1. Safety Precautions
WARNING: TIPPING OVER
Always be sure to install this SBL750L-M Light Tower to Generator/Trailer set before
use.
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 be
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 LED heat and
provide safety by preventing the LED 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 Light Tower so that it is leveled by setting blocks under
the wheels to avoid inclining mast (standing vertically).
Always be sure to lower the mast to the lowest position when moving.
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK
Do not touch this Light Tower during operation if equipment or your body is wet.
Do not plug or unplug the power plug with a wet hand.
Do not use the power cord if it is damaged or worn.
Do not connect the power cord to the outlet when performing any check or
maintenance of the LED and other parts.
WARNING: IMPAIRED EYESIGHT
Do not work for an extended period of time near the LED and do not look directly into
the LED.
Do not turn on the LED while balloon fabric is removed. Looking directly into a LED
light source can cause dizziness.
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.
When changing the LED illumination angel, be careful not to insert your fingers
between the LED plate and LED mounting stay.
Do not modify the Light Tower and do not operate with parts removed.
CAUTION: BURNS
Do not touch the LED, lamp guard when the LED is lit up or immediately
after being turned off because they are extremely hot.
CAUTION: ELECTRIC SHOCK
Do not sprinkle water on the equipment and do not use where exposed to rain.
CAUTION: FIRE
Be careful that the power cord is not caught or pulled when raising or lowering the
telescopic mast or transporting the Light Tower. Doing so could result in faulty power
cord connection, internal severed wire or short circuit due to heat, or similar fault.

5. Operating Procedures
5-1. Using the Lamp Fitting
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK
Do not touch this Light Tower during operation if it or your body is wet.
CAUTION: INJURY
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.
When changing the LED illumination angle, be careful not to insert your
fingers between the LED plate and LED mounting stay.
CAUTION: BURNS
Do not touch the LED, lamp guard when the LED is lit up or immediately after
being turned off as they are extremely hot.
(1) Adjusting the Lamp Fitting Right/Left Rotation
Hold the lamp fitting lever with one hand and
loosen the rotating handle.
Move the lamp fitting lever to adjust the
direction to the right or left, and tighten the
rotating handle.
Tighten the rotating handle again by using
both hands and securely fix the lamp fitting.
(2) Adjusting the Lamp Fitting Tilt Angle
Tilt the lamp fitting as necessary according to the application. Place the lamp fitting to
horizontal when storing.
<Note>
Use at an incline angle within a range of 45°
from vertical due to the wind receiving area
increasing when placed horizontally.
Hold the lamp fitting lever with one hand and
loosen the tilt handle.
Move the lamp fitting lever to adjust the tilt
angle and tighten the tilt handle.
Tighten the tilt handle again by using both
hands and securely fix the lamp fitting.
<Note>
Be careful not to forget to tighten the tilt handle because the lamp fitting seems to be
secured, as weights of the auxiliary spring and lamp fitting are balanced even though the
tilt handle is not actually tightened. Be careful not to forget to tighten at the vertical
position.

(3) Turning the LED Lamp ON/OFF
<Note>
When the rated voltage is supplied, the fan rotates and the balloon is inflated regardless of
the power unit toggle switch position ("OFF" or "ON"). Conversely, the fan is stopped and the
balloon is deflated if the rated voltage is turned off.
1 Turn ON
Move the toggle switch on the control panel of the
power unit to "ON".
Turn OFF
Move the toggle switch to "OFF".
5-2. Lifting/Lowering the Mast
CAUTION: INJURY
Do not touch the mast, winch drum or wire when the mast is moving up/down.
CAUTION: FIRE
Be careful that the power cord is not caught or pulled when raising or lowering
the telescopic mast or transporting the Light Tower. Doing so could result in
faulty power cord connection, internal severed wire short circuit due to heat, or
similar fault.
<Note>
Depletion of the grease of the ring key on the surface on the winch drum side reduces the
service life of the winch.
Periodically apply grease according to "10. Inspection/Maintenance".
(1) Lifting the Mast
Turn the winch handle to the right (clockwise rotation) to
lift the mast.
<Note>
Winch handle movement becomes more difficult when
nearing the highest mast position. Do not force the mast
beyond that position. The highest position is where you
can see the arrow label. Forcibly turning the winch can
result in malfunction and breakage of the winch, wire or
pulley.
(2) Lowering the Mast
Turn the winch handle to the left (counterclockwise
rotation) to lower the mast.
<Note>
The reverse winding protector functions when the mast
exceeds the lowest position to prevent the winch handle
from moving further. Do not forcibly turn the handle.
