The Light Tower uses four 1000W bulbs. When replacing or removing
the bulbs, avoid leaving any grease or oil residue on the glass surface.
This can create hot spots, reducing the service life of the bulb or
causing the outer jacket to burst.
ALWAYS turn off the light circuit breakers and shut down the engine
before disconnecting the light fixtures or changing the light bulbs.
Bulbs become extremely hot in use! Allow the bulb and fixture to
cool 10–15 minutes before handling.
NEVER operate the lights without the protective lens cover in
place or with a lens cover that is cracked or damaged! The lamps
used in the floodlights produce high temperatures and operate under
pressure. They are subject to failures where the outer jacket bursts
and shatters, resulting in a discharge of extremely hot glass particles.
These particles pose a risk of personal injury, property damage, burns
and fire.
Ultraviolet radiation from the lamp can cause serious skin and eye
irritation. Use the lamp only with provided undamaged lens cover and
fixture.
