BALLAST ACCESSORY
The ballast accessory is used to stabilize Baselight in heavy wind. This eliminates the need of
support lines in winds over 20 m/s. With this accessory properly applied the wind resistance
is >30 m/s.
Attach the ballast sheet as show in the picture. It can then be filled with gravel, sand or wa-
ter. Fill it 2/3 or about 20KG as a maximum. The operator must determine a suitable amount
depending on the expected wind velocity by observing the movement of the mast and the
unit as a whole.
Test the correct amount by trying to move Baselight sideways after filling up. Swaying of
mast and armature is normal but the legs should not leave the surface.
