OPERATION

RAISING THE EXTENSION POLE

1.Before raising the extension pole, make sure the T-handle bolt lock (Figure 6-O) is securely tightened. This will prevent the balloon/lamp assembly from falling off. In addition make sure that the lamp power cable is connected to the mating end of the power source cable.

2.Raise extension pole (Figure 6-L) to desired height. Watch out for any overhead obstructions.

3.Using 19 mm wrench, tighten extension clamp bolt (Figure 6-Q) securely. Keep wrench in a safe place where it will not get lost.

DANGER

ALWAYS make sure the area above the lighting system is open and clear of overhead power lines and other obstructions. Contact with overhead power lines or other obstructions could result in equipment damage, Serious

Injury or Death!

DANGER

When raising the extension pole, ALWAYS be on the lookout for overhead obstructions such as high voltage power lines. The possibility exists of electrocution, even death! if the lighting system comes in contact with high voltage power lines.
