Hoisting and Stacking
WARNING
Use straps or cabling
with load capacity
adequate for the
projector/frame weight.
'
For most installations, you will likely have to safely lift or hoist this projector—or a
stack of 2 projectors—into place. Keep in mind the following critical safety
guidelines for all handling of the projector.
Carrying/Moving the Projection Head
Four or more people can lift and hand-carry one projection head (with or without a

FredFrame ) a short distance as required. Never attempt to carry a stack by hand. To
use equipment to move the projection head, always install a FredFrame
Using a Fork Lift
Do not attempt to use a fork lift without first installing the
fork lift rails on the bottom of the FredFrame
the base of the projector may crush and damage internal
Strong extruded rails that mount to the bottom of the FredFrame
forks from a fork lift, and are mandatory for this method of transport. Do not lift the
projection head with equipment unless the FredFrame
installed.
Using the FredFrame
To hoist, stack and/or "fly" projectors, you must properly secure each projection head
within a FredFrame
suspend this assembly. If desired, the lamp ballast can also be hoisted and flown from
its integral rigging bars. Follow the instructions provided with the FredFrame kit.
•Use straps and/or cabling with load capacity adequate
for the total projection head and frame weight.
NOTE: Never exceed the Load Rating specified in the FredFrame
Rigging Kit instructions. Critical safety.
Refer to the complete instructions for using the FredFrame
installation instructions as well as mechanical adjustment procedures for proper
image alignment.
Stacking
To stack two projection heads together, you must first secure each head within a

FredFrame , then secure all corners of the frames together using 4 stacking pins
(provided). You must also use the Roadie 25K Exhaust Adapter to route exhaust air
from the bottom projector away from the top projector (not required with a side-by-
side projector row). Do not stack more than 2 projection heads together, and do not
attempt to move stacked projectors without proper transport equipment.
