Unpacking

The MAC III Wash is packaged in either a cardboard box or a flightcase that is designed to protect the
product during shipment. The following items are included:
• 1500 W discharge lamp (installed)
• 2 omega brackets for clamp attachment
• This user manual

Using for the first time

Before applying power to the fixture:
• Carefully review the safety information starting on page 4.
• Prepare a power cable (see "Power connection" on page 7).
• Check that the tilt lock is released (see "Tilt lock" on page 30).
• Check that the base is fastened securely so that the torque reaction when the head is panned does not
cause the fixture to move.
When powered up, check lamp alignment as described on page 10.

Packing

Important! Release the tilt lock before repacking in the flightcase.
The tilt lock must be released during transportation in the MAC III flightcase.
