DANGER TO LIFE!
Please consider the respective national norms during the installation!
The installation of the xture has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without
any harming deformation.
The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net. This secondary
safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails.
When rigging, derigging or servicing the xture staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges, under high
working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before
taking into operation for the rst time and after changes before taking into operation another time.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert after
every four year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled person
once a year.
Allow the xture to cool for ten minutes before handling.
The projector should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.
IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including calculating working load limits,
installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the projector. If you lack these
