ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR NEW TIMES SQUARE
LIGHTING FOLLOWSPOT
Your new Times Square Lighting Followspot has
been built and carefully tested to provide many
years of trouble free and reliable service.
Following these simple rules will help ensure the
life of your fixture.
Carefully remove all pieces from the carton. Do
not dispose of the carton or any packing material
until you have carefully checked that you have
received all the parts you need, as well as, any
parts which may have been dislodged in shipping.
Assemble the stand first by fastening the casters
to the base with the nuts and lock washers provided. Use a wrench to tighten. Screw the pipe
assembly into the center hole in the base. With
the larger pipe toward the bottom, screw the pipe
in using your hands. DO NOT USE A WRENCH.
Next, raise the smaller pipe a few inches out of
the larger one by loosening the bottle connector
handle and lifting the pipe. Be sure to tighten the
bottle connector handle again to keep the pipe in
place. Place the yoke on top of the stand and
operating instructions
screw the yoke tightly on until it stops. Then
unscrew the yoke 1 ½ turns to allow the unit to
pivot freely.
Using two persons, carefully lift the followspot
body and line up the bolts from the yoke support
plate with the slots in the yoke. Carefully lower the
unit until the bolts contact the bottom of the yoke
support plate. Tighten the yoke knobs to the
desired tension allowing for free, but not loose
movement of the unit.

STEP 1: INSTALLING THE LAMP
1. Open rear lamp access door (#1) by loosening
triangle knob.
2. Remove socket assembly from bracket by
unscrewing the left and right knobs (the middle
knob is for lamp alignment and should not be
removed). Pull this assembly out and line up the
lamp's pins with the holes in the lamp socket.
3. Press the lamp firmly into the socket. (Be sure
to follow the manufacturers instructions accompanying the lamp you use with respect to touching
and cleaning the lamp).
4. Carefully insert the lamp and socket assembly
through the opening in the reflector.
5. Screw the two knobs back into their mounting
holes.
STEP 2: PARTS/OPERATION
1. The power switch (#2) turns the unit on & off.
2. The narrow, black knob on the back of the unit
(#3) controls the iris. The iris is used to control the
circular spot size of the light. If the iris is open to
its maximum, the light will spread to maximum. If
the iris is closed, the light will concentrate to a
small spot. If the iris is closed for more than 60
seconds, the unit must be turned off to prevent the
lamp from burning the interior components.
3. The flat, black knob on the back of the unit (#4)
controls the shutter. The shutter is used to control
the framing of the top and bottom edges of the
beam.
4. The long, black, narrow handle on the side of
the unit (#5) is the focus handle. To operate the
focus handle, turn the handle counterclockwise to
loosen then slide the handle back and forth to
achieve a hard or soft edge spot. After focusing,
tighten the handle down.
5. The color boom (#6) is operated by depressing
one or more of the colored knobs; this will bring
the color media into line with the path of the light.
6. The dowser (black knob) will simulate a fade,
when slowly lowered into position. As with the iris,
it is best to turn the unit off if the dowser is in the
down position for more than 60 seconds.
Remember, practice and experience are the best
teachers. Practice with the unit before using it for
a production.
