Using theFan with a fog generator
Do not place the MDG theFan in front of a fog generator with the fog flowing through
the fan.
This will cause condensation and will degrade the quality of the fog.
Always blows the fog…
Rigging theFan
Verify that the structure can support at least 10 times the
total weight of the complete fixtures.
Verify that Cheeseborough bolts are properly tightened.
Any quarter-turn fasteners used (omega clamp) must be
turned a full quarter turn clockwise to lock them.
Always use a safety cable that can hold at least 10 times
the weight of the MDG theFan.
