SAFETY INFORMATION
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.
MAST SAFETY

hands and fi ngers clear of the various mast
sections, this will prevent hands and fi ngers
from getting pinched.
NEVER attach anything to the mast.
ALWAYS lower the mast when not in use, or if
high winds or electrical storms are expected in the area.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
DANGER
Lighting system is equipped with a ground pin on the
power plug. For your protection, ALWAYS
complete the
grounding path. NEVER
insert the AC power plug into a
2-prong receptacle to operate lighting system.
When applying power to the lighting system,
ALWAYS
connect the AC power plug to a 3-prong receptacle that
is grounded. The possibility exists of
electrical shock,
electrocution and even death
if the lighting system is
not grounded.
NEVER operate lighting system or
handle any electrical equipment while
standing in water, while barefoot, while
hands are wet or in the rain. A dangerous
electrical shock could occur, causing
severe bodily harm or even death.
ALWAYS make sure the area above
the lighting system is open and clear
of overhead power lines and other
obstructions. Contact with overhead
power lines or other obstructions could
result in equipment damage, electrical
shock, electrocution and even death.
Power Cord/Cable Safety
DANGER
NEVER let power cords or cables lay in water.
NEVER use damaged or worn
cables or cords. Inspect
for cuts in the insulation
NEVER grab or touch a live power
cord or cable with wet hands. The
possibility exists of electrical shock,
electrocution or death.
Make sure power cables are securely connected.
Incorrect connections may cause electrical shock
and
damage to the lighting system.
NOTICE
ALWAYS
make certain that proper power or extension
cord has been selected for the job. See Cable Selection
Chart in this manual.
