PAGE 12 —GB4000 BALLOON LIGHT• OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL —REV. #1 (02/25/14)
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The electrical voltage required to operate the generator
can cause severe injury or even death through physical
contact with live circuits. Turn generator and all circuit
breakers
OFF
before performing maintenance on the
generator.
NEVER
insert any objects into the output
receptacles during operation. This is
extremelydangerous.Thepossibilityexists
of
electrical shock, electrocution or
death.
NEVER
operate light tower
or handle any electrical
equipment whilestandingin
water, while barefoot, while
hands arewet or intherain.
A dangerous
electrical
shock
couldoccur, causing
severe bodily harm or
even death.
ALWAYS
make sure the
areaabovethelight tower is
open and clear of overhead
power lines and other
obstructions. The tower
extends in excess of 30
feet (9 meters). Contact
with overhead power
lines or other obstructions
could result in equipment
damage,
electrical shock,
electrocution and even
death.
Similar to boom equipment
,
light tower may become
energized with high voltage.
DO NOT
operate the light
tower within a radial distance of 17 feet (5.1 meters)
from high voltage power lines. If light tower becomes
energizedwithhighvoltage, contact withtheequipment
could result in electrocution.
NEVER
operate GB4000 in winds in excess of
40 MPH
(
64 km/h
).
SAFETY INFORMATION
Backfeed to a utility system can cause
electrocution
and/or propertydamage.
NEVER
connect thegenerator
toabuilding’selectrical systemwithout atransfer switch
or other approved device. All installations should be
performedbya
licensedelectrician
in
accordancewithall applicablelawsand
electrical codes. Failure to do so could
result in electrical shock or burn,
causing
seriousinjuryor evendeath.
Power Cord/Cable Safety
NEVER
let power cords or cables
lay in water.
NEVER
use
damaged
or
worn
cables or cords when
connecting equipment to generator. Inspect for cuts in
the insulation.
NEVER
grab or touch a live power
cord or cable with wet hands. The
possibility exists of
electrical shock,
electrocution or death.
Make sure power cables are securely connected.
Incorrect connections may cause electrical shock and
damage to the light tower.
ALWAYS
make certain that proper power or extension
cord has been selected for the job.
Ensure fan power cable is safely routed and secured
as it travels fromthe junction box down the mast to the
GFCI receptacle.
Grounding Safety
The light tower is equipped with a ground terminal for
your protection.
ALWAYS
complete the grounding path
fromthe light tower to an extrnal grounding source.
ALWAYS
make sure that electrical circuits are properly
grounded to a suitable earth ground (ground rod) per
the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes
before operating generator.
Severe injury or death by
electrocution
canresult fromoperatinganungrounded
generator.
NEVER
use gas piping as an electrical ground.
