Important Safety Instructions

When using your video equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read and understand all instructions before using.

2. Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or
contact hot surfaces.

3. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating
at least equal to that of the appliance should be used. Cords
rated for less amperage than the appliance may overheat.

4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this
appliance. Contact an authorized service dealer when repair
work is required. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric
shock when the appliance is used subsequently.

5. The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by
the manufacturer may cause a risk of ire, electric shock, or
injury to persons.

WARNING: Before obtaining access to terminals, all

supply circuits must be disconnected.

ATTENTION! Avant d’accéder au bloc d’alimentation,

veuillez couper l’alimentation électrique.

6. An appropriate disconnect device shall be provided as part
of the building installation.

Screen Adjustment

1. With screen in complete unrolled position, examine the
screen surface carefully. If fabric does not hang lat, loosen
the nuts on the eyebolts of the black clamps. Adjust the
wingnuts to pull or relax the fabric as needed. Several clamp
heights may be adjusted depending on the severity of the
hang. After adjustment, tighten the nuts against the
underside of the frame. Caution stage hands and others to
check area before lowering screen. Do not bump screen with
ladders, scenery, etc.

Check the cables to make sure they are winding on the motor
