Setup and Configuration

Mounting the Fixture Upright

CAUTION!

Do not mount the fixture upright without the four rubber feet attached.

To mount the fixture upright, place the fixture on a sturdy, stable non-flammable surface that will support more than the 63.5 kg (140 lb) weight of the SHOWGUN® fixture. If the surface is above floor height, use safety cables to secure the fixture to the surface.

Truss Mounting

When mounting the fixture on a truss or another type of support:

Verify the truss or support will handle the combined weight of all the devices on the truss.

Always mount the SHOWGUN® fixture using the mounting bracket assembly that shipped with your fixture and a safety cable attached to the fixture’s base.

WARNING!

Before mounting, disconnect power to the fixture. If it has been operating, allow the fixture to cool for five minutes before handling.

CAUTION!

Do not use C- Clamps to mount the SHOWGUN fixture to truss.

Use the following steps to mount a SHOWGUN® fixture on a standard truss:

1. Due to its size and weight, at least two people should support the fixture while another attaches clamps and safety cables. Always stand on a firm, stable surface when mounting the fixture to its support.

2. Tighten the clamps firmly to the fixture’s base

 

and to the truss.

Safety cable loop

 

3. Run the safety cable through the loop on the fixture’s base, and around the truss.
