2.3.5 Hoisting and Stacking

For some installations such as large venue rental/staging applications, 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

mandatory for this method of transport. Do not lift the projection head equipment unless the FredFrame
forklift rails are installed. Always follow the instructions provided with the FredFrame

Using the FredFrame™

To hoist, stack and/or fly projectors, you must properly secure each projection head within a FredFrame
use appropriate rigging and safety cables to raise and/or 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. Warning! 1) Use straps and/or cabling with load capacity adequate for the total projection head frame
weight. 2) Remove the lens before hoisting.
NOTE: Never exceed the Load Rating specified in the FredFrame
Critical safety.
Refer to the complete instructions for using the FredFrame
as mechanical adjustment procedures for proper image alignment.

Stacking

To stack two projection heads together, you must first secure each head within a FredFrame
corners of the frames together using 4 stacking pins (provided in the FredFrame
Side-Venting Exhaust Adapter to route exhaust air from the bottom projector away from the top projector (not
required with a side-by-side projector row). Never stack more than 2 projection heads together, and do not
attempt to move stacked projectors without proper transport equipment.
