touch the mast, winch drum or wire when the mast is moving up/down.
To change the direction of the lamp fitting, hold the lamp fitting lever with one hand
and support the lamp fitting while loosening the fixing handles (rotation and tilt
handles).
Do not adopt an unnatural posture when adjusting the direction of the lamp fitting.
Be sure to always support the outriggers with one hand when setting and storing
them.
Be careful that your hand supporting the outrigger does not get pinched or caught by
the mast or winch handle when setting and storing the outriggers.
Do not tighten the lamp with excessive force. Doing so could damage the lamp.
Do not modify the tower light and do not operate with parts removed.

7. Operating Procedures (Tower Light)
WARNING: TIPPING OVER
Lower the mast if using in strong wind that causes the lamp fitting to sway
severely.
Although the mast can withstand wind speeds up to 15 m/s when the mast is
completely extended (with the balloon standing vertically), the balloon fabric
can become deformed in wind speeds of 12 to 14 m/s and entangled in the
lamp guard. Never use this equipment in wind speeds of 10 m/s (roughly the
wind speed at which the balloon fabric starts to deform) or more in order to
prevent damage from lamp heat and provide safety by preventing the lamp
from tipping over.
Use on a level surface with a solid foundation. If it is absolutely necessary to
use on an inclined surface, adjust the generator so that it is level by setting
blocks under the wheels to make sure that the mast is not at an incline
(standing vertically).
Be sure to always apply the wheel brakes so that the dolly does not move.
Place wheel chocks also.
Use the outriggers to secure the tower light. Adjust the tower light so that it is
level at this time.
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK
Do not touch this tower light during operation if it or your body is wet.
Be sure to always stop the engine before performing any check or
maintenance of the lamp and other parts.
WARNING: IMPAIRED EYESIGHT
Do not work for an extended period of time near the lamp and do not look
directly into the lamp.
CAUTION: ELECTRIC SHOCK
Do not sprinkle water on the equipment and do not use where exposed to rain.

8. Transport Procedures (Moving/Loading on a Vehicle)
WARNING: TIPPING OVER
Always be sure to lower the mast to the lowest position when moving or
transporting loaded on a vehicle.
When loaded on a vehicle, set so that the generator side is facing towards the
direction of travel (mast is in the back). Setting the generator in the opposite
direction can readily result in it tipping over if the brake is suddenly applied.
Be sure to always apply the wheel brakes and tie with rope to secure the tower
light when loaded on a vehicle. Set the dolly handle to the right or left and
place wheel chocks to stop the front wheels from moving in order to prevent
the rope from becoming loose.
WARNING: DROPPING/INJURY
If moving the tower light generator by use of a forklift, be sure to always lower
the mast to the lowest position with the generator loaded before inserting the
forks completely into the generator.
Be sure to always use the lifting lug to lift up the tower light.
<Note>
Be sure to always use the dolly tow hook if towing or pulling this generator such as if the
wheels are stuck in sand. Towing by using a part that is not indicated can result in
deformation and damage.
Do not subject the lamp fitting to impacts. An impact to the lamp could result in lamp
damage.
To lift this tower light, place the lamp fitting so that
it is horizontal, and rotate it so that the lamp fitting
is facing the opposite direction of the lifting lug. The
lamp fitting could become damaged or dirty if the
lamp fitting gets near the lifting lug and contacts
the hooks or wires of the crane.
Be sure to always cover the lamp fitting when
transporting on a vehicle, and secure so that the
front edge of the lamp fitting is facing the direction
of movement of the vehicle. Transporting loaded
on a vehicle with no cover can result in the balloon
fabric being lashed by the wind and resulting
damage. Setting the lamp fitting in the opposite
direction can result in the wind penetrating through
the cover opening, causing not only the cover to
blow off but also damage to the balloon fabric.
Be careful when lifting the tower light as it tilts
slightly to the mast side in order to prevent damage
from the mast or lamp fitting contacting the crane
hook or wires.
Securely tighten the handles (rotation and tilt handles) for securing the lamp fitting when
transporting on a vehicle. Insecure tightening can result in the lamp fitting moving,
causing it to fall off the vehicle or be otherwise damaged.
Do not attach or tie rope to the dolly handle. Doing so could damage the handle.
You can also scoop up the equipment by using a forklift directly under the tower light
generator.
