Safety Information
1.4
Lamp Safety
Description
The lamps provided with your Light Tower are electric discharge lamps. They are
designed for use with metal halide ballasts only, and require time to reach full
brightness on initial startup and after a power interruption. These lamps comply
with FDA regulation performance standards 21 CFR 1040-30.
Operating
safety
Replace damaged lamps according to the instructions in section
Removing /
Replacing Lamps.
Alternative lamps that automatically extinguish when the outer envelope is
broken or punctured are commercially available.
1.5
Hydraulic Fluid Safety
Safety
instructions
Inspect the hydraulic system thoroughly before operating the machine.
Do not touch hydraulic fluid or hydraulic components while the machine is
operating. Wait until the machine is cool.
Before disconnecting hydraulic fittings or hoses, ensure that all pressure has
been bled from the circuit. Set all controls in neutral, turn engine off, and allow
the fluids to cool before loosening hydraulic fittings or attaching test gauges.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under high pressure may penetrate the skin, cause
burns, blind, or cause other serious injuries or infections. Contact a physician
immediately for treatment if your skin has been penetrated by hydraulic fluid,
even if the wound seems minor.
Fluid leaks from small holes are often practically invisible. Do not use your bare
hands to check for leaks. Check for leaks using a piece of cardboard or wood.
Hydraulic fluid is extremely flammable. Stop the engine immediately if a
hydraulic leak is detected.
After servicing the hydraulics, make sure all components are reconnected to the
proper fittings. Failure to do so may result in damage to the machine and/or
injury to a person on or near the machine.
