BALLOON SAFETY

WARNING

To prevent serious burns, NEVER touch or unzip the balloon envelope when the

lamp is on.

CAUTION

ALWAYS keep the balloon away from sharp objects and excessive amounts of heat.

NOTICE

To prevent balloon deformation, NEVER use lighting system in strong winds.

DO NOT place the balloon inside its protective cover until the lamp has had a suffi cient amount of time to cool down. This will prevent the balloon’s nylon cover from being burned (touching the lamp surface).

ALWAYS place the balloon inside its protective cover after each use. This will prolong the life of the balloon material, keeping it protected from harsh environmental elements.

Replace balloon immediately if damaged. A damaged balloon will not infl ate properly, and may become more damaged by touching the hot lamp surface.

DO NOT use excessive force when zipping and unzipping the balloon. Be gentle with the zipper mechanism. If the zipper is broken, the balloon will become unusable.
