COMPONENTS
Figure 5 shows the location of the controls and components
for the GBW Lighting System.The functions of each control
is described below:
1. — Stores balloon when GBW 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. — 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. — Used to easily attach optional message strip
to the balloon.
4. — Used to hold the balloon together when
storing inside the cover.
5. — Connects to the AC power source
(generator).
6. — Supports and holds up the GBW.
7. — To secure the pentapod, place the lock in the
upper or lower position.
8. — Supports the mast against the pentapod.
9. — This mast is comprised of three separate
stages. The mast can be raised in excess of 8 feet
(without balloon). When raising the mast, always be
on the lookout for overhead obstructions.
10. — Loosen to raise mast and tighten to keep
the mast in place when raised to the desired height.
11. — A 12 x 43 inch
message strip (GBBALD1) may be attached to
the balloon. The message strip can be purchased
separately.
12. — Zips up balloon to completely close it when
lamp is in place.
13. — Holds lamp in place. Lamp is screwed
into socket.
14. — Used to tighten mast when
attached to the lamp/balloon assembly.
15. — Inflates the balloon as soon
as power is applied.
16. — 1000 watt metal halide bulb with pure white
light for maximum illumination.
17. — Protects the lamp from being hit by
objects and the balloon from touching the lamp.
18. — Use this case to store the pentapod
when transporting or when not in use.
19. — Supports lamp assembly when attached
to the straight pole.
20. — Secures the offset pole to the straight pole
when tightened.
21. — Used in conjunction with the offset
pole to support the lamp assembly.
22. — Used to attach the straight pole to an
external support. These clamps must be tightened
securely to prevent the light assembly from falling off.
23. — Extends mast height by 35 inches.
For GBHM and GBMP, 2 poles are included to support
the desired balloon assembly.
24. — Used to attach balloon
assembly to a hitch on a truck or similar vehicle.
25. — Used to attach balloon
assembly to a trailer or similar vehicle.
26. — Attaches directly to a trailer to hold plate
mount assembly.
SETUP
GBW Setup
1. Set the GBW on a firm level surface where there is
enough space around the pentapod for the outriggers
to be deployed.
2. Remove the pentapod from the carrying case. The
pentapod outriggers are secured together with a strap.
See Figure 6. Squeeze both tabs on the buckle to
unlock strap and release pentapod outriggers.
Figure 6. Releasing Pentapod Buckle
3. Lift mast up and deploy the pentapod as shown in
Figure 7.
Figure 7. Deploying the Pentapod
4. With pentapod fully deployed, hook the latch to lock
the pentapod in place. The latch can be hooked in the

upper or lower position. Placing the lock in the upper
position will provide 1 foot (305 mm) more height. See
Figure 8.
