components

Figure 3 shows the location of the controls and components for the GBC/GBCE Lighting System.The functions of each control is described below:

1.Balloon Cover — Stores balloon when GBC/GBCE 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 (generator) on one end and to the lamp connector on the other end with quick-disconnect connector.

6.Cart — holds the generator and can be steered easily to transport GBC/GBCE 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/GBCE 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/GBCE. When raising the mast, outriggers should always be deployed.

12.Counter Weight — Locks the outriggers in place when they are deployed or stowed.

13.Brake Pedal — Step on this pedal and pull back T-handle to apply the brakes. To release the brakes, press down and hold brake pedal again then release.

14.T-Handle— Moves the GBC/GBCE in either forward or reverse direction by pulling back or pushing forward. The T-handle also allows the cart to be steered left or right.

15.Mast — This mast is comprised of three separate stages. The mast can be raised in excess of 8 feet (without balloon).

WARNING

When raising the mast, always be on the lookout for overhead obstructions.

16.Mast Bolt — Loosen to raise mast and tighten to keep the mast in place when raised to the desired height.

17.AC Power Cable Connector — Connect this quick- disconnect plug to the balloon connector.

18.Message Strip (OPTIONAL) — a 12 x 43 inch message strip (Part No. GBBALD1) may be attached to the balloon. The message strip can be purchased separately.

19.Zipper — Zips up balloon to completely close it when lamp is in place.

20.Lamp Holder — Holds lamp in place. Lamp is screwed into socket.

21.Balloon Connector — Connect this connector to the AC power cable connector.

22.Lamp/Balloon Bolt — used to tighten mast when attached to the lamp/balloon assembly.

23.Fan Motor (Blower) — inflates the balloon as soon as power is applied to the GBC/GBCE.

24.Lamp — 1000 watt metal halide bulb with pure white light for maximum illumination.

25.Lamp Guard — Protects the lamp from being hit by objects and balloon material from touching lamp.

26.Extension Pole (GBCE Only) — Extends mast height by 40 inches.
