Hoist And Stack - Christie Roadie HD+35K Setup Manual

Section 2: Installation and Setup
Special Orientations
Since this projector cannot be inverted or tilted beyond 15 degrees, all installations are typically front or rear
mounted, and requires the orientation of the "Front" or "Rear" image to be set in the Configuration > Image
Orientation menu option.

2.3.3 Hoist and Stack

For most installations, you will likely have to safely lift or hoist this projector-or a stack of two projectors-into
place. Keep in mind the following critical safety guidelines for all handling of the projector.
Carry/Move the Projection Head
Four or more people can lift and hand-carry one projection head a short distance using the handles or the
optional FredFrame™, if installed. Never carry a stack of projectors.
Hoisting/Rigging a Single Projection Head
A single projection head can be hoisted and/or suspended using its handles, a set of rigging clamps (113-
102101-XX), and appropriate rigging and safety cables. If desired, the lamp ballast can also be flown from its
integral rigging bars. To hoist, stack or "fly" a stack of projectors you must use the optional FredFrame™.
See Using the FredFrame™
Read the following safety warning before hoisting/ rigging ONE projection head. See 020-100133-XX for
more information.
When hoisting/rigging a single projector using its handles, do the following:
1. Remove the projection lens. See
2. Clamp the 4 rigging clamps to the projector's handles staying within the assigned rigging zones. See
Figure 2-5 and
tighten the cross bolt of the clevis arms to ensure the rigging clamp can swivel freely.
NOTE: Symmetrical placement of the clamps on each side of the handles is strongly recommended.
3. Secure the other end of each clamp to the primary support structure.
4. Secure the projector with an additional two safety straps. Using one safety strap per cross beam, route the
strap through the bottom 2 eyebolts and bring them up, and around the outside of the handles.
See Figure
2-10
described below.
Any overhead suspension used MUST be suitably rated for the weight of the
projector. The projector's weight is 435 lb / 197.3 kg.
Maximum load rating of the projector's handles is 435 lb / 197.3 kg. Use
straps and/or cabling with load capacity adequate for the total projector and
handles when lifting/hoist. Never exceed the load rating specified.
Never try to lift or carry more than one projector at a time.
Remove the projection lens before hoisting/rigging.
2.4.1 Lens
