8 Safety Information LB Machine Description and Intended Use This machine is an electrically-powered source of illumination. The Wacker Neuson Light Balloon consists of an adjustable tripod or adjustable equipment mount which supports a metal halide lamp enclosed inside a collapsible translucent covering (balloon). Also included are a power cord and a ballast unit. Electric power is supplied to the ballast by a generator or by utility power (not included with the machine). The operator connects the ballast to the Light Balloon and the power source, and adjusts the tripod or equipment mount as needed. The machine is intended for the illumination of outdoor areas. This machine has been designed and built strictly for the intended use described above. Using the machine for any other purpose could permanently damage the machine or seriously injure the operator or other persons in the area. Machine damage caused by misuse is not covered under warranty. The following are some examples of misuse: Using the machine as a ladder, support, or work surface Using the machine as a hoist or hanging items from the tower Operating the machine with the balloon suspended from the power cord Operating the machine outside of factory specifications Operating the machine in a manner inconsistent with all warnings found on the machine and in the Operator s Manual This machine has been designed and built in accordance with the latest global safety standards. It has been carefully engineered to eliminate hazards as far as practicable and to increase operator safety through protective guards and labeling. However, some risks may remain even after protective measures have been taken. They are called residual risks. On this machine, they may include exposure to: Ultraviolet radiation from the lights Electric shock and arc flash Glare from lights (lights may blind drivers of nearby motor vehicles if the lights are incorrectly positioned) Personal injury from improper lifting techniques To protect yourself and others, make sure you thoroughly read and understand the safety information presented in this manual before operating the machine. 8 wc_si000511gb.fm

22 Operation LB Turning ON/OFF the Light Prerequisites Ballast and power source LB 1 assembled Turning on Follow the procedure below to turn on the light. 1. Connect the plug (a) of the light cord into the ballast (b). If in doubt which way the plug should be installed, install it so that the screw (d) is facing up. 2. Secure the plug to the ballast with the clamp (c). Then, plug the ballast into the GFCI-protected circuit. The bulb will reach full power in 4 5 minutes. Note: After being turned off, the lamp requires a 7 10 minute cool-down period before it will re-start.. WARNING Electric shock and trip hazard! Do not allow pedestrians or vehicular traffic to cross over the electrical cords. The cords could be damaged, cut, or tripped over. CAUTION Electric shock hazard! The ballast choke is compensated with a capacitor. The capacitor may produce a small spark or electric shock when discharging. Disconnect the ballast from the power source before disconnecting the light from the ballast. Note: The capacitor charge conforms with ENEC/VDI and UL regulations. Due to the discharge resistance at the capacitors, the capacitor is discharged within a defined period of time (approximately 30 seconds). Turning off Follow the procedure below to turn off the light. 1. Unplug the ballast from the voltage source (GFCI-protected circuit). After approximately 30 seconds, unplug the light from the ballast. 2. Allow the lamp to cool 10 minutes, then collapse the balloon and the tripod. Note: Always collapse the balloon and the tripod after each use of the light. 22 wc_tx001535gb.fm

23 LB Emergency Shutdown Procedure Operation Procedure If a breakdown or accident occurs while the machine is operating, follow the procedure below: 1. Stop the generator engine. 2. Turn off the generator fuel supply. 3. Unplug the machine from the power source. 4. Lower the balloon. 5. Contact the rental yard or machine owner for further instructions. wc_tx001535gb.fm 23

24 Operation LB Inspecting and Cleaning Inspecting Inspect the following components each time you unpack the LB 1: Make sure that no electrical cords are damaged. If any electrical cords are defective or damaged or if the grounding plug is broken or shorted-out, have a specialist repair it. Inspect the bulb for cracked glass. Make sure the bulb is properly screwed into the socket. Inspect the lower and upper covers for damage. Do not operate the balloon with a defective cover. Cleaning Follow the instructions below for cleaning the machine: If the balloon should become damp during use, let it dry thoroughly before returning the balloon to its transport cylinder. Otherwise, it will become musty in storage. If the cover (upper/lower) is dirty, wipe it with a weak solution of liquid dish soap and water. NOTICE: Do not use solvents to clean the balloon cover! NOTICE: Never use a pressure washer to clean the machine. 24 wc_tx001535gb.fm

25 LB 1 Operation 3.9 Changing the Bulb Prerequisites Leather gloves and eye protection New lamp Removal Follow the procedure below to remove the lamp. WARNING Cutting hazard. Broken glass from the lamp can cause severe cuts. Always wear leather gloves and eye protection when changing the lamp. Note: Yellow-brown condensing particles with free or enclosed metal drops inside the lamp are normal. The lamp is damaged and in need of replacing if the inner part of the lamp is deformed by heat or if the inner or outer lamps show cracks or cuts. Removal: 1. Turn off the generator, unplug the light, and allow the lamp to cool at least 15 minutes. 2. Remove the balloon from the tripod. 3. Expand (open) the balloon. See section Setting up the Balloon. 4. Mount the balloon in a bench-top vise or other similar location that can hold the balloon securely and provide accessibility. 5. Separate the upper (a) from the lower portion (b) of the balloon by separating the hook-and-loop tape (Velcro ). Limit the opening to one or two sections. This procedure continues on the next page. wc_tx001535gb.fm 25

26 Operation LB 1 Continued from the previous page. 6. Disconnect the snaps and remove the burst cage (c). 7. With a gloved hand, unscrew the lamp (d) and remove it. Installation Follow the procedure below to install a new lamp. 1. With a gloved hand, screw the lamp into the light fixture. NOTICE: Avoid touching the lamp with your bare hands. Oils from your skin may shorten lamp life. 2. Re-install the burst cage. 3. Reconnect the lower and upper portions of the balloon with the hook-and-loop tape (Velcro ). The procedure to change the lamp is now complete. 26 wc_tx001535gb.fm

27 LB Troubleshooting Operation Problem Reason Remedy Balloon does not open. The stop bolt is not pulled out before attempting to push the black hand grip downward. Lamp does not light.
