away from areas were unauthorized personnel might reach the fixture.

Before mounting the fixture to any surface, make sure that the installation area can hold a
minimum point load of 10 times the device’s weight.

Fixture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an
appropriate safety cable.

To avoid injury, never stand directly below the device when mounting, removing, or servicing
the fixture.

Refer to regulations BGV C1 (formerly VBG 70) and DIN VDE0711-217
for proper installation in Europe To ensure proper installation, only
qualified staff should attempt installation.

Mounting points

Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including amongst others calculating
working load limits, a fine knowledge of the installation material being used, and periodic
safety inspection of all installation material and the fixture. If you lack these qualifications, do
not attempt the installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury.

CAUTION!

Be sure a qualified electrician performs all electrical

connections.

Be sure to complete all rigging and installation procedures before connecting the main
power cord to the appropriate wall outlet.
