18.Fan Motor (Blower) – This electric motor is responsible for inflating the balloon. It will supply a pressure of 31.26 psi (215.6 kPA). Please note that the balloon will begin to inflate as soon as power is applied to the GloBug Solo. The OFF/ON switch does not control the electric fan motor.

19.T-Handle Bolt Lock – Always tighten this lock to hold the lamp/balloon securely in place before raising mast.
