Attach both of the supplied mounting brackets to the fixture base by placing the brackets on the
fixture base matching the mounting holes and turning the twist locks by 90 degrees clockwise until
they are mounted tightly. Always use both brackets when rigging the fixture.

undamaged and can bear at least 10 times the weight of the fixture.
To un-mount the brackets turn the twist lock by 90 degrees counter clockwise and release the
brackets from the fixture base.
