bolt lock (Figure 15) 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 15 ft (4.5 meters)
power source cable.

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.
