Mast
Floodlights
Twin floodlights, mounted on a
6m telescopic mast, using 2 x
500W halogen lamps
Raise each section as required securing in place with either
pin or by tightening the thumbscrew.
With help, raise the unit onto its base and
point the lamp
in the required direction.
The tripod legs are fitted with base plates which can be
anchored to a concrete base using suitable anchors.
All that now remains is to
plug the light into its power
supply, switch ON and check that it works
as it should. In
case of difficulty, contact your local HSS Hire.
Coil excess lead neatly but loosely,
close to the power
supply and away from the work area where people can’t
trip over it.
Never use the floodlight for anything other than its
intended purpose.
If it will not do what you want, assume
you have the wrong equipment for the job. Contact your
local HSS Hire for advice.
Never expose the equipment to excessive moisture,
dust or dangerous/corrosive chemicals.
Keep the equipment clean.
You will find this less of a
chore if you clean it regularly, rather than wait until the end
of the hire period.
Handle the equipment with care.
Never over-tighten or
cross-thread thumbscrews and fittings and remember that
even site lighting contains delicate bulbs
and will be
damaged by rough treatment.
Always switch OFF and unplug the equipment before
making any alterations or adjustments to it.
Always handle halogen bulbs with a clean cloth
or
similar. Grease from your skin could create a ‘hot spot’ in
use, causing the bulb to explode.
When not in use, store the equipment somewhere
clean, dry and safe
from thieves.
Having switched OFF and unplugged the light, wait for
it to cool
before lowering.
Finally, neatly coil the flex ready for return to your local
HSS Hire.

Changing Bulbs
Switch OFF and unplug the floodlight from it’s power
supply. Open the floodlight’s casing and remove the
old bulb. Carefully unpack the new bulb, taking care
not to touch it with your skin – hold it using the
packaging or something similar. Finally, just clip the
bulb into place, making sure it is properly seated, and
securely close the floodlight’s casing.
