Installing Lens, Lamp, And Cooling; Lens Installation - Christie Roadie HD+35K User Manual

Section 2: Installation and Setup
Using the FredFrame™
To hoist, stack and/or "fly" projectors using the optional FredFrame™ (PN 38-814007-xx), you must first
remove the handles and properly secure each projection head within a FredFrame™. Then using appropriate
rigging clamps (PN 38-814007-51), you can raise and/or suspend the projector 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.
Refer to the complete instructions for using the FredFrame™. These include all installation instructions as well
as mechanical adjustment procedures for proper image alignment.
Using a Fork Lift
Strong extruded rails that mount to the bottom of the FredFrame™ accommodate forks from a forklift, and are
mandatory for this method of transport. Do not lift the projection head with equipment unless the FredFrame™
and forklift rails are installed. The projector's handles must be removed when installing the FredFrame™.
Follow the instructions provided with the FredFrame™ kit.
Stacking
To stack two projection heads together, you must first secure each head within a FredFrame™, and then secure
all corners of the frames together using 4 stacking pins (provided). Do not stack more than 2 projection heads
together, and do not attempt to move stacked projectors without proper transport equipment. Refer to the
instruction provided with the FredFrame™ Kit for stacking.
