COMPONENTS
Figure 5 shows the location of the controls and components for the GBW Lighting System.The functions of each control is described below:
1.Balloon Cover — Stores balloon when GBW is not in use. Allow a suffi cient amount of time for the lamp to cool down before storing balloon. Possibility exists of balloon getting burned.
2.Balloon — Made of heat resistant polyester, with a diameter of 47.2 inches (1,200 mm). Balloon is self- infl ating and infl ates in less than 20 seconds.
3.Velcro — Used to easily attach optional message strip to the balloon.
4.Buckle — Used to hold the balloon together when storing inside the cover.
5.AC Power Cable — Connects to the AC power source (generator) on one end and to the lamp connector on the other end with
6.Pentapod — Supports and holds up the GBW.
7.Locking Clamps — To secure the generator to the cart platform, place clamps around the pipe frame of the generator. Tighten securely to prevent movement.
8.Stay — Supports the mast against the pentapod.
9.Mast — This mast is comprised of three separate stages. The mast can be raised in excess of 8 feet (without balloon). When raising the mast, always be on the lookout for overhead obstructions.
10.Mast Bolt — Loosen to raise mast and tighten to keep the mast in place when raised to the desired height.
11.AC Power Cable Connector — Connect this quick- disconnect plug to the balloon connector.
12.Message Strip (OPTIONAL) — a 12 x 43 inch message strip (GBBALD1) may be attached to the balloon. The message strip can be purchased separately.
13.Zipper — Zips up balloon to completely close it when lamp is in place.
14.Lamp Holder — Holds lamp in place. Lamp is screwed into socket.
15.Balloon Connector — Connect this connector to the AC power cable connector.
16.Lamp/Balloon Bolt — Used to tighten mast when attached to the lamp/balloon assembly.
17.Fan Motor (Blower) — Infl ates the balloon as soon as power is applied.
18.Lamp — 1000 watt metal halide bulb with pure white light for maximum illumination.
19.Lamp Guard — Protects the lamp from being hit by objects and the balloon from touching the lamp.
20.Carrying Case — Use this case to store the pentapod when transporting or when not in use.
21.Offset Pole — Supports lamp assembly when attached to the straight pole.
22.Knob — Secures the offset pole to the straight pole when tightened.
23.Straight Pole — Used in conjunction with the offset pole to support the lamp assembly.
24.Clamps — Used to attach the straight pole to an external support. These clamps must be tightened securely to prevent the light assembly from falling off.
25.Extension Pole — Extends mast height by 40 inches (GBWE). For GBHM and GBMP, 2 poles are included to support the desired balloon assembly.
26.Hitch Mount Assembly — Used to attach balloon assembly to a hitch on a truck or similar vehicle.
27.Plate Mount Assembly — Used to attach balloon assembly to a trailer or similar vehicle.
28.Plate — Attaches directly to a trailer to hold plate mount assembly.
