that safety cables meet all requirements. See Mount the Fixture on
page7 .
•
Check that the accessory holder is locked and that any accessory safety
cables are connected before mounting the fixture.
•
Do not operate the fixture without the lens installed.
•
Do not use this fixture with a damaged power lead. If the power lead
(cord set) is damaged, it must be replaced.
•
