Figure 3 shows the location of the controls and components for the GBC Lighting System.The functions of each control is described below:
1.Balloon Cover — Stores balloon when GBC is not in use. Allow a sufficient amount of time for the lamp to cool down before storing balloon. Possibility exists of balloon getting burned.
2.Balloon — Made of heat resistant polyester, with a diameter of 47.2 inches (1,200 mm). Balloon is self- inflating and inflates in less than 20 seconds.
3.Velcro — Used to easily attach optional message strip to the balloon.
4.Buckle — Used to hold the balloon together when storing inside the cover.
5.AC Power Cable — Connects to the AC power source.
6.Cart — Holds the generator and can be steered easily to transport GBC to different locations.
7.Locking Clamps — To secure the generator to the cart platform, place clamps around the pipe frame of the generator. Tighten securely to prevent movement.
8.Tire — The GBC uses four pneumatic tires for easy maneuverability.
9.Brake Pad — When the brake pedal is pressed, this pad will strike and hold the rear tires in place.
10.Strap Slots — Allows suitcase generators to be strapped to cart securely.
11.Outriggers — Provides stability to the GBC. When raising the mast, outriggers should always be deployed.
