4.1 Replacing Rotating Gobos
1. Unplug the power and signal adapter cables at A and unscrew the two screws at B to take out the
component;
2. Unscrew the six screws at C to take out the static gobo wheel; Unplug the four detection wires at
D and the four motor wires at E;
3. Turn the component over and unscrew the ten screws at F to separate the GOBO component and
the CMY component;
8A

4. Unscrew the two screws used to fix the fan at G from the front of the GOBO component and
remove the fan; Half loosen the screws of the three motors at H and remove the belts; Turn the
GOBO component over and unscrew the six screws at I to take out the rotating gobo wheel
component;
5. Gently lift the gobo holder from the edge of the rotating gobo wheel (reverse side) as J shows and
slowly pull it out;
6. Remove the spring lock at K with an appropriate tool like tweezers (if the gobo is coated with
glass glue, do remove it with some good glass cleaning fluid before removing the spring lock to
avoid damage to the gobo).
9A

7. Do not touch the surface of the gobo with bare fingers. The gobo has a small position point at its
edge which has to aim at the position point on the gobo holder as L shows (glossy side towards the
light source).
8. Insert the gobo holder back into the rotating gobo wheel component in this way that its position
point has to exactly aim at the center of the rotating gobo wheel.
9. After installation, put the component back to the fixture.
