SETUP

RAISING THE MAST

Before raising the mast, make sure the upper T-handle bolt lock (Figure 12) 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.

DANGER

ALWAYS make sure the area above the lighting system is open and clear of overhead power lines and other obstructions. The mast extends in excess of 13 ft. (4 meters) when an optional extension is used. Contact with overhead power lines or other obstructions could result in equipment damage, serious Injury or death!

5.To improve stability and to prevent tipping of the light unit, place sand bags or similar type weight over the tripod legs or weight hook as shown in Figure 12.
