Standing the Fixture on its End Handles

The trackspot Bolt end handles are designed to support the weight of the fixture; however,
make sure you observe the following guidelines:
• The fixture must be located away from moving objects that could strike it and cause it to
become unbalanced.
• The fixture must be mounted on a sturdy, stable surface.
• If the surface is other than floor height, make sure you use safety cables as described in the
next section.

Mounting the Fixture on a Truss or Other Support System

WARNING:
Before mounting, disconnect power to the fixture. If it has been
operating, allow the fixture to cool for five minutes before handling.
CAUTION: Only experienced lighting personnel should attempt to hang a
lighting fixture to an appropriate theatrical truss.
WARNING: Always use a safety cable when mounting the fixture to a truss.
Failure to use a safety cable could result in injury or death. High End
Systems supplies the proper safety cables and may be contacted for
replacements if necessary. For more information go to:

Truss or Other Support System

If you are mounting the fixture(s) on a truss or another type of support, verify that the truss or
support will handle the weight of all the devices you are mounting. The trackspot Bolt fixture
with its yoke weighs 11.3 kg (25 lb).

Safety Cable

High End Systems strongly recommends that you use a safety cable when mounting any fixture.
You must supply your own safety cable and verify that the cable is capable of supporting the
weight of the fixture. You can order galvanized safety cables from your High End Systems
dealer/distributor (see Related Products and Accessories on page 5).

Clamps

You must supply the required truss clamp and make sure it is capable of supporting the weight
of the fixture with the yoke. You can order truss clamps from your High End Systems dealer/
distributor (see Related Products and Accessories on page 5).
Make sure the fixture cannot be rotated all the way around (360°). (Using two clamps is a good
way to do this). Allowing the fixture to rotate 360° could loosen the clamp mounting bolts.
