WARNING! The Led Moving Head (LMH) has a powerful pan motor. The torque reaction when
the head is panned suddenly can cause the base to move if the fixture is standing unsecured on
a surface. Do not apply power to the LMH unless the baase is securely fastened to a surface or to
rigging hardware.
WARNING! Use 2 clamps to rig the fixture. Do not hang the fixture from only one clamp. Lock
each clamp with both 1/4-turn fasteners. Fasteners are locked only when turned a full 90clockwise.
WARNING! When clamping the fixture to a truss or other structure at any other angle than with
the yoke hanging vertically downwards, use two clamps of half-coupler type. Do not use any type of
clamp that does not completely encircle the structure when fastened.
WARNING! Position or shade the head so that the front lens will not be exposed to sunlight or any
other strong light source from any angle - even for a few seconds. See Figure 1. The LMH lens
can focused the sun's rays, creating a potential fire hazard and causing damage.
IMPORTANT! Do not point strong light output from other fixtures at the LMH, as intense
illumination can damaged the display.
