04/ Fixture Installation
DO install and operate by qualified operator. Fixture(s) should be installed in areas
outside walking paths, seating areas, or away from areas were unauthorized personnel
might reach the fixture by hand. NEVER stand directly below the fixture(s) when rigging,
removing or servicing.
Always ensure that the unit is firmly fixed to avoid vibration and slipping off during
operation. Ensure that the trussing or area of installation must be able to hold 10 times
the weight without any deformation. Always attach a safety cable that can hold at least
12 times the weight of the fixture whenever installing this fixture in a suspended
environment to ensure that the fixture will not fall if the clamp fails.
This fixture is fully operational in three different mounting positions: hanging
upside-down, mounted sideways on trussing, or fix on a flat level surface (such as the
ground or a wall). Always use and install the supplied safety cable as a safety measure to
prevent accidental damage and/or injury in the event the clamp fails.

Align the upper positioning point with the lower one, then let go after rotating the bolt for a
certain angle, and the bolt will be automatically inserted into the positioning point to lock the
two fixtures.
Note: When separating the fixtures, first lift the bolt upward and rotate it for a certain angle
(10°-170°), then release your hand. Press the reset button, and at the same time pull the lock
catch to the extreme edge in the opposite direction, and then release the reset button to
