●Install it on a at surface where the legs can be fully deployed to prevent it from
tipping over.
●To prevent balloon deformation, NEVER use lighting system in strong winds.
●If the balloon becomes dented by
wind, please lower the mast to use.
●Place sand bags over the tripod legs
to improve stability.
●When storing and folding the mast ALWAYS keep hands and ngers away from
pinch points.
1.Installation
Please install on a at surface.
Never use in strong winds.
Do not use when the dent is too large caused by wind.
Tighten the knob properly.
If it is installed in an unstable place, it may fall or be damaged.
If the knob is loose, the lamp or mast may fall, resulting in injury
or damage.
To prevent the lighting
system from overturn-
ing, NEVER use in
winds that exceed 7m/
s (25km/h).
Please pay close attention to your feet during installation.
◎Always make sure the area (5m radius) around the lighting system is clear
and safe.

◆Notice for Safe Use

●ALWAYS place the components into protective cover and carrying case during
transport. Fix them rmly on the platform.
●Please make sure that the storage case is closed properly before transporting.
●The latch has two positions, upper
and lower.
Placing the latch in the lower position
provides 30 cm (1 ft) more height.
2.Transportation
Never put LED unit/balloon assembly directly during transport.
Always secure the latch to prevent tipping over.
Placing the balloon directly on a platform of truck could lead to a
damage to the balloon.
Be sure to secure the
latch. If unit is used
without securing the
latch, the unit may tip
over and lead to an
accident.
●Please be careful when transporting, loading and unloading.
Do not make an impact to lamp.
A strong impact may signicantly reduce the life of the lamp or
damage it.
Beware of the height.
Transporting the lighting system while the mast extended could
collide with overhead obstructions.
Contact with overhead power lines or other obstructions could
result in equipment damage, electrical shock, electrocution and
even death.
●Before transporting by vehicle, always place the system in the stow position.
