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 set on a flat level surface. 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.
